Jordan Peterson wrestles for 3 years with the Resurrection of Jesus

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 เม.ย. 2021
- These videos are clips taken 3 years apart from two separate interviews. In the first interview, Jordan says he needs about 3 more years to ponder and look into the resurrection claims before he can make a determination or even comment. in the second interview (three years later) Jordan says that he probably believes that Jesus did rise from the dead. He says it seems oddly plausible. Pray for Jordan Peterson as the holy Spirit is working in his life to lead him to the truth!

He takes Christ more seriously than many Christians.
He's certainly no 2D parrot..... he's multi-faceted, dives deep and has amazing insight and ability to relate that to everyday people with such passion. Amazing man.... what a legacy he's left to the world. A prophet of our time, how blessed we are.
I agree. ❤
Sad but true!
Many Christians I encounter are fine with other Christians but dealing with others they meet who are struggling they seem to avoid them like the plague.
Jordan Peterson has gone deeper into these matters than anyone I read in my youth the 1970s.
We had philosophers and theologians but they had a kind of reserve and even timidity. Peterson takes risks and has a depth of experience.
"Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen, and have believed."
Amen
So, essentially, blessed are the gullible 🤔
@@sleeperino3054 Apparently, that statement hurt your ego...
In 1985 I was 13 at the shrine of the blessed virgin at Mount Mellary Ireland, the statue of our lady became brighter than white and shone, it moved out from the rocks and the image of Jesus Christ began to appear in its place, he was in a bright white robe, a black sash around hs waist, his hair was dark shoulder length, his heart was outside his chest,he appeared white, his hands were by his sides palms facing forward with the wounds of crucifixion visable, tears rolled from my eyes, not because I was weeping, it just was like my body was doing its own thing, I was taken to a little hut that had windows cut out, no glass, I blinked as in a situation like ths you will try to assure yourself what your seeing as real, when I called him in my mind, I said his name Jesus Christ, before I could say his name he responded to my thought and slowly turned his head until he was staring right at me, I looked as long as I could and hung my head, his look made me feel something that to this day struggle with, I mustered my strength and looked back up, he was still looking at me, I looked at him as long as I could which was only about 5 to 10 seconds and I had to hang my head again, I belive I felt the weight of sin beneath his gaze, I am a lowly and vile sinner, somtimes I belive that he let me see him to show me his unfathomable mercy and love as he knew then all the terrible sins I would commit but still his love was greater than anything I could ever do, other times I remember the strong thout that struck me that evening in my aunts house, that maybe it's for somone else, someone who needs to hear my testomony of the realty of what happened that day, what I can tell you with total faith, is that Jesus Christ is real, you need to know about his firece side that some girls and I saw, I can tell you that I think of that moment many times throughout the day, my one regret is that I didn't throw myself facedown on the ground I front of him, look up Mount Mellary apparitions on TH-cam, there's video from the week during the visions and eye witness testimony, hope this helps you in your journey too the Father through Jesus Christ, Ave Maria
@@sleeperino3054 Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen - Hebrews 11:1
I’m nearly 30 and struggled with my beliefs all my life. I was involved in the occult and thought about Islam also. My life changed when my mom passed away from Covid and she had recently became a Christian. The last words she said to me was “do not be afraid.”
Amazing testimony, God bless you and your mother. I pray she is in paradise with our Lord.
Read the gospel of John out loud over yourself in private and ask Jesus Christ to reveal Himself to you. Sit silently and see what you get from what you read. Do this for a couple weeks and except God to manifest Himself to you. If you're sincere you will encounter God for yourself and it will be undeniable. Find a church that teaches the Bible-God bless you dear one!

@Nose Down And Call It A Night to further clarify would come at the cost of plausible deniability, and bate & switch… he wouldn’t be willing to give those up ;-)
@Nose Down And Call It A Night My thought too. He has great insight and discernment but when it comes to pinning himself down so everyone knows his view...there is a lacking.
I mean this gets very muddy when one tries to actually parse what is historical and what is mythical in the Gospels.
I once heard a famous movie director ( mike nichols ) describe the first time he saw ' a streetcar named desire ' on broadway as : ' 100 % real , and 100 % poetry ' ... that left a big impression on me & i think comes close to what JP is talking about here ....

Through him.
That the pressure and popularity working on him. It is stripping him of his convictions because he now craves popularity over honest reflection. A shadow of the great mind of just a couple of years ago.
@@TRE601 you don't know that...
God has been working on me at the same time. This is currently something I am finding it hard to get too. Trying to think with the heart and not the head but struggling.
@@lunarose9042 But don't you think that both heart and mind (head) are same important? We have God-given minds so it seems that our obligation is to seek the Truth and stand by it.

"And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."
Matthew 18:3 NIV
I remember being a child who believed in the Bible wholeheartedly. Then adulthood came and along with it doubts. Many deep thinkers struggle with faith for the reasons JP laid out. May we rekindle the childlike faith from before, but have it built upon a solid intellectual foundation.
Yeah but, what do we do with the scripture that talks about becoming a man and putting away childish things?

It’s about wholeheartedly accepting eternal salvation as a gift out of grace, not of ignorance. By grace through faith are you saved, and not of works (Ephesians 2:9). When a child receives a gift they receive it and don’t wonder about whether or not they deserve it- they receive it with wholehearted joy. Plus, Jesus said that during his earthly ministry and we are now sealed with the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13) when we trust in his blood atonement (John 6:29)(1 John 2:2)(Hebrews 9:22)(1 Corinthians 5:7)(1 Corinthians 15:1-4)

Read “Mere Christianity” and “The Great Divorce” by C.S. Lewis. Those books convinced me when I was doubtful.🥰
Hi Jenny, have you heard of Muhammad. He was born in 630 AD. I’m not sure why Christians reject this. But in the end I respect everyone.
These are two of my favorite books. I'm looking forward to seeing The Great Divorce as a production. My family and I saw the Max McLean production of The Screwtape Letters.

The part Jordan is missing is the grace of God extended to humanity.
Yes, but I think God is working on him though and he is so close to believing. Grace is a tough thing to wrap our minds around as it goes against our intellect.
Well I don’t think he missed it. I believe he speaking of it in the simple terms of symbolic significance. We’ve seen Jordan tear up in emotion When speaking about God.
Think of how beautiful it is for a man whose life is based off logic and reason and the sheerly intellectual is still so close to the Devine that it’s only a mere step
@@bgt2848 Emotional behavior is irrelevant. His statements are all about striving to achieve righteousness. This is an glaring misrepresentation of Christ and the purpose of the resurrection that any Christian would understand.

@NoFear1979 okay, & what is your point for quoting this absolutely
random verse?
Didn't they teach you in elementary school to start reading from the BEGINNING??
Yes! Start from the beginning of chapter 18, or else you'll be lost & not know the context of which you read
1 sentence, at random, then tried to discredit the divinityof Jesus.
Man, you must be an idiot, and the Christian that believes you is more of an idiot, and a lazy Christian at thatA
Open your bibles Christians and READ FROM PAGE 1!
Okay little sonny boy,
Lets give you a Bible lesson.
Start from point 1!
Chapter 18, verses 1-32 Ezekiel, is actually beautiful!
It states what Jesus was teaching, to REPENT & your sins will he forgiven. This chapter points out an individual who "walks in the statutes of God", and another person who does not.
Now, if the person who's whole existence is sin & hatred for God has a son, and the son sees the wrong his dad does, so decides to live righteously, that son doesn't take on his fathers sins. THANK GOD!! Each individual is responsible son for his or her own choices, free will, to live righteously, or live a sinful life.
YOUR CHOICE!!!
This may allude to the early old testament where God said that iniquity will be passed down 3 to 4 generations.
The one who follows Gods commandments will live, meaning, eternal life.
The one who breaks all the rules will surely die. Meaning, that person will exist without God. A separation from God, by our own free will, our own choosing to do so. Nobody forces us to sin.
Jesus said He is the Way, Truth, & the what?? LIFE!!!
SIN IS DEATH.
You either love God, or hate God.
If you love a parent, you OBEY THEM.
Then the prophet Ezekiel puts together next that the righteous person lives, the one that breaks all the commandments will die. Now, if the individual who is a sinner, and the son chooses to not follow his fathers ways, but instead live righteously, that son will LIVE!!
Bc he is not guilty of his fathers sins, biologically!
MAN, you're either an instigator or a lazy IDIOT!
I tell you this, unless you repent and soften your hardened heart,
YOU will surely DIE YOURSELF!!
Even the lambs that are lead to slaughter don't know they're about to die until they see the barrel in their face.
No fear?
That foolish animal is you. I implore you WAKE UP!
Good luck.
@@rvz77 If you cant think of the reason why he quoted that verse specifically that is concerning.
@@LuisGonzalez-rm5vx I want him to state why he quoted that specific verse.
Instead of trolling & instigating, instead looking like a moron.
Seriously what did he do, look up verses that say Jesus is not divine??
Read the Bible if you're actually SERIOUS about His divinity before attacking.
@@rvz77 Amazing, you say you need to read the beginning to understand the context and that's exactly what Jews tell Christians when they refer to passages like issah 53 and claim that it's a prophecy of Jesus.
Realize that Jews read the Hebrew bible (old testament) in the original hebrew text as aposed to relying on translations and they read everything and still disagree with you. It's there holy book that you borrow, their prophesies, there criteria to be a messiah. They reject Jesus because he didnt meet the requirements to be the messiah.
His sincerity and honesty are so powerful. I believe many, many Christians are praying for Jordan to come to know and accept our Savior.

he is Peter-son. Son of Peter. a descendant of the bloodline and lineage of Peter the Disciple of Jesus Christ. you cant convince me otherwise. his words are wise just like the Bible. and his message and teachings are very similar to the Bible if not exactly. JBP is our modern day Daniel in the book of Daniel if i were to give a fair comparison to a Biblical character. just like Daniel he was psychological and knew the hearts of men and kings well, was very wise, and believed God. just like the kings of old trusted Daniel to do untold amounts of works and deeds so should the kings of today heed the advice of Dr. Jordan B. Peterson. i could be completely wrong about the lineage thing lol but i sure love to think thats true. give the man his flowers while hes here cuz i assure everyone, when he is no longer with us we will surely miss him.
So awesome that Patrick Coffin got to interview Jordan.
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful, and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your spirit Lord and we shall be created and you shall renew the face of the earth.
O God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of your faithful, grant that in the same spirit we may be truly wise and ever rejoice in His consolations, through the same Christ our Lord.
A lovely prayer !
Amen!
When he starts crying, is the part Jordan can’t understand but it’s Christ’s presence. I’ve felt it many times😊
ohhh booyyy
or maybeee, it's just an emotional reaction to the simple thoughts you have in your brain. i wonder which one is more plausible..
sometimes , when i poop hard enough, i feel an intense exhilaration. is that Christ's presence as well? 🤔
@@andreww4751 You won't need to poop 'hard enough' if you end up meeting him without knowing him. Something to think about while you're pooping 💩
25 years here. Haven't read anything from the bible my entire life. I actually got here from Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight archives. You can really see how the philosophical messages from the story of Christ really converge back to that moment
Every time I see this I pray for the Lord to help him with this struggle 🙏🏼 Jordan is unaware that there's possibly thousands of believers around the world that pray for him to see and comprehend the truth 🙏🏼
Count me as one of them.

It seems that Peterson is under Conviction. I experienced that. But He is so intellectual that He is struggling with it. God is working with him and he will get there if his heart condition is right. You will become a better much happier person. With an inner peace that surpasses all understanding. Embrace it Sir
Shit happens to me too. In fact i seem to tear up almost as often as he does when he speaks about stuff like this. It's like there's a knowing there... and when i watch him realize it... a part of me realizes it too... seems my mind does not seek to yield completey

That was beautiful to see. He is so close to faith in God but his intellect prevents it. He knows the truth but his flesh is holding him back.
It could also be be said that your flesh holds you back from reasonably thought.
@@txbeachbum don't bother my friend. let him believe
I don't think it's his intellect holding him back. I think it's just plain old fear of the unknown-----fear of taking the leap of faith.
To my overall detriment, I have always needed things to make logical and objective sense to my brain before can understand, agree or believe. Goes for anything and everything in my life. Much like it seems with Dr Peterson. For so long it’s kept me from opening my mind and waking up. This is powerful beyond words to me in my journey to find Christ again. I want to awaken. Thank you Dr Peterson.
So interesting seeing Dr. Peterson actually personify and try to articulate with words what is so simply explained in the Bible. That it’s by Grace through FAITH we receive and commune with Christ. No matter how much you study it psychologically and scientifically, it will always require faith 😊😊 God bless him 🙏
“the narrative and objective touch”……you mean “on earth as it is in Heaven” 🙌👌 exactly what we’re told to pray for. He’s having a hard time believing that God actually listens to and cares for humanity. But you can tell he really wants it to be true!! He’s a true scholar but still manages to retain a childlike heart in some ways. It’s amazing and not something we see often. I respect him for his honesty and vulnerability. He reminds me of Nicodemus in a way. It’s like.. “born again?…hmmm How does that work?” 🧐
I agree. Have you seen the series “The Chosen”? The scene where Jesus and Nicodemus have a conversation where “going back into my mother’s womb” was spoken of, really reminds me of this struggle Jordan is having. It’s beautifully demonstrated in that show. Great perspective.
@@kdfleming9152 yes, exactly. That was a great scene. 👍 Nicodemus had a real struggle with what his earthly learning told him and what the “eyes of his heart” were seeing.
Why would you relegate something as ( according to the Christian theology ) important as a god and eternal salvation of your soul....to FAITH? Faith is believing in something without any real evidence. Now in what other part of your life, in what thing...do you believe in anything, with FAITH? Answer: None. It's absurd to do so. Christ may never have existed. Possibly a wandering rabbi ( one of many ) possibly named Yeshua...may have been the historical character that the mythical Jesus character is based on. That rabbi may have been crucified or maybe not. But, if he was, he certainly did not.....NOT rise bodily from the dead. There is zero evidence for that claim.
So well articulated
@@philosopher0076... we take medicines in faith, get married in faith, buy products off the internet in faith, climb onto airplanes in faith, sit on chairs in faith. Almost everything that we do has a degree of faith.

Arguably the most important thing on TH-cam. Mr Peterson is trying to give logic to his belief system. But believe like faith is a knowledge of the heart. It's not susceptible to usual forms of logic. This man is precious and I am thankful for all his work.
You're exactly right. Logic can only take you only so far. After that, it's a matter of faith, which requires submission of the heart and will as well.
Over the years, I have found our faith to be rational, reasonable and logical.
What Dr. Peterson was struggling with was probably a combination of dying to his Academic world views about Christianity and his realisation (and fear) of the cost of following Christ. He is an "all in" type of person, who would have understood that surrender to Christ is no comfortable thing.
But I may be wrong.
I needed to cross paths with clip today and I did. Thank you 🙏 I am grateful.
He is working out his salvation with fear and trembling. We all have to do that. God bless Jordan Peterson!
I am amazed at how helpful a video can be in less than 10 minutes.
Jordan's soul is alive and searching. His heart is open. But his tremendous intellect is his last stumbling block. He's going to have to lay the brain aside, and just submit to Christ. Then, his mind will be renewed, and he will be an amazing force for God.
Well said, that's exactly what I understand about him. He's afraid to fully throw himself to the feet of Christ because he knows that if he does, he will have to leave EVERYTHING behind. First to go must be the intellectual mind... and that will be his ultimate stumbling block towards liberation.
So, to follow Christ, you have to let go of your intellectual mind?
Sincerely, I don’t understand what you mean by that. Is the decision to follow Christ not a decision made by your mind, but by something else?
@@adamkinsey3139 Not exactly. And I don't blame you for the question. It's legitimate. There are two parts to this, and neither of them is ENTIRELY logical, although there's more than a little logic in all of it.
First, to believe in Christ must necessarily be an engagement of faith. Logic and study can lead you to the precipice, but you cannot ever prove scientifically that God exists. And even if you decide that He must exist, there's the question of what that might mean for you. Does that mean you must submit to Him? Will it profoundly effect the way you live? These are questions Jordan trembles at, and well he might. Christians ought to tremble more. It's embarrassing that he sees this clearer than we.
Those are the essential questions. There will always be some element of faith in that decision. You must decide whether there's enough evidence for you to first believe, and then decide to put your trust in Him. And that can't be done strictly logically. This is where Jordan hesitates IMO. He sees the shadows; the footprints of God, but he can't see HIM. And he won't believe in what he cannot see. It's in his own formidable mind that he puts his ultimate trust.
Second, once you're a believer, there's the question of who is to be the boss. God gave us our intellect, and science is just man's pursuit of truth. It's a very good pursuit, and worthwhile. BUT. One must realize that as smart as we are, there is a limit to what we can understand. As a believer, you know that God alone holds and understands ALL the Truth.
At that point, You must bring your mind under what Christ has said. You do not take it upon yourself to correct Him. He is God, you are not. You definitely continue to engage your intellect. But you do it within the bounds that He's set for you because there are some things too large for our minds.
That's too big a leap for most people, especially intelligent ones. This is what I meant by the OP. God, if he is God, must be GOD. If you can't accept Him as that, then you can't be a Christian. That's a simple as I think I can make this idea.
Glad to clarify if you desire.
He clearly doesn’t believe.
Just at this time, filled with joy by the Holy Spirit, Jesus said, 'I bless you, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, for hiding these things from the learned and the clever and revealing them to little children. (Luke 10:21)
Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe. (John 20:29)
A pursuer of truth and reason in a bewildering world is Dr Jordan Peterson. God speed Sir.
I’m really not going to put my faith in someone who got famous for opposing a bill that would expanding the Human Rights Act to protect a minority group he didn’t like.
@@jaksida300 thats a pretty odd statement considering this protest was about the condemnation of legislation that would restrict free speech and from his perspective of being an expert in authoritarianism, he sees cause for concern over it? He flat out said he would call people whatever they wished to be called in a private setting out of respect for the person. This issue apparently went right over your head.
The Holy spirit! The greatest gift in this universe!
And this is what happened to me a month ago... I absolutely cannot deny it anymore, that God exists. Which automatically meant, for me, that Jesus existed and died on a cross for all of our sins, for those that choose to believe it. And we are redeemed. It is simply unbelievable, and yet it happened.
We live you, Jordan, we really do. I pray you will let yourself believe. He has already given his life to God, though, in the persuit of truth. If you will let yourself believe, then you will be saved along with the many others you have helped God save.
Amen brother proud of you may God bless you in Jesus' name forever and ever amen.
“I’m amazed at my own belief and I don’t understand it.” Yes, this is perplexing and wonderful and frightening all at once. It reminds one of how we can read about romance, and understand the biology of procreation, but nothing prepares us for the actual experience of falling in love. And once you’ve had that experience, you’re forever a different person. So it is with meeting Christ.
Yes, but the problem is that Jordan clearly has NOT had that experience yet, and is hanging right on the edge of faith fearful of taking that leap. I feel for him. That's a hard place to be !
@@CarlMCole check his channel, he uploaded something a few days ago you'd like to see
Amén, Hallelujah.
Such a tremendous statement:
"It is too terrifying reality to fully believe".
Yes, it's definitely overwhelming, but he has to take the leap of faith, or remain stuck where he's at : Unable to go forward, and unable to go back !
Jordan. Take it from me a small humble man. Another Alberta son. When you finally accept the truth of Jesus Christ you will experience real freedom. And again you are correct my Dear Doctor the path to the truth is terrifying.
Why is it terrifiying? Explain please?
You don't know the consequences of what would happen if you truly believed.
If you "fully believe" Jordan Peterson's "terrifying reality"
--- you receive the best friend you could ever have hoped to have, who says of you
---"I am not ashamed to be your God." Hebrews 11:16
--- literally, God wants us to brag about Him being "our best Friend"
I am so glad to see this
It's as simple as this. Yes Dr Peterson you have a deep clear understanding of the metaphorical, psychological and symbolic meanings of christs rising from the dead. The thing is if you accept the truth that Jesus didn't just symbolically rise from the dead but did so in a literal sense. That would mean that God is in fact real and your entire worldview would have to crumble down and you would have to learn to "lean not on your own understanding" it's a very hard thing to do, to realize the entire way you thought about reality might actually be wrong or be missing a crucial aspect of understanding that would then shift all the foundations you've built on sinking sand. That's what coming to Christ is like, renewing your mind, learning a whole new perspective, usually accompanied by an intense paradigm shift. I've seen it in you time and time again. God is knocking on your door and in stead of standing in the room debating with yourself wether or not The knock is literal or metaphorical, just open the door, accept that it could in fact be both and just open the door and see what you find. God promises you will find Him. When you seek Him with all of your heart.
You're absolutely right! Especially when you quoted "lean not on your own understanding" I think you hit the nail right on the head. I have been reading through his books, and what bugs me is how close his "own understanding" is to the real Jesus, but also how narrowly he missed Jesus. It's painful because it's like a basketball shot that gets really close to making it in but then doesn't. He talks so much about the archetypal story of dying and resurrecting continually in the face of the ever-present truth that exists outside of man, and in a sense he has been doing this because he is continually renewing his understanding of who Jesus is, as you said you have seen it time and time again over the course of these three years. However, he is still so far in the sense that he has not taken the ultimate step of faith and submitting all that he is to Jesus. I really hope that he does this soon, the angels in heaven and the Christians on earth will rejoice when he does. However, I feel like his worldview is very very close to the Christian worldview, and when he does accept Christ, it will be very similar to how the Old Testament law was fulfilled by Jesus: not entirely torn down because we still need to obey the commandments, but renewed and made perfect. I do get what you mean though, that his entire worldview must be crumbling down, because what's at the top of his "hierarchical structure" is himself. He uses his vast intellect to serve the top of his hierarchy, but what's missing is Jesus at the top and he must instead use his gifts to serve Him.
Anyways, I really enjoyed your comment, thank you for sharing!
@@nathanaelwendel883 thank you for such a well written and Insightful reply. I share on your frustration because ever time I hear him speak on Christ it's like he is right there, he is so close to the revelation of who Jesus is, and God even sent him a dream about all the great kings that he studies about bowing down to Christ. And rather than seeing the literal message to it all he picks apart the psychological and philosophical aspects of it. His own wisdom and intellect Are definitely getting in the way. Just keep praying for him, how wonderful it would be to see him come to Christ in spirit and in truth. If he is still alive when that happens his testimony and speaking skills could be used tremendously for God's kingdom. Keep him in prayer and I will do so as well. Have a wonderful day brother, and may the grace of Jesus be with you.
@@jesseramirez7490 Yes, that example of the dream that Dr. Peterson had also come to mind when watching this video. Thanks for praying along with me. Have a blessed day
It may be as simple as that on an intellectual level ( I agree with you that it is), but there are other things involved than just a person's mind, like their heart and their will. Jordan is a human being, just like you and I. And you are obviously smart enough and wise enough to know that neither you nor I always do the most logical thing, or the thing that our minds tell us to do ! Your logic is impeccable, but you're leaving out the human elements like fear and guilt and doubt from your analysis of his (and our) situation.
It's very hard to believe it literally.
I don't have much faith, but I love Jesus.
So, all I can do is live the obedient life He desires us to live.
Hopefully, that makes Him as happy as it makes me.
Pray for more faith and you will get it
Exactly right
Matthew 18:3 And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
God made the stories of the bible sound silly on purpose. So that you have to put a childlike faith in him, because that's what you need to believe in the great flood, or Adam and Eve, or most importantly the fact that Jesus resurrected himself for your salvation. Hope this helps in anyway my friend. God bless.
I don't understand why it's hard to believe any of it literally ? If God could create you and the whole universe (which he certainly did !), surely it would not be a problem for him to raise one person from the dead, or turn water into wine, etc.! And by the way, after more than forty years of research on these subjects, I can tell you that it requires LESS faith to believe that God created the universe and life on Earth than it does to believe that He DIDN'T do so ! It's OBVIOUS that He did, if you study the subject !
Sanity.
How beautiful is it to see a good man who lives life intellectually, for a reason, and logic, Still find Find his way to the mountaintop
When I see Jordan cry it is truly a beautiful thing. An absolutely lovely human being
He is so close! Please Jesus lead Jordan to salvation. Amen
Yes, I've been thinking the same thing for quite awhile now.
He is Christian now.
You did such a great job on Genesis really you did to all the young men and women and people who listen to you doing that you at least give them opportunity to know the story really well and make them think about it
“In the beginning was The Word and The Word was with God and The Word was god.” John 1:1
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” John 1:14
Yes. Awesome !
Mr. Peterson will be a great figure in future more than present days. His life and works will be study a lot in college and university in future.
Wow...the Spirit is obviously drawing JBP to the Truth, and giving him amazing revelations along the way. Lord Jesus, continue to draw this amazing man and his most humble voice to You, into full salvation. Give him a revelation of the Resurrection of Jesus that is beyond denying. May he then know and rest in the surpassing peace of the Prince of Peace - his physical brain healed & at peace. Amen and Amen!
When you fully believe you're in a truly beautiful place
He's not gonna outrun the Hound of Heaven. LOL. He got me, running from one and of the earth to the other.
Here's to praying that you're right about Jordan ! That "Hound" chased me down too, and I'm an intellectual type just like he is !
Dear Sir Jordan Peterson your heart has an astounding intelligence and it's making you search to find the - Truth. The truth about why we exist. The reason why we die, the reason we cry when someone we love dies... If this were "normal" at this point in history we should ve been used to that reality.. Yet we don't accept it, and that is expressed in many ways... So when you look at what the Bible says about the ressurection you are not only looking at part of the answers to two of the above questions but also putting into perspective what God has in store for those who are willing to get to know him as He is. Please check that promise in the book of - Psalms 37:29.
For goodness sake we cry when someone (close to us) dies because we don't get to see them anymore
Faith is a supernatural thing. That is what Peterson does experience now. Sometimes a huge brain can be an obstacle for a pure child-like faith. But who seeks will find. That is wonderful. Praise be to Jesus Christ!
Though you'll never read this, Jordan... Yet, kudos to you for valuing Reason and Logical analysis of the claim... and giving yourself the additional time for acquiring and weighing all possible information and evidences both pro and con to the question... before approaching, step by step, a conclusion. Too many... as seen below in all the emotive faith-based "witnessing" of what NONE of these people actually witnessed... simply rely on feelings having invested little if any time to carefully and objectively studying and researching the historical and spiritual evidences and their cultural contexts influencing all such. You state perfectly the concept of the historical and the narrative occasionally touching, for this is certainly true. But we have to very carefully approach such instances to best determine where, how and to what degree such "touching" might have occurred.
I have invested many years to this key question, having first acquired as best I am able a foundational understanding of the historical, cultural and religious context of 1st-Century Judaism as well as ... most importantly ... how such context acted upon all the parties involved (e.g., the "apostles," Saul/Paul, Saul's disciples [e.g., the actual Gospel Writers]) considering THEIR self-serving motivations and biases in founding a new religion with themselves at its head. For we must both acknowledge and carefully consider the fact that everything we think we know of the historical Yeshua (including most notably His fake name, "Jesus") comes almost exclusively through the filter of Saul and his very-biased disciples, none of whom ever met... much less walked with... the historical Yeshua. Everything we find in the New Testament, with extremely rare exception (e.g, Epistle of James, perhaps), is all HEARSAY. Perhaps the closest we will ever get to Yeshua's actual words and nature... is found in the Anti-Gnostic Gospel of Thomas, which isn't even part of the New Testament.
And as mentioned briefly above... oh, the irony of hearing Christians endlessly proclaim how well they know their "Jesus," while ignorant of the glaring fact that this wasn't even His name! I mean... think about it: How well can you claim to know someone... whose name you don't even know?!
As regards the Resurrection... you unknowingly put your finger on it perfectly, for indeed the historical touches the narrative... but does not merge with it.
Yeshua was the literal begotten Son of God... though exactly who and what the literal "God of Israel" is, is not understood, for here as well... the historical touches but does not merge with the narrative. But... for purposes of this reply... it is sufficient to state that, as also occurred elsewhere in ancient history, Yeshua was indeed a true demi-god (half Human / half "God"), which gave Him very special, even supernatural, qualities, capacities and abilities. Thus... as also evidenced by a careful reading of the Gospels, properly giving more historical credence to the earliest of the Synoptic Gospels, the Gospel of Mark, and next, Matthew, in which there is no mention is of Yeshua's body being pierced with a spear, Yeshua simply ... "died." This is unusual in the extreme because, as history bears out, such crucifixion takes far more hours to result in death than indicated... which is why the bones were broken in the other two so as to hasten death. He is then taken down and immediately handed over to His female disciples. And then, after a day (the Sabbath), Yeshua leaves (as we are told) the tomb on Monday morning (that's only about 36 hours... a day and a-half... not "three days"). Given all this... it seems far better evidenced that Yeshua was not resurrected from the dead but, instead, was revived and never died.
And this occurred for a very KEY purpose entirely missed by the "apostles" and ALL of Christianity ever since... though Yeshua makes the purpose very clear in the Synoptic Gospels. But the "apostles" never understood His parables and, thus, were never given the deeper teachings He gave his TRUE disciples (yes... the "apostles" were NOT part of Yeshua's inner circle), which is why they were only taught in parables they never understood:
10 And the disciples came , and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given .
12 For whosoever hath , to him shall be given , and he shall have more abundance : but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath .
13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand . (Matthew ch. 13, vss.10-13)
Yet... did not Yeshua ONLY teach the "apostles" in parables? And did Yeshua not have to EXPLAIN every single one of those parables to them... because "...seeing (they) see not; and hearing (they) hear not, neither do they understand"? It's glaringly apparent, when examined rationally, that these words were intended for the "apostles," who couldn't even understand the simplest of parables and, thus, never received the "mysteries of the kingdom of heaven." And from that we can only conclude such "mysteries" were given... to others who could and did. And THAT is why these "apostles" live their entire lives anticipating and awaiting Yeshua's "Second Coming"... never knowing that that "Second Coming" had already come and gone... and they were left behind! Yes... you heard right... Yeshua's Second Coming and the true Mystery of the Kingdom of God ... came and went without them.
Yeshua's mission had nothing to do with what the "apostles" and Saul later claimed: He never came to Earth to establish a new religion nor to "save" the world from sin and being an unneeded and unprophesied "Savior" of it and us. ALL of this was concocted decades later... a slow and thorough process of reinvention and fanciful fabrication by the "apostles" and Saul... with them at its head, of course.
I wish I could have the opportunity to share a story with Jordan that I have been analyzing for 33 years. I think it would be helpful with the connection between this world and the next. The reality of Christ and what the Resurrection is.
Damn the door of time and space!
Tell us! Don't keep it to yourself
@@matiasnunes7250 I wish people who do that would just not comment at all.
It’s fascinating that I’ve seen now on 3 occasions when Dr Peterson says something that he’s clearly really been battling with and the person he’s speaking to laughs then he starts crying….. 😞….. I can totally relate to this feeling he has as you really feel like you’ve actually been battling with something insignificant if when you try to open your heart and mind to someone else they laugh, you can’t understand as to why you’ve been in mental and spiritual turmoil….
It is so fascinating!! As a believer I can't wait until his understanding is lightened!!!
The flesh( our mind) and spirit are at odds with one another. Read the book of John. It will help tremendously. You must be born again and your mind and spirit will be one😇
I think it's defensive laughter.
@@rachelrucker5642 absolutely…..🙏I feel myself I am going thru a period of being reborn but nobody told me it can be very painful…..I feel this is what JP is going thru and hen he gets laughed at it almost puts into insignificance his battles, I think I’d be the same in that I’d want everyone to almost be really serious when I was trying to speak of it.
The man wasn't laughing at Jordan in a disrespectful way. Jordon's heart felt honesty touched him deeply and he didn't know how to respond.

Psalms 45:4

I believe. Help Thou my unbelief.
I can relate to this, there was apart of me that was terrified about the possibility of Jesus being the truth and the implication for my own life. To be honest, I didn't want it to be true. I was a reluctant convert to Christianity.
so glad you made it! :-)
I have also felt the same, but I have come to see every single action God has taken, even the violent ones, to be out of love for every human being on this planet that has ever existed and will ever exist. He exists outside of our reality. We MUST trust in Him and the ability to see the big picture.
I never would have converted had I not first been terrified by my own inability to figure things out after many years of searching. At some point you just have to give up and take the leap of faith, or be stuck in a kind of really disturbing 'limbo' !
When I first read the prophecies in Daniel and Rev., I not only didn't understand them, I thought they were mythical beasts and had no place in the Bible. I was 30 at that time (1985), and throughout all of the church services I went to, not once were those prophecies ever preached.
In 2017, God got my attention, and directed me to reread those prophecies and the others, but this time was different. He gave understanding of what those creatures were and what they meant, as well as understanding the others too. No one can read those prophecies, with understanding, and conclude anything other than that they were handed down by God.
They weren't put there to entertain us. Their sole purpose is so that we may know that not only is God real and the truth, but that His word is worthy of our trust and faith. He proves Himself to us through those prophecies (over 1800 of them), and verifies His plan of salvation through the giving of His Son.
God doesn't want or expect blind faith. He wants people to understand Him through the written word He has given us, and to build faith on understanding the truths that are in it.
For Jordan Peterson, the prophecies are where the metaphysical meets the real world, and prove that God, Christ and salvation are not fairy tales. It is all as real as real can be.
Grace!
It’s very hard to describe it. And I agree with Peterson in the fact that it bewilders our reason. As a christian, if I am honest, the argument that transformed my life consisted basically of just two words: Follow me. I recognized that “voice” and didn’t question it for a second. That was 41 years ago and I still see Christ as the strongest relationship I have in my life.
But we all have different paths to the knowledge of Christ (assuming we do get there eventually).
@@CarlMCole If we see the Bible there are as many variations as characters in the stories. But the path, the truth and the light is only ONE. We are all called by the same shepherd.
never going to think his way to the divine. he goes on about the literal and the metaphysical and thinks now and then they touch. if he just could believe that they always touch. they cannot be disconnected. they are one.
That sweet ache in your chest is your heart telling you that it is true. Allow your brain the epiphany that Yeshua is Lord, and all else is piffle.
YES!!!
Praying for u Dr. Peterson! Cheer u on!!
Jesus is at the door of your heart..he is patient..he understand n love the mind he gave u..u are so wonderfully fearfully made...the ressurected Jesus will meet u!
Cheer u on with prayers n love!
Yes the truth will set you free. How scary is that, afraid to believe and afraid not to believe.
I understand your emotion, I just had an epiphany, the laminin! The glue that holds our cells together, regulates the cellular activities signaling our pathways. I am struggling to comprehend that it is a coincidence that the image of the laminin is similar to the cross.
Because we are made in his image ❤️ I struggle so much too with faith so much but there’s something about Jesus and I can’t let it go . I really think he was God in human form and I don’t know what to do because the bible has been changed so much it’s not reliable to me
laminin is amazing!!! :-)
I’m all for laminin. But it’s hardly proof of divine cohesion of the universe, biological and otherwise. It may be. But it also may be another ‘miracle’ of nature created without any god’s interference. Oh, look,….the + sign! An equilateral cross. All creation,…added! As opposed to the minus, single line, demonic satanic - taking everything away! Easy on the correspondences, lest ye go mad!
@@joehellno9097 bless u Joe... 😏
@@catherine9808 Man was made in his image, but what image is that referring to? Is it the outer level of ones physical self, two eyes, two ears, two arms,.. or is "image" referring to man's molecular level? DNA?
I agree, the Bible has been re-written and re-translated many, many times over the centuries. Some times these translations have resulted in only creating confusion, case in point, the statue of Moses, with horns.
Yes, I know the meaning of certain words change over time, but one has to wonder how many times Satan has been indirectly responsible for some of these changes that eventually lead to changes being made to the Bible?
Everyone takes a different path to their faith and none of them need any human to approve of that path (Galatians 6:5,6).

You can, but not before you're really willing to, and that point can be very, very rough.
Jordan was touched by christ himself here. I remember well when the Lord touched my heart brought me to tears. Embrace him you won't be sorry Jordan.

It would be pretty cool to have a discussion with him though.
Interesting. I do think it would be prudent to try to believe it. Then see what happens or changes. I think there would be a change and for the better. You can always stop believing in the Passion, if that is your conviction. If there is a change for the better then why stop believing. Is that not what proof is available to you, outside of faith purely.
Peterson is afraid what would happen if he fully believed in Christ, well, look at the great saints throughout church's history, their lives is proof of what would happen if you fully believe in Christ

Great point, and exactly accurate.
In the beginning was the Word and the Word was God. Made for him, by him and through him
Jordan, you are so close. Jesus is/was the Living God while all others were wooden statutes. You'll get to the point where the awesome singularity of the situation will slay you, then there is no going back!
Bless you, brother.
You and I see that very clearly, but I'm afraid he doesn't just yet. Pray for him, please. I am.
Jesus tells Nicodemus he must be born again Nicodemus scratches his head and says how do I crawl back inside my mother ?
As an atheist, I kinda empathize with Jordan here. Other than as a metaphor, I can't put myself in the mind of someone who actually believes miracles happen.
Joaking tube seems you believe in secular miracles life from non life , order from chaos ,personality from the impersonal,logic apart from consciousness

With all his wisdom he still fails to fully accept Christ out of terror of what might be if he did. His heart of hearts says God is real and his knowledge tells him the opposite. Will be interesting to see what stance he holds in another 3 years.

Seems his intellectuallism depends on his 5 senses. If we reflect on the history of science, we will realize that it is illogical to think that what we see is all there is. Seeing is limited by the instruments we have on hand during a specific period of time.

@@thebubbacontinuum2645
Jesus said to Thomas: you have come to believe because you have seen me. Blessed are those who have not seen & yet believe.
Dear Jordan, I can understand as to how your intellect feels as to how it has to explain and rationalise everything. You can obviously recognise that you are trying to capture faith and put it in a bottle. That obviously cannot happen, and we read as to how faith cannot be explained. However when you incorporate the historical events that followed as a result of the resurrection, then it becomes obvious that if Jesus had not appeared to the 500 people over 40 days, then Peter would have gone back to his fishing boat, and he would not have confronted the Roman Empire with an armed force of a few other unarmed men and women. The proof is that he won under the teaching of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit.
Religion has twisted and perverted that, ever since Christianity has been politically bottled since the 3rd century. See David Pawson’s concise history of 2000 years of Christianity for details.
Look inside your heart for the truth. You will find it. What you do with it from there is your responsibility. God has a plan for you, he has given you individual and special talents, it is down to you alone to use them to His glory, not yours. When you realise that, you will be free.

Your right. Being an intellectual does NOT make things easier when it comes to taking the leap of faith.
@@CarlMCole it's cause intellectuals in the west have warped view on what mind/intellect is for, it's for affirming what's humane, moral, ethical and spiritual, it's not to affirm what's biological/physical, cause that's easily seen with the eyes.
When truth confronts you, it is scary...it's an irritant but in the best way possible. The only thing that can hinder truth is the dishonesty we are willing to accept to justify the wrong we do. Anyone seeking truth, must be humble and intellectually honest to have any hope in having their eyes opened. Truth...like death, is scary to consider and confront...but what comes after it is a lot better than anyone of us could have imagined. I pray Mr. Peterson continues his study and remains humble enough to accept the truth of JESUS the CHRIST....and the truth will set him free.
The fact that he looked rather healthy forst clip and said I'd need atleaste 3 years to investigate then the second clip where he's right there confessing his belief but stubbornly not finishing his race he ran the marathon did the work amd stops at the finish line..he's staring at the line and we need to pray the conviction comes upon him through the hy spirit to get borne again
He's afraid, and understandably so.
