Clinical psychologist and public intellectual Dr Jordan Peterson sits down with Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan to discuss the existence of God, praying and faith.
Dr Peterson told Mr Morgan he's "terrified" that there might be a God.
"It's an Old Testament saying - I believe that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom - and that's actually about as true a statement as you can manage in such a short phrase," he said.
"People have congratulated me - I was at the Buckley Institute last night - they were congratulating me on my courage.
"And I said this last night, 'it's like you guys don't understand, it has nothing to do with courage, I'm just afraid of different things than the people who lie'."
So refreshing to see Piers so eagerly listening and not talking over someone. You could tell the man has mad respect for JP.
I'm glad they touch on the god topic ( no much news does) but as a Christian Jordan failed miserably, he said no proof for God or jesus, it's Christians like him that make me ashamed to be one CHRISTIANS START ADVOCATING , HEAVEN AND HELL ARE AT STAKE
@@LukeCrawford-sv4bk I do not believe he would accept the label of "Christian." Yet he has Christian spirit. I believe he is trying to stay out of a label which would narrow the audience to whom he wants to speak. He, as any thinking person, is a work in progress.
He learned from tate
@@LukeCrawford-sv4bk I am a Christian. There is no physical 'proof' for God. There is sufficient evidence that Jesus existed, there is insufficient evidence to suggest that Jesus is indeed the Son of God for a fact. That comes down to whether the person believes what the Bible says. I think it's worse that a Christian should lie to others saying that the Bible is physical proof: it's not.
His kids instructed him to listen when this man speaks
He's almost there. He's asking the right questions. Jeremiah 29:13 - "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."
So basically you will find god so long as you already believe in him. Shouldn;t god be revealing himself to unbelievers?
@@richardgregory3684because you are not interested in him. Once you are ready you will fine him.
@@richardgregory3684that’s not what that says at all
@richardgregory3684 The Holy Spirit will work in the hearts of unbelievers in different ways, also in conversations like these... You know that the bible says that God does not want anyone to perish, but for all to come to repentance. He is slow to anger and full of mercy. I was born again through the grace of God and I'll never look back
@@riaanferreira2206 So god is having to rely on an invisible spook to send telepathic messages to people? Why not just show himself unambiguously, like he used to in the old testament...you know, before the time when humans could accurately record events. Oh, I think I see the problem! God is slow to anger? The same god who destroyed an entire planet of life because humans acted according to the natures god had given them? The god who hardened Pharaoh's heart first and _then_ killed tens of thousands of children and babies? That god?
“I’m terrified that there might be” is a great answer. The beginning of Proverbs speaks on how fear of the Lord is the beginning of through wisdom.
It is a real fear...but hopeful too. Makes you try to be good and stoic regardless of what is happening. When someone ask me if I believe in God I usually don't know how to answer. Sometimes I say "I don't know".
@@stevenriften7561The proof is I was blind but now I see !
well there are just 2 answers, YES or NO, if you say you do not know that counts as NO, at least in your case, because you will kick yourself in the ass how close you could have said YES and live accordingly. Lukewarm is worse than cold. But sad for man of such potential to be slave of this analysis paralysis and not be ashamed of, most probably cause that style made him a lot of money
I am shocked to be seeing something so good televised in my lifetime. This short clip is full of so much hope. I never, never imagined that this could happen! Truly beautiful.
are you drunk?
I love Dr. Peterson so much. He looks healthy and in good spirits. God bless him. 🙏🏻
what god?
Peterson on the topic of religion is fundamentally dishonest. He's got good ideas elsewhere (especially directly in his relevant field), but on the topic of theism almost everything he says is garbage (and he guards that with exactly the evasiveness you see in this interview).
@@njeps584 It's probably the cognitive dissonance of (A) understanding faith isn't a reliable way of knowing truth, but (B) because we don't have evidence (the only _reliable_ way) of a god, he's stuck relying on faith, which he knows isn't reliable. So then the mind races to avoid confronting that reality in any way possible.
God will not bless him if Jordan doesn’t openly proclaim Him.
I really wouldn’t make assumptions about the reason he’s evasive about his faith. I’m just happy he’s nodding to it because God’s presence is inescapable, especially for someone so thoughtful.
Matthew 10:32-33, “Everyone who acknowledges Me before men, I also will acknowledge before My Father who is in heaven, but whoever denies Me before men, I also will deny before My Father who is in heaven.”
Amen. I hope Peterson will come to this conclusion and declare his belief in Jesus
Bible is word of God yet not most correct book on earth. Other ancient Scripture is better.
Matthew 7:21-23 "Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven..
christianity is #fakenews
"me" in that verse is Jesus.
There’s nothing compares with the peace God gives. I fell away from God but I remember where my help came from. God is absolutely real to me because it’s an inner working that the world can’t give. Wishing everyone all the best on their journey.
Every time I stray away from my relationship with god everything falls apart. Every.Time. When will I ever learn? lol❤
The All-Knowing, The Wise, The Creator of Everything Said: {Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are signs for the wise. Who remember Allah while standing or sitting or [resting] on their sides and give thought to the creation of the heavens and the earth, [saying], "Our Lord, You did not create this aimlessly; exalted are You [above such a thing]; then protect us from the punishment of the Fire. Our Lord, indeed whoever You admit to the Fire - You have disgraced him, and there are no helpers for the wrongdoers. Our Lord, indeed we have heard a caller calling to faith, [saying], 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed. Our Lord, so forgive us our sins and remove from us our misdeeds and cause us to die with the righteous. Our Lord, grant us what You promised us through Your messengers and do not disgrace us on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed, You do not fail in [Your] promise." And their Lord responded to them, "Never will I allow to be lost the work of [any] worker among you, whether male or female; you are of one another. So those who emigrated or were evicted from their homes or were harmed in My cause or fought or were killed - I will surely remove from them their misdeeds, and I will surely admit them to gardens beneath which rivers flow as reward from Allah, and Allah has with Him the best reward." Be not deceived by the [mercantilistic] wanderings of the unbelievers, on earth. Because it is a transitory enjoyment, and its abode will be hell. What a dismal abode. But those who feared their Lord will have gardens beneath which rivers flow, abiding eternally therein, as accommodation from Allah. And that which is with Allah is best for the righteous. And indeed, among the People of the Scripture are those who believe in Allah and what was revealed to you [O Mohammed, The Messenger of Allah] and what was revealed to them [Jews & Christians], [being] humbly submissive to Allah. They do not exchange the verses of Allah for a small price. Those will have their reward with their Lord. Indeed, Allah is swift in account. O you who have believed, persevere, endure, be patient, be ever vigilant, and fear Allah so that you will succeed and prosper.}
Jesus saves! ❤️
You never fell away from god, because he wasn’t there to begin with.
Jesus is he Truth, friend. I sought the truth for a while thought It seemed was going crazy for a while but Jesus saved me man he really is the Truth. Can I pray for you about anything?@@Silver77cyn
I'm not a fan of Morgan, but this was one of his more honest and validating interviews. It seems he was genuinely inquisitive and processing answers in an educational way
He knows he is over matched is wisdom and words.
He’s probably scared of Peterson
@@willjohnson62 I doubt that. I think he admires Professor Peterson’s intellect.
I noticed that too. He seems willing to learn something from Jordan. And has respect to Jordan’s intellect.

very important point to consider, thank you
This is how someone speaks when they are extremely close to the kingdom. Lord God guide this man to full faith in you to the point where he can define what it means to believe in you. Amen.
He definitely is in need of salvation
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
No such thing as religion. There can be a God, but he won't be stupid enough to prefer one religion over the other. It's how you live that's important
@RandEAdu2023 - this is also how someone speaks who is extremely far from the kingdom.
@@yipperdeyip How should we live?
I believe Jordan is on a journey still figuring out who God is, what he says he is, and what exists beyond our eyesight. And i’m relieved to know he’s growing spiritually. For obvious reasons he can’t be too vulnerable here
His God tour was terrible
He knows the answer, he just won't say it bc his handlers at CAA forbid him.
I see a lot of Christians offended that he did not explicitly say yes. Firstly, he knows that the motive behind the people who often ask him this question will not grow his faith in any way because they don't believe in God and don't want to believe but try to trap him with such questions. It's like when they asked Jesus are you really the son of God. I think JP handles the trap with wisdom. To me his answer is targeted at non-believers who have no intention to be inspired by his beliefs. So Christians shouldn't be offended that he wasn't explicit
You have the wisdom of God in you. 👌💙 Ping!!!
Perfect ❤. Peterson is smart enough to know the world and devil just want to sink him
You are right! I can see deep wisdom around his words.
IMO he doesn't believe in GOD like many smart people do and I believe him to be pretty smart... I think he is afraid to admit it because he will be condemned and judged to hell by religious people... mainly Christians... and he really doesn't want the hassle.
@@TimeFlyBy Yeah, he doesn't. To him "god" is metaphorical.
I can see in Piers’ face how much he enjoys talking to Jordan ❤ I love their interviews
I was just thinking that, it's nice to see.
By him not answering whether he believes in God or not he is basically saying, Anyone can say they believe but do they actually live like they believe in and fear God? So in his view its pointless to just ask if someone believes in God , cuz they might say yes , but live their daily lives doing things that are a sign of a rejection of God. Which means anyone can say they do but their hearts are far from him Mathew 15:8 So he is more focused on actually living in accordance to fearing God than simply answering the question.. Which that in itself answers the question
Well said
James 2:24 ... Peterson will make a good Catholic one day 😊
The biggest scam is to tell people they're sinful and there's a better place after death, but to be saved a spot they must make donations.
Even the devils believe in God. Believing in God's existence does nothing for you. Jesus is the game changer.
@@AtamMardesThe biggest scam is to tell people there is such thing as right and wrong and we as people should aspire to do well unto others? And to do otherwise results in negative consequences? That we somehow miraculously can think, speak, talk, and have a functioning brain, that there is a time before us and a time after us being here? That if i were to give you an explanation as to why we live on a spinning ball in space that miraculously popped into existence, itd be God, and the only rational religion that can be demonstrated is Christianity? Like cmon man
I think "Yes" would be the most hopeful and profound thing Mr. Peterson could ever say. Praise the Lord!
Not with words. He does it the correct way acting it out. “Not like the hypocrites crying out at the synagogues” Priests that have molested children also mouth the words “I accept Jesus as my savior”
I will be praying for Jordan to come to know the love of Christ🙏🏻
It seems like he is !
He definitely doesn't believe in the God of the Bible. If he did he would just say it. It is not complicated as he puts it.
@@shadouxg7150 he reads the Bible for a reason … you’re not a mind reader smart man
@@shadouxg7150_ he is humbly saying that he believes but due to his humility i have deciphered his message of unworthiness..
@@shadouxg7150he does
Jordan Peterson is a truth-seeker. So refreshing to see this. God bless all Truth-seekers !
The truth is there. The seekers keep looking. 🙏🏼🌈🕉
God and truth in the same sentence? Cool story
“I just don't see how 'seeking the truth' can go hand-in-hand with unquestioning faith” ... Author unknown
JP: " The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom." Knowledge + experience = wisdom while faith leads to excuseable ignorance.
The biggest scam is to tell people they're sinful and there's a better place after death, but to be saved a spot they must make donations.
I’m not afraid to say I believe in God and I know without a doubt that Jesus is the one and only way to God. We will all see this in the end. God bless everyone!
Jesus was sent to the Jews. He said so himself. He worshiped God and fell on his face in prayer. Have you read your book? None of his disciples worshiped him. Abraham didn’t worship Jesus or call to worship Him. They worshiped God. What happens to Abraham? Or Moses? They didn’t go though Jesus.
@@Pinkeye82517 The Old Testament prophecies the coming of the Messiah, Jesus. He wasn’t born during their time. They suggest that Old Testament saints who died went to the realm called “Abraham's bosom” (Luke 16:22-23) - a of holding place. believers were kept in that compartment of Hades and not brought into the heaven of heavens until Christ conquered death in His resurrection. I plead for everyone to please study the truth of God’s word. Salvation through Christ is the ONLY way. Luke 16:22-23 King James Version 22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; 23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
@@Pinkeye82517 The trinity poses as 1 singular God you idiot You know nothing about Christianity so backoff to your sand hole
@@Pinkeye82517guess you didn’t even listen to Jordan Petersons response. It’s a shame you worship the Islamic allah and that’s why the conversation went over your head My advice to you is to stop listening to dawah liars guys that have zero understanding of the biblical scriptures. For a start, all disciples worshipped him. All prophets also worshiped him. He was the one that sent all the prophets. That’s what Jesus said in the New Testament 🤦♂️ Jordan Peterson said he believes in the logos and anyone with a little tiny brain that knows 2nd temple literature would understand what Jordan was saying. The logos was the one that created the world, that communicated with all patriarch (from Adam to Malachi). Christians attribute the logos to Jesus but not all Jews in 2nd temple did Btw, the logos was called the Son of God. It’s a shame the Islamic allah came too late to understand the term “son of God” and how it was been used for Jesus. The Islamic allah thought the son of god meant biological son 😆 😂 Well, my friend, you’ve learnt something new that the Islamic allah never knew. And pls don’t bring up dawah scripts by saying there were lots of people called the son of god 🤦♂️. Look at the Deadsea scroll (4Q246), which is also a 2nd temple literature, it talks about the Son of God. This predates Christianity by over 100 years. Read the Jewish mysticism book (Zohar), it also talks about the son of God. I believe Jordan knows that the logos is Jesus but he doesn’t want to declare it for some reasons best to him 🤷♂️
@@Pinkeye82517I forgot to address your statement about Abraham and Moses As for Abraham, Jesus explicitly said he met with Abraham and Abraham worshipped him. Read John 8. The meeting of the 2 of them is recorded in Genesis especially genesis 18 - 22. Offcourse the Jewish interpretation was that it was the logos, who’s called God, that met with Abraham but we Christians believe Jesus is the logos. The church fathers all used Genesis 18 to debate the Jewish people and heretics during their time As for Moses, I literally died when I read your statement 😂 😂. Offcourse without a shadow of doubt, Moses interacted with the logos. It’s literally every where in exodus 😂. Just type church fathers commentary on Jesus and Moses. You will see 10000000 😂 🤣. Look up st irenaeus, st justn matyr etc. To be honest, we don’t even need to go that far. Jesus brothers (James and Jude), didn’t believe in Jesus before the crucifixion. They mocked him but after the death and resurrection they literally said he was the logos lol😂. Jude said, it was Jesus that took Moses and the Israelites out from Egypt. Mate, learn Christian theology from Christian’s and not dawah dudes 🤦♂️
A beautiful statement how people can be educated, cultured, believe in science and believe in God.
Believing God is not a private matter. It’s one that we should freely admit to whether it costs us in the flesh or not. I don’t try to convert others, but I can’t deny my faith. It is what God has given to me. The least I can do for him is represent him and acknowledge my belief.
“I think it’s the most private question you can ask someone.”-JP “Go therefore and make disciples…”-JC
Either you believe in God, and you simply answer "yes" or you don't. Matthew 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. Even if I like some things the guy says about morality and culture, God is not a respector of person. The standard is the same for every body. If you believe in Him, you must confess Him and give praises to Him before men, so that He would be feared and glorified by all. It's not about you trying to give a complicated and smart answer, it's about an opportunity to give glory to God while a lot of people are listening to you (if indeed you believe in Him)
@@YVANM well said 👏👏👏
@@YVANMJordan never explicitly denies God in this video in fact he mentions how he believes in what very well be the holy spirit. I see a man seeking and finding the truth as it tells you to do in the Bible. You are on the other hand are too busy pointing fingers at someone who is sincerely trying to find the answers and being humble and discrete during times when he is uncertain about addressing some of life's mysteries. I prefer an honest man over someone boasting their "faith" who may very well not be a true believer. You're gonna sit here and tell me a man who promotes others to take responsibility for their actions, life, and bear their daily suffering(HELLO, bearing your cross), big or small to reduce the amount of suffering for others and yourself in this world is not doing the work of God. I find your comment very misguided.
@@YVANM I knew that scripture existed. Every time person gets asked “do you believe in God,” it’s like someone should first read this scripture to him. I don’t think he believes in the bible god. I think he thinks there’s wisdom in it. I think he doesn’t want to upset certain groups and so answers the way he does.
@@d_e_a_n I think so too
Listening to Jordan speaking the words of wisdom about the most important subjects that have and will forever be talked about is truly a blessing to listen to. Thank you dr Jordan Peterson
i love the part where he takes himself above Jesus :) who is in his mind probably some cartoonlike character
@@hrabmvto me it is.
@@playlistschannel2643 well that does not change the reality of things that you are his creature and he is the creator....creativity comes from LOVE. but every creature thinks he/she is GOD. That is one of the evidence of God existence. We are created at his image. Also we have free will.......to love others or ourselves....and thats godlike situation where even God himself can not do anything if we choose not to love him back and deny historical evidence of Jesus living in this world 2000 y ago. that is stupidity par exelance...since there are artefacts.....researched by science. also if you read what Jesus teaches...you can understand no human ever could have said all that. You can see through Godswisdom...thats far greater than any man could think of: love your neighbours LIKE yourself
@@hrabmv I can go on and on about this but that wont do either of us any good. You believe, i dont.
@@playlistschannel2643 :) true you can not give any logical reason to even doubt what i said so that would be very boring and empty talk on your side unless you can tell me that you are not a creature :)
Best interview by Piers. He asks a question and waits for the full reply. Allows the speaker to express himself. Interesting answers by JP. Very intelligent and genuine man, coming to grips with the big questions in life.
In 1997, while living at 5412 berks street in Philadelphia with my elder sister, one day I left the apartment on foot to a dollar store to buy two meatball platters with spaghetti that the store sold for a dollar. I went into the dollar store and made the purchase. As I was done paying for the things I bought, I headed for the exit door. On my way to the exit door, a white lady was ahead of me to the exit door who had likewise purchased some items from the store. As I headed home on foot, she was going in my direction and in front. Suddenly, she dropped a small black wallet but kept on walking not realizing the wallet was not with her. People walking on the street were coming from behind and in front of us. Having realized this, I felt that if I walked over the wallet, the next person behind or in front coming my way that happens to see the wallet, could pick it up and decide not to return it to the rightful owner. Furthermore, I thought that if she got home and realized the wallet was not with her, she would be distraught depending on the content of the wallet. So I picked up the wallet and ran after her, yelling mam, mam. She turned around and I handed the wallet to her saying, “Mam you dropped this”. After collecting the wallet from me, she asked me a question by saying, “Who taught you how to do this? I said to her “JESUS CHRIST”. Then she said, “Thank you”, turned around, and went her way. As soon as she turned around and kept walking, a strong wind like a tornado came down from heaven and encircled me where I stood, and while in the midst of the whirlwind, it felt like someone was giving me the hug of a lifetime with tremendous peace. The peace was indescribable. Words would do it no justice. The wind was not destructive in nature but strong and gentle. People walking by did not realize what was happening because it was spiritual and only visible to me that day. Enveloped by the whirlwind, I felt like staying there forever because it felt glorious, so peaceful and full of such love indescribable that it was mind blowing as it happened. Next, the glorious Father from the excellent glory spoke out of the whirlwind with these words, “I AM WELL PLEASED BECAUSE YOU GLORIFIED MY SON JESUS CHRIST”. As soon as God the Father spoke out of the whirlwind these words, He instantly filled my heart with indescribable joy. The whirlwind remained with me for about 16 to 17 seconds after I heard those words with the arms of the Father in the whirlwind wrapped around me and then gently it dissipated from the scene and went up to heaven. This happened in broad daylight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 11a.m near city line avenue in Philadelphia. After this supernatural experience, I have never doubted the reality of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost as clearly presented in the Holy Scriptures.
wow , He who has seen the Son has seen the Father . God bless you for honouring His Son
You say you believe. You do well. However, even the demons believe and they tremble at his name
Couldn’t help but think “that’s tellin’ em kid” 😂 Three Stooges

@@Bi-polarBear 😂
You do realize this is metaphorical? Demons in this context are false idols.
@@mcgarry2588 no one said anything about demons being atheists lol. Demons do not exist.
The answer is the Stoics. Marcus Aurelius said 'Follow virtue. If there are just gods, they will welcome you even though you did not worship them. If there are unjust gods, they are not worth your worship. If there are no gods you will die knowing that you have lived a good life that will live on in the memories of those you love.'
It's answers nothing
What the hell is a “good life” if there is no God. Only opinions and subjective morality.
I mean that’s just Marcus Aurelius opinion lol but Jordan had a much more scientific view on the matter
That's the easy answer to keep telling yourself. Eventually you will be led to the truth of God.
Beautiful phrase mate
I love Jordan talking about prayer at the end. Truly it’s a yielding of ourselves to God, to His wisdom; putting Him on the throne rather than ourselves.
If he did good to you with his work, and you're a believer, pray for him, he's facing many struggles. Faith grows in a beautiful, different and unique way in every individual. He needs all the faith and prayers he can get because the world is against him and we need him.
The Creator of everything, The All-Knowing The Wise, Said: {O people of the Scripture Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor say of God aught but the truth. The Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, was no more than a Messenger of God and God's Word, which God bestowed on Mary and a spirit created by God; so believe in God and His Messengers. Say not: "Three (trinity)!" Cease! it is better for you. For God is the only One God, glory be to Him Far Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And God is All-Sufficient as a Disposer of affairs. The Messiah will never be proud to reject to be a slave to God, nor the angels who are near to God. And whosoever rejects God's worship and is proud, then God will gather them all together unto Himself. So, as for those who believed and did deeds of righteousness, God will give them their due rewards - and more out of His Bounty. But for those who refused God's worship and were proud, God will punish them with painful torment. And they will not find for themselves besides God any protector or helper. O mankind! Verily, there has come to you a convincing proof from your Lord; and We sent down to you a manifesting light (Quran). }
Faith is for the gullible
My Lord has commanded uprightness and dedication to Him alone in worship, calling upon Him with sincere devotion. Just as God first brought you into being, you will be brought to life again. Some are guided, while others are destined to stray. They have taken devils as their masters instead of God, thinking they are rightly guided.@@FactStorm
{The only true believers in God's revelation are those who when it is recited to them fall into prostration, glorify their Lord's praises and are not arrogant. They abandon their beds, invoking their Lord with hope and fear, and donate from what We have provided for them. No soul can imagine what delights are kept in store for them as a reward for what they used to do. Is the one who is a believer equal before God to the rebellious one? They are not equal! As for those who believe and do good, they will have the Gardens of Eternal Residence as an accommodation for what they used to do. But as for those who are rebellious, the Fire will be their home. Whenever they try to escape from it, they will be forced back into it and told, Taste the Fire’s torment, which you used to deny.}
{No one disputes the signs of God except the disbelievers, so do not be deceived by their prosperity throughout the land. Before them, the people of Noah denied it, as did enemy forces afterwards. Every community plotted against its prophet to seize him, and argued in falsehood, to discredit the truth with it. So I seized them. And how was My punishment? And so your Lord’s decree has been proven true against the disbelievers, that they will be the inmates of the Fire. Those who carry the Throne and those around it glorify the praises of their Lord, have faith in Him, and seek forgiveness for the believers, Saying: “Our Lord, You encompass everything in mercy and knowledge. So forgive those who repent and follow Your Way, and protect them from the torment of the Hellfire. Our Lord, Admit them into the Gardens of Eternity which You have promised them, along with the righteous among their parents, spouses, and descendants. You are truly the Almighty, All-Wise, and protect them from evil deeds. For whoever You protect from the evil of their deeds on that Day will have been shown Your mercy. That is the ultimate triumph.”}
Millions will potentially accept Christ when he does. That’s precisely why we need to continually Pray for our brother!!!
When he does..?
People will accept Christ when the Spirit of God calls them effectually and only then. Jordan may at some point become a vessel of God created for spreading the gospel but it will always be the work of God that saves
Take heed how you hear, Luke 8. Behold now is the accepted time, 2nd Corinthians 6. Today is accepted time, today is the day of salvation. Harden not your hearts. Hebrews chapter 3. Jesus marveled at their unbelief, Mark chapter 6. Drop the false narratives. God has already given his Proclamation to all the ends of the Earth that has reconciled the world unto himself. Now he's beseeching humanity to be reconciled to him. It's up to the person to believe because God has already said it is.

John 8:56-59 Then saith He to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold My hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into My side: and be not faithless, but believing. And Thomas answered and said unto Him, My Lord and my GOD. John 20:27-28 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon GOD, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. Acts 7:59 In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with GOD, and the WORD was GOD. The same was in the beginning with GOD. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not... 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 1:1-5, 14 For in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the GODHEAD bodily. Colossians 2:9 I and My Father are ONE. John 10:30 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his Redeemer the LORD of hosts; I Am the First, and I am the Last; and beside Me there is no GOD. Isaiah 44:6 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from Him which IS, and which WAS, and which is TO COME; and from the seven Spirits which are before His throne Revelation 1:4 I Am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which IS, and which WAS, and which is TO COME, the ALMIGHTY. Revelation 1:8 I AM Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the First and the Last. Revelation 22:13
@@Notsoquick i don't understand your motive behind this question my statement is clear and true. Jesus Christ IS the ONLY way of Salvation. John 14:6. KJV Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Amen 🙏✝️ There is no time left prophecy is being fulfilled in front of our eyes He is coming back soon, do not leave the most important decision of your life your next breath is not guaranteed. NOW IS THE TIME OF SALVATION. 🙏✝️
@@pruebarratt3085 yes he is the way to reach to God. They are not the same thing.
Two experiences in my youth convinced me there is a God. At that time, I took up rock climbing (that was back in 1971). Therewere times when I thought there was a very real chance of dying. That closeness to death has a pretty strong impact on how you view the universe and your place in it. The other experience was getting my degree in Medical Microbiology (during the same period). Getting educated on the complexities of life was quite a an experience as well.
All fine and dandy stuff, but I’m still praying for the day that the Holy Spirit will enter Jordan Peterson. I’m still waiting for the day where he will plainly state in clear words, “I confess Jesus Christ as my personal savior and declare him God.” Receive Jesus Christ today, Dr. Peterson. Amen.
He answered the question perfectly. If we objectively look at the amount of lives that Jordan has impacted then this is the fruit from a man of god
what god?
Why not God?
Jordan is all about marketing. Knowing that Christians listen and hope for a "confession of faith" he keeps the carrot on the stick and sells millions of books. He teases relentlessly- oftentimes with tears in his eyes - about his belief in God but falls short of coming out of the spiritual closet. But he is not a Christian. Jesus said that if you will not confess me before men then I will not confess you before the Father. I love and respect him and have been enlightened and encouraged psychologically and philosophically by him. On the other hand I understand also that Jesus said not cast your pearls before swine lest they trample them under their feet and devour you. Perhaps his statement "it's nobody's business" is his way of sidestepping the confrontation altogether.
He sees the Bible and topic of God at large through the lense of the order and chaos framework that’s he’s been working on his whole life. JP does not literally believe in hell but rather suffering from poor decision making. He doesn’t literally believe in God either. He’s a bit of a grifter and I lost a ton of respect for him when he started pandering to Christians.
@@ProudGh-dc4sl Because some value truth, which is only reliably known by evidence, which nobody has of any god (God or otherwise). Those people end up non-believers. They end up being honest: matching their belief to evidence.
I will start praying for Jordan Peterson🙏I genuinely like this guy, he’s almost there
He will get there 🙂
Almost where? :D
Exactly. Almost where?
He is Christian than you can imagine.
Back when I was still confused by my own childhood muddled religious indoctrination, in 2006 I started posting on Topix forums … debating with those of many other systems of so-labeled “spiritual” beliefs. During the debates, others kept insulting each other and me with that negative word "cult." When I finally agreed that maybe we were all in cults and just didn't realize it because we were blinded by our own personal ideologies ... others adamantly disagreed, as they all wanted to believe that their own personal indoctrinations were based on literal truth, and that only others suffered from cultish systems of belief. After three years of that mud-slinging banter … in 2009, at age 70, I left all stories of the existence of a creator behind, and now accept Stephen Hawking’s theory, that the universe in one form of another always existed … no creator … no plan … and that suffering of all forms of life … was … and is … natural. I'm 84 years of age, and yes, I still worry at times about the suffering of life on earth ... but I most certainly don't worry about suffering in an afterlife ... because I now believe that it's as possible that human animals have afterlives, as it is possible that goats, or dogs or cats, or crocodiles, or mosquitoes, or viruses ... or any other forms of life ... have soul or spiritual afterlives.
A weekly joint podcast between these guys would be so awesome
Good morning from a French man. Dr Jordan Peterson is extremely smart and humble. So inspiring. Thanks also to Piers Morgan for promoting and embodying free speech and good faith in our time (even if I often disagree with him). Bonne année !
Props to Morgan for forcing it out of him!
He should not of had to if JP has indeed encountered the GOD of the Bible, Basically JP was a Coward.
No, study how Jesus sidestepped the questions and traps of the pharisees that simply wanted to force him into a corner and project their own meanings and accusations onto him. JP has obviously studied that and is acting it out as well. He resists being put in someone else's box or someone else's traps. And I don't blame him. We may not have actual pharisees as a sect today, and JP isn't Jesus by any stretch, but there are PLENTY of "snakes, vipers, and whitewashed tombs full of fake righteousness and dead men's bones," to summarize statements of Jesus and John.
@artarmendariz9555 you think you're smarter than jp? If you you had a fraction of his insight you'd understand that he has "encountered" the God of the Bible way more than most and maybe not as intimately as any of the great mystics and saints, but he has a grasp on it that is orders of magnitude greater than Dawkins et al as a consequence his willingness and capacity to authentically examine his own humanity within the context of not only our cultural and historical milieu, but also with the deepest appreciation of our psychobiological inheritance, certainly to a depth greater than anyone else in the public sphere; consequently he understands the human condition that is orders of magnitude greater too. We should be grateful that there's someone of his intellectual calibre in the public sphere that is as transparent and conscientious as he is. What seems to transpire from your comment is that you are making the grave error (to your moral and existential peril) of conflating the God of the Bible with an external cartoon like entity that is only manifest in a materialistic sense as opposed to what dwells within to a depth that requires a level of introspection that allows for craniums to be not in the domain of rectal orifices, but that both craniums and levels of introspection reside in humility and authentic intent. Do yourself a favour and think for your *self* (truly for *your self* ) instead of parroting a sophistic narrative that sounds clever on the most superficial of perspectives but is absolutely totally lacking in wisdom as the aforementioned cartoon.
What are you talking about? Did you watch the video? Or just not understand it lol
@@Jake-dx8ptthis was a sarcastic comment, I believe
Piers: do you believe in God? Jordan: proceeds to recite the entire encyclopedia britacana
Dr. Peterson: What do you mean by believe? The WORD of GOD: Fear not, only believe. JP: Is it a factual question like a scientific theory? Jesus Christ: I Am the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE, no one comes to the Father, but by me. The Apostle Paul spoke of men constantly searching, never coming to the truth. Pray for Dr. Peterson and his followers, he is so close to the Kingdom.
No such encyclopaedia
He’s just really smart, keep up
Perhaps you can answer this question. Why is there something rather than nothing?
@@vecumex9466 "I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me... Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I Am... I Am the Bread of Life: he that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst... I Am the Door: by Me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture... Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it... I Am the Good Shepherd: the Good shepherd giveth His life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. I Am the Good Shepherd, and know My sheep, and Am known of Mine. As the Father knoweth Me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down My life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear My voice; and there shall be one fold, and one Shepherd. Therefore doth My Father love Me, because I lay down My life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of My Father... My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand. My Father, which gave them Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father's hand. I and My Father are One... I Am the Resurrection, and the Life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. Believest thou this?.. I Am the Light of the world: he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of life... And this is the condemnation, that Light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than Light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the Light, neither cometh to the Light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the Light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God... Ye must be born again... Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of Water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit... If ye believe not that I Am He, ye shall die in your sins... If any man come to Me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after Me, cannot be My disciple... Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn Him to death, And shall deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify Him: and the third day He shall rise again... And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God... All that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me; and him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out... No man can come to Me, except the Father which hath sent Me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto Me... Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I Am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls... Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto Me, except it were given unto him of My Father... As thou hast given Him power over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given Him... And this is the will of Him that sent Me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on Him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day... Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also... Have ye not read, that He which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder... Hearken unto Me every one of you, and understand: There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear... Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats? That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man... Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire... Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart... For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?.. Repent ye, and believe the Gospel...I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish... I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I Am He, ye shall die in your sins... I Am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I Am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death... I Am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last... I Am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." - The Lord Jesus Christ

@AtamMardes that's not the facts at all. Get in the bible and stop watching false teachers
I have learned so much from your discussions Dr. Peterson and I am glad that you are feeling well now. I heard you say recently that you are afraid of dying at times. I think that if you are a Christian you will lose your fear of death, at least I have found that true personally, and I also believe that there is a literal hell, other than the fact that we make hell for ourselves at times, right here and now in our lives. I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and when I heard the doctor tell me his diagnosis, I did think of the consequences of dying, but I was not worried or stressed out because I knew where I was going when I died. I have fears about other things, like speaking before a crowd of people.
My brother Jordan I was always intrigued with him and now that he knows the truth I’m so happy for him and so many others that listen to him

Jordan Peterson does a good job at intellectualising scripture in a way that opens a door for modern people but is clearly suffering because in this process his denying faith for the sake of intellectualising it. He admitted that he doesn’t go farther than what he can prove in his mind but for him 2 have peace he needs to have faith
I've thought about this a lot. On one hand, this approach to religion opens the door to secular intellectuals to engage with such religion and exploring its teachings without necessarily having to believe in the supernatural. However, as it remains secular nonetheless, I wonder if this approach is a sufficient replacement for genuine faith, broadly speaking, and what consequences it could have on the long run.
I agree 👍 a
I think he's not a Christian yet. He uses Bible stories as symbols and metaphors to describe temporal matters, but Christianity is mainly about atemporal matters, eternal matters, in a simple, plain use of the word eternal, meaning out of this life things, meaning the state after death. He doesn't want to go there, so I think he hasn't put his eternal destiny in the hands of Christ as a Saviour from the wrath to come, and savior and wrath are literal not metaphorical or symbolical. He doesn't think that there's is a literal hell waiting for the unrepentant sinners so it seems that he doesn't think that he needs salvation from that. Everyone has his own path in life, I hope his path takes him to the the feet of the historical Christ, the God-man and he can ask for literal forgiveness and literal reconciliation
He is doing what God wants him to do for now. He is planting seeds in millions of minds and that is enough for now. The world has become a cold, sad, hostile place, Jordan is bringing a voice to the question. Where is the light? You can not know the way and still point to the Word of God which is the actual way. Somehow Jordan manages to do that, but with many extra words 😂 PEACE 🕊
@@guilleagudelo777 Agreed. I wouldn't identify him as "saved" but, certainly, a man well worth praying for. He upholds Biblical principles and shows no disrespect to anything in the Bible of which he knows. I loved the bit at the end.

The Creator of everything, The All-Knowing The Wise, Said: {O people of the Scripture Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor say of God aught but the truth. The Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, was no more than a Messenger of God and God's Word, which God bestowed on Mary and a spirit created by God; so believe in God and His Messengers. Say not: "Three (trinity)!" Cease! it is better for you. For God is the only One God, glory be to Him Far Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And God is All-Sufficient as a Disposer of affairs. The Messiah will never be proud to reject to be a slave to God, nor the angels who are near to God. And whosoever rejects God's worship and is proud, then God will gather them all together unto Himself. So, as for those who believed and did deeds of righteousness, God will give them their due rewards - and more out of His Bounty. But for those who refused God's worship and were proud, God will punish them with painful torment. And they will not find for themselves besides God any protector or helper. O mankind! Verily, there has come to you a convincing proof from your Lord; and We sent down to you a manifesting light (Quran). }
{Those who have exceeded the limits against their souls, Do not lose hope in God's mercy, for God certainly forgives all sins, God is indeed the All-Forgiving, Most Merciful. Turn to your Lord, and submit to Him before the punishment reaches you, then you will not be helped. Follow the best of what has been revealed to you from your Lord, before the punishment takes you by surprise while you are unaware.}
Particularly awesome questions by Piers, listen carefully from 3:04 to 3:26 Quick, concise, simple, yet powerful! Well done, friend!✨
I am proud to beleive in God, whats wrong with admitting it?
Exactly....
Not sure why it's something to be proud of? 😂
What a lot of people don't understand is the way he looks at it is very respectable.. he basically believes anyone can SAY they believe in God but what do their fruits tell you? Do they truly believe and fear God? Do you truly believe in God if you beat up your wife ? Cuz there are those that say they do, do you believe in God if you take advantage of people and lie to them, basically disrespecting those made in the image of God? So he is saying he could easily say he believes, but he fears God enough that he believes how you live your life will truly tell if you truly fear and believe in God , and if you want the answer to the question, look at the fruits of how he approaches life
"It's not a well-posed question." This is fucking insane. He knows Piers means some classical Western definition: all powerful, all knowing, noncorporeal spirit. He doesn't want to alienate his devotees. Neoliberal gospel of masculinity. Neoliberal religion. Sell books, sell masculinity, discipline his followers.
This is what shady people do, they will pretend to be about something but won’t flat out saying , that’s how deceivers work. Idk about him. Never trust someone who can’t flat out say they believe God is real and who their god might be
Wow, that was amazing! These two should have a podcast together where they discuss the whole of existence with each other, and then both Inteview guests. We would soon get to some real sound truths. Brilliant! Xx
So many people trying to be knowledgeable about God but they’re still blind because they’re not believing what’s written in the bible
It’s so fitting that he titled his book “We Who Wrestle With God”.
I’m not used to Jordan playing silly games. What is he afraid of saying? I KNOW God lives.
Alright, _you_ know. Good for you.
@@TheGerogero Thank for your generous approval. I do not say it as a dig, only as a willingness to express what is a simple statement of fact for most believers. This is rather uncharacteristic for Jordan. One either knows there is a God, or doesn’t. Jordan seems reluctant to say, so it raises questions, does it not? The book of Matthew says the following, in Matthew Chapter 13. “And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them.” 14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Further, He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.” Thank for your generous approval.

He's not playing games, he's like this about any serious question, and the more the serious the question, the more granular the answer. He's not playing coy, it's just how he is. The way he considers it, it would be worse sin for him to say he does believe in God if he doesn't really mean it, and if he's only 98% of the way there, he's not 100% there. Faith is a lifelong journey. If you got there sooner then you are blessed, but it's a big struggle for people who have trudged through the swamp of materialism for their entire lives. Not everyone gets their own personal theophany. Just pray for the man and let him make his journey.
@@seranonable thank you, your explanation sounds very reasonable and I’ll have to pay closer attention to the topics he discusses.
He knows that he'll lose all his credibility if he says he believes in God
Hell and heaven are not a place because they are realities where time and space does not exist. But they exist in that other realm. Heaven is to be in eternal presence of God. Hell is to be in eternal absence of God.
One of my favorite books about Heaven, Purgatory, and Hell is an allegorical novel by CS Lewis and is called The Great Divorce.
The way that is worded, Earth is hell.
Heaven is only a part-time place for children of God. Ultimately, the Earth will be returned to perfection, and children of God will live perfectly on the then perfect planet. But absolutely, in the presence of, and praising to, God.
@ohmightywez Purgatory is not in the bible it's just another add on by the catholic church. All religions are of the devil. Being a Christian is not a religion. Christian literally means Christ follower. Jesus said "Follow me" not follow religion. Jesus is the ONLY way. Catholic Priests and other religions will lead you to hell.
Hell isnt the absence of God. God is everywhere and fills all things. Christ defeated death by death. Hell is being in the presense of God, Who is love, Who is a consuming fire, and HATING him. Hating Gods love is hell. Heaven is being in that same presense but loving God by walking in his light during your life.
the last comment by Peterson on what to pray for is GOLD
Our words have creative power. We speak and createjust like God did🙏🏾✨
““Everyone who acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven.” Matthew 10:32-33 NLT Peterson needs to read the New Testament
if denying is by saying words, maybe he should, but if denying and acknowledging is by taking Action, i think he's more than fine.. way better than milliions of those who declair their belief proudly, or me!
Give him time, he only just finished Exodus. He'll get there haha
I wonder if you even understand this statement?
I would say half the Christians in America say they "believe" in God, but their motives and desires say otherwise. From my perspective, that is the denial of God's existence. God wants a relationship with his creation, and that is only possible if you live out God's will. Works and claiming that you believe in God is a transactional God, and that person will never experience God's presence. 7:21-23 Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?
If the Word is God, then he has already acknowledged what he believes. A demon believes in God but will the demon live out the will of God? By the way, If the Word is God then JP has already acknowledged the existence of God
Prayer: "What bloody stupid thing do I continue to do that's making my life more miserable than it has to be, and everyone else's life around me, that I could give up, that I would give up? And you have to really want the answer. So you open yourself up in humility to a revelation. You'll get an answer. It won't be one you want. That's how you'll know it's true. But if you act on it then your life will improve. And that's a proper prayer."
“For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.” Genesis 3:5
That prayer is profound❤ Its repentance w. a willingness to amend our behavior

I love that Dr Peterson feels it is private that he believes in God. He does, he's just so tremendously humble before the Lord and the complexity that comes with the question. By not answering, he is making all of us take the question inwardly and very serious. He's made me think about what, why and how so much more regarding our Creator. Thank you for this interview, God is Good! ; )
He's actually directly going against God's word by not specifically admitting his love for God and Jesus Christ openly without complication
the wonder of God
@@Jon--Jones That is exactly why he doesnt directly answers the question and why he asks piers to specify what he meant by the word Believe . Everyone has a different definition of what it means to be a believer, catholics would say that he is not a believer because he doesnt fully commit to god. My critic to the catholic church would be that I havent met any single catholic who has read the entire bible, not a single one. So in some sense Jordan is more of a believer than any catholic or christian i have met. Plus most catholics believe that you can only talk with god through the church or through a priest which doesnt appear in the bible. Positions in the church as they currently are dont appear in the bible as well . The popacy doesnt appear in the bible and many other things christians and catholics do dont appear in the bible. That is simply because they dont read it. They worship the wrong gods.
"I love IT that Dr Peterson ...". You have to have an "it" after "I love". Otherwise it's not an English sentence.
@@lawrence1318 Good to know that you are learning the language but, both sentences are correct. "I love it that Dr. Peterson..." "I love that Jordan Peterson..."

{O people of the Scripture Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor say of God aught but the truth. The Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, was no more than a Messenger of God and God's Word, which God bestowed on Mary and a spirit created by God; so believe in God and His Messengers. Say not: "Three (trinity)'' Cease, it is better for you. For God is the only One God, glory be to Him Far Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And God is All-Sufficient as a Disposer of affairs. The Messiah will never be arrogant to reject to be a slave to God, nor the angels who are near to God. And whosoever rejects God's worship and is arrogant, then God will gather them all together unto Himself. So, as for those who believed and did deeds of righteousness, God will give them their due rewards - and more out of His Bounty. But for those who refused God's worship and were arrogant, God will punish them with painful torment. And they will not find for themselves besides God any protector or helper.}
Absolutely incredible!.. The truth shall set you free. Free meaning the lies that tie you to the world. And I am in the world but not of the world. A God fearing man. Jordan you have been chosen by God, He has bestowed Grace upon you in abundance!
He is getting there ----- Jeremiah 29:13 - "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."
I am a Peterson fan, but I don't believe his getting there. It seems that Peterson's intellect is seeking rather to re-package and advance a novel expression of psychobabble. He has no doubt spent untold hours studying and contemplating the scriptures, but his intellect has concluded that Jesus Christ is merely an archetype of truth. He has yet to conclude that he believes that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is a historical fact. He has been questioned directly on this and goes only so far as to say that if that were true it would change everything, but that he really doesn't know. In context, he acted as though the literal resurrection were a novel proposition. But a plain reading of the gospel accounts clearly teaches that Jesus really did rise from the dead - they leave no room for Christ merely being an archetype of truth. If he is seeking truth, he is on a tangent that is taking him far from it.
All religions spring from the same truth.
Most others say you have to do good things to get in. JESUS says I know you cant be Perfect and pay that price that is why HE had to come out of Love. We owed a huge Debt we could not pay. There is a Reason JESUS is the most documented figure way back then. There is a reason there are more Bibles sold then any book ever. Because when we search for real truth that is where we are lead. Its easy to doubt JESUS because our flesh loves the world we Love sin before GOD I was a mess it was amazing though once Born again most of those things disgusted me right before I loved them. When we are born again we start Loving what GOD Loves and hating what HE hates yes we will fail because the flesh and the Spirit battle constantly but those actually born again start walking like JESUS and they Love it. Trust me didnt write all of this so we could see who is right or what not I dont pride like that I just posted all of this cause I Love you and the rest and want you to make it to Heaven. Why not just Test JESUS and see if HE is who HE says HE is JESUS says SEEK ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART and you will find ME. Sorry went on bit long I am not much for writing In school it was my worse I still dont know why cause all the other subjects were pretty easy I guess we all have one stinky subject. @@kevinstreet220
Dr JP, you are awesome! Thanks Piers for bringing such wonderful conversations to us...I really appreciate the way you listen to Dr P and let him speak...great interviewing style with amazing guest! Thanks.
The power of 2 is amazing. 2 Brilliants definitely make you sit up and listen. Piers and Dr Jordan, in this conversation, were both brilliant in their own right. In my opinion of course.
Bless you Jordan, I would pray to God and let Him answer through me.
The biggest scam is to tell people they're sinful and there's a better place after death, but to be saved a spot they must make donations.
The Bible condemns such a belief & practice. The Bible teaches that people who say & do that are condemned to hell.
@@Matthew-307 Can you show me a single Bible verse that explicitly condemns slavery as immoral and call for abolishing slavery?
@@Matthew-307 I can show you Bible verses explicitly indicate how to buy, how to sell, how to beat the slaves, and not to treat relatives the way slaves are treated. But can you show me a single Bible verse that explicitly condemns slavery as immoral and call for abolishing slavery?
@@Matthew-307 Jesus & authors of Bible believed slavery is moral & even suggested how to buy, sell & beat the slaves, and not to treat relatives the way slaves are treated. Not a single Bible verse suggests that slavery is immoral & should be abolished.
@@Matthew-307 The sin-sacrifice-resurrection story implies a superstitious God who values blood-sacrifice. Obviously the superstitious early folks, who valued blood sacrifice, created the God of the Bible in their own image.
“I believe in one God, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.”
I've been having out-of-the-body experiences since 1997 ,i learned to achieve that state of awareness, i start when awake, slowly let myself relax towards sleep but remain awake, aware of what I'm feeling and thinking, the scariest experiences were the ones where I could not sense my physical body, I would be somewhere similar to a neighborhood in NYC, in awe touching houses , walking along streets, and then the fear of death would grow in me , scared that my body maybe dead, I would then close my eyes and focus on moving a physical foot, instantly i would feel my bed and my foot slightly moving, if my body died i might not be able to tell.
This may be “de-realization” and or “de-personalization”. I experience this at times, and it can be scary and abnormal at times. It is more common in people who have smoked a lot of weed, experienced a-lot of anxiety, and/or have underlining mental health issues including OCD. Do some research, it might give you some peace or reassurance. God bless you❤️
Never has ever been a time for this ...yes prayer clean speech up safety no violence clean speech common sense. Yes our man people love Jordan Peterson yes sound solid mind. Satire conflict is free speech .
The time when Piers didn’t interrupt. Because Jordan is spitting facts
A person who believes in God would never be allowed by their conscience to reply anything other than a firm Yes.
You mean "a person who believes in God the way that I do".
There are two kinds of believes. Head belief and heart belief. "You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe-and shudder!" James 2:18. The heart belief is only between individual and God know. My pastor once said: I don't even know if my congregation are Christian are not. I can only guess because of their fruits. At the end of the day, everyone conviction is unique and salvation is personal. That being said, Matthew 10:32 - 33 states "Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven." But so far, he hasn't deny Christian God. All in all, i think Jordan Peterson is on a journey to find the Divine Being and Christian God is so far get his most attention. We see many so called *devoted* former Christian making video on deconstruction their faith claiming they have the *real* religious experience at early years.
correct, but, remember, he's wearing the hat of a clinical psychologist...
I'm convinced that "I'm terrified that they might be" is taken from Dawkin's answer at the Oxford Union ten years ago. There's no way he hasn't watched that.
What a beautiful prayer it is to know that by his image and likeness we still belong to the spirit of identity in the Integrity of his image and likeness pursuing truth in the spirit of what we presume to think that we want to Aspire to
❤ love this man's views and answering tough and complex questions; go forth in God's strength and wisdom, friend
The All-Knowing, The Wise, The Creator of Everything Said: {Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are signs for the wise. Who remember Allah while standing or sitting or [resting] on their sides and give thought to the creation of the heavens and the earth, [saying], "Our Lord, You did not create this aimlessly; exalted are You [above such a thing]; then protect us from the punishment of the Fire. Our Lord, indeed whoever You admit to the Fire - You have disgraced him, and there are no helpers for the wrongdoers. Our Lord, indeed we have heard a caller calling to faith, [saying], 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed. Our Lord, so forgive us our sins and remove from us our misdeeds and cause us to die with the righteous. Our Lord, grant us what You promised us through Your messengers and do not disgrace us on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed, You do not fail in [Your] promise." And their Lord responded to them, "Never will I allow to be lost the work of [any] worker among you, whether male or female; you are of one another. So those who emigrated or were evicted from their homes or were harmed in My cause or fought or were killed - I will surely remove from them their misdeeds, and I will surely admit them to gardens beneath which rivers flow as reward from Allah, and Allah has with Him the best reward." Be not deceived by the [mercantilistic] wanderings of the unbelievers, on earth. Because it is a transitory enjoyment, and its abode will be hell. What a dismal abode. But those who feared their Lord will have gardens beneath which rivers flow, abiding eternally therein, as accommodation from Allah. And that which is with Allah is best for the righteous. And indeed, among the People of the Scripture are those who believe in Allah and what was revealed to you [O Mohammed, The Messenger of Allah] and what was revealed to them [Jews & Christians], [being] humbly submissive to Allah. They do not exchange the verses of Allah for a small price. Those will have their reward with their Lord. Indeed, Allah is swift in account. O you who have believed, persevere, endure, be patient, be ever vigilant, and fear Allah so that you will succeed and prosper.}
If you truly fear God, you truly believe
There's only one God to fear, and the only way to Him is through Christ. Jordan doesn't believe this, but let's pray that he gets to this point on his journey.
Amen brother!

@@larrymondello7488 I would NEVER honor some being that I fear, that's just weird.
Piers, you often bring very good interviews. Tks. God bless.
Years ago I witnessed a wonderful black preacher explain creation. He said,"God took a hand full of nothing, threw it out into nowhere, and told it to stay there."
Matthew 10:32-33 “Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven." I thought you was a real one JP 😔
Jordan doesn't have to say he believes in God, that's his business...but his actions, conduct and respect show he does.
Ghandi did a lot of God too.
So do you think atheists are incapable of conducting themselves well and being respectful?
That, exactly, was, one of the points he elucidated.
if Ghandi didnt trust in the blood of Jesus for salvation, then despite his "good works" (which doesn't compare to Jesus' good works) then unfort he's in hell.@@Adam_A_Christian
I love his honesty and humility
Love when. Jordan said it's always better to live like God does exist 😊
Amazing responses Jordan! Thanks to the show host for bringing on this man, to share his slice of; the way, the truth and the life. Jordan has a double blessing in wisdom, not an easy blessing to receive, and even more difficult to share. Hold fast to the truth , and lean not on your own understanding, but trust in the LORD your God with all your heart. Bless You All!
JP has yet to state that he believes that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is a historical fact. He has been questioned on this and goes only so far as to say that if that were true it would change everything, but that he really doesn't know. Therefore, he most certainly is not a Christian. The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ is the most fundamental and essential tenant of the faith. No bodily resurrection = no belief in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
What was so amazing exactly? He couldn't answer a simple question and twist and turn running around bushes
Ever seen a tree flex it's branches. The ones that flex don't break...
God bless you, Jordan, abundantly
Dr. Peterson surprised me in a positive way. Him being a clinical psychologist and a recent follower of Jesus is a necessary combination for any man, especially for someone who wants to understand and help other people. God bless him and all mankind.
I'm so proud of MR. JP continue with your walk with God. He will fight beside you. 🙏
I've been thinking on this and researching for over 3 decades now. This man says the same truth I have found so far.
And wisdom shall increase.... But, men will NOT come to the knowledge of TRUTH.... This man is going in intellectual circles... searching his own internal and personal wisdom, and totally missing TRUTH. This is the perfect demonstration of the term 'lost'.... not being able to find your way home. Not being able to find the answer. THINKING AND RESEARCH AND HUMAN UNDERSTANDING HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH TRUTH. GOD IS NOT LIMITED TO THE MINSCULE AND MEANINGLESS BLOB OF GRAY MATTER IN OUR HEADS. The man states that he can not think on, and will not speak to, things that are beyond his human 'understanding'. The limits of his intellect and knowledge. To find GOD, one must not lean unto their own understanding. The supposition that 'god' is something within us that connects us to the bigger existence of the universe. That, my friend, is saying that WE ARE AS GODS.. THAT IS THE ORIGINAL SIN THAT RESULTS IN DEATH. Peterson is right about one thing... DEATH (and hell?) are the complete cessation of existence. We are not eternal beings. The common religious ideology of hell-fire is simply not correct. The lake of fire has been prepared for Satan and his demons. They are eternal beings. We are NOT eternal beings. It is the saved, who are ultimately resurrected, changed, transformed, INCORRUPTIBLE... as the angels. Thus can be with the Lord, forever.
Researching what if I may ask? The existence of God?
It really should not take three decades to research whether or not Jesus Christ was really bodily resurrected - which is what all truth hinges on in regard to God. Peterson has been directly questioned as to whether or not he believes that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is a real, historical event. He replied that he did not know but that if it were true it would change everything and that scared him. He has no doubt spent untold hours studying and contemplating the scriptures, but his intellect has concluded that Jesus Christ is merely an "archetype of truth." But a plain reading of the gospel accounts clearly teaches that Jesus really did rise from the dead - they leave no room for Christ merely being an archetype of truth. If he is seeking truth, he is on a tangent that is taking him far from it. So...there is no way Peterson is a Christian in any sense of the word. The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ is a fundamental and essential tenant of the faith. No resurrection = no gospel.
@pillowface5628 Everything related. Histories to see where we came from. Philosophy/religious beliefs for the same. Pyschology to understand how and why we think. Anthropology and a bit of archeology to stay current on what we can know about our past. Theoretical physics to know our material universe and our current understanding of the quantum realm. Metaphysics and spirituality to see what the extremists are contemplating and how that may fit into the big picture. Various studies on NDE's. and the people living on Adaman Island are my current go-to for study

Christians walk by faith not by sight, and Biblical truths are spiritually discerned - that's why Jordan hits that limitation. I think it is very strange that Jordan wouldn't say he was a believer in the gospel, unless he isn't a believer. God's Word is higher, worthy of more glory, than Jordan's. What a platform Jordan has to bring more glory to Jesus Christ for His sake. To accept the gospel, one must be humble, and realize they need a Savior for their sins. This scripture reminds me of what Jordan has said here: Matthew 19 13 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. 14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. 15 And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence. 16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? 17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. 18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, 19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? 21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. 22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. I pray that Jordan Peterson's great posession - his intellect - doesn't hinder him from coming to a saving knowledge of the Truth. There's only one way to heaven: Romans 10 8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
