Lecture: Who Dares Say He Believes in God?
Vložit

- And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. (Mark 10:18; see also Luke 18:19).
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 7:21, KJV).
I have been asked many times by many people if I believe in God. I don't like this question. I generally respond by stating that I act as if God exists, but that's not sufficiently true. Who could do that? Who could conduct themselves with the moral exactitude and care necessary of someone who would dare to make that claim? Either claim? In any case, after being asked the question yet again, when I was in Australia, I decided to attempt to answer it in some detail.
This lecture, one of the 12 Rules for Life tour talks, was delivered in Sydney Feb 26, 2019, at the International Convention Centre. It was one of six I had professionally video recorded. Five of the six will be released directly on thinkspot, our new social media platform (to be announced in mid-June), as a bonus for direct subscribers (not to worry; there are still more than 50 to be released as audio on the Jordan B Peterson podcast at bit.ly/2HUdgnc, so it's not as if there will be any shortage). But I thought CZcams would be appropriate for this, given the potentially broad interest in the topic.
I've made a new playlist for it, too, entitled On (my) Belief in God. Three videos make up that playlist: this one, a 20 minute talk I did for the Prager summit in May of 2019 ( • On Claiming Belief in ... ), and an interview/discussion I had with Dennis Prager at the same event ( • On Claiming Belief In ... )
I would recommend watching them in the playlist order, which will be this lecture first, then my Prager talk, then the interview, if you're interested in doing so. I think they make a good group.The idea of belief in God is of extreme importance. I hope that these lectures and interviews add to everyone's understanding of my position and why I hold it.
As always, thank you very much for your continued support.
The adjunct videos are also available on the Prager U site: the lecture at • Jordan Peterson Speech... ; the interview at • Interview: Jordan Pete...
Thanks to the Prager U organization for the invitation and opportunity.

the fact that we can watch this for free blows my mind.
Mike Kaz and universities want him out lol shame
@@branscombe_ you assumed they bought a computer there are many cheeper devices you can buy to watch his videos but either way those are things he personally can't control
@@r.canimations150 not the point
@@cyclops9202 yeah but their point didn't make any sense because they're making too broad an assumption
It proves there is a God
I love how Dr Peterson seems to be having a conversation with himself and letting you listen in.
if you pay attention to his face whilst he talks, he is always talking to the people who he is communicating, wether it is a crowd or an interview, it is an actual conversation, thats why it is so captivating.
well said
Paul Hachimaki But he also often says that his lectures are more like him figuring out his thoughts and ideas out loud. He very much is speaking to the crowd, but at the same time it is like he’s thinking out loud to himself and we just so happen to be there listening.
Yes yes ,, love from sweden ❤
Peterson: are you pondering what I am pondering?
listener: what's that Peterson?
Lol.
Proverbs 1:7
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;
Fools despise wisdom and instruction”
@@marz9676 no he doesnt, what about all the fraudulent charity organizations, i think what he means by charity, is the charity you provide in daily encounters with people, how you treat people in the moment, would you not say being kind and treating people with respect is a charitable act?
@@marz9676 Every Christian knows that CHARITY is simply another word for LOVE in the bible.
@@marz9676 I’m going to skip over your ignorance of the scriptural context and lack of understanding of metaphors here, however, are you saying that conservatives as well as conservative Christians don’t give charity?
@@marz9676 answer my question, is it your contention that Christian conservatives don’t give charity?
Such depth and knowledge. Thank you. I am a Christian, this does not mean I am as good as Christ. It means I struggle daily to do what I know is right. I am not perfect I am saved through the righteousness of Jesus. I’m forgiven by grace. Unmerited favor.
Exactly lol.
This is the moment of judgement, by us. Webcan choose the good loving way or we can choose the hateful way
The miracle of miracles amen ❤
listening to jordan peterson, i have realized how devoid of intelligent conversation my life is. I wish more people could talk like this. Articulate.
Same.
intellectuals seldom fraternise with the great unwashed.
I yearn for someone to go deep with on the regular! I hate trivial convo
@i get it They usually come at a high price though.
Peterson's not talking to anyone, he's conversing with himself. What's stopping you? Are you devoid?
*This is gold for the people who can't attend your lectures*
...and OH, I wish I could!!!
Cheap and affordable knowledge.
This is so inspiring even as an atheist.
I got an opportunity to see him this year. Drove 7 hrs round trip. 100% worth the trip! I'd do it again in a heart beat! :)
@@dsshakespeare Has JBP ever explicitly said that he believes in God? He talks about the Bible as parable, as fiction. This lecture is a word salad about NOTHING. And how much are tickets to his nonsense lectures? His audience are the very people who don't need to spend $100+ to be even further confused. Absolute charlatan scumbag.
Thank God his lectures are on here for free. Those of us who are poor still need his lessons and revelations about life… I have so much respect for him.
Why not thank him? Since he is the one making videos and posting them for free, not God.
Instead you broke the ten commandments and used Gods name in vain. Shame on you.
@Cole Lewis Actually that commandment is accurately translated to "Thou shalt not do evil in God's name"
@@camikazi2737 I was just being sarcastic with the second part. The real question of why not thank JP instead of God, you very cleverly avoided :) very clever. Almost JP like in the way you argue :) ignore the actual question and ramble some stuff.
Every time I go to my grandparents for mothers day, instead of thanking my grandmother for cooking, when everyone does their little prayer and giving thanks. It's always "we thank god for this food" how about thank the people who actually cooked the food. The people who spend hours in the hot sun so that food gets to your grocery store. Nah it's all we thank god for bla bla bla. Disgusting way to take away the accomplishments of real people and instead place your gratitude to a guy who in your own book murders the whole planet with a flood.
@Cole Lewis I can thank God and still appreciate JBP for creating the content in the first place.
Are you genuinely looking to start a theological debate with me, or are you just trying to attack me for being Christian? And your family sounds very strange, because mine always thanks the person who prepared the meal, and then gives thanks to God for providing the means and opportunities. You come across as rather bitter, sir.
What are you thanking God for? What did he do in the process of Jordan Peterson's video?
This man restores my belief in the society and world I live in.
In a world filled with sin and darkness the most noble thing one can do is to strive against it.
@@ezbayt8723 I think that's an agreeable statement regardless of if I agree with your beliefs or not. Atheist or not, secular or Buddhist, all can agree that striving against evil is right.
No way. People want to reelect trump. Zero hope in that.
@@bggraham83 If you choose only to look at the negative aspects of life eventually you'll think everything is negative
have you seen george carlin?
This dear man has suffered much in his mission to break us out of the prison of superficiality (and it most obnoxious child, political correctness) and is a gift of immeasurable value to our generation. Let's make his sacrifices worth something by getting our lives and relationships in order and making a difference that will benefit generations to come.
He hasn't suffered at all. He is becoming rich via his faux erudition.

BRAVO !!!!!!!!!! LOVE YOU ❤😍❤😍❤😍 LOVE FROM SWEDEN
Hear, hear.
I m 15, and dr Peterson is changing my life
I'm 25 and I'm jealous how much that could put you on the right track ;D
Soak it up man, let your ego go, be responsible, make good decisions, and make your bed! You're doing good kid, keep it going 👌😉
Be your own man.
I am also going to add that peterson is a very clever demagouge and populist sometimes. No offence. This time not, but when he starts talking about politics, oof, he really goes out of his way
Ahmed Comor stay in school and away from drugs that’s the first step.
This man gives inspiration & hope every time I listen to him. My life is immeasurably better for him. God bless Jordan.
My grandfather is getting old, but still stays very healthy and active. Hes always been very present in all his kids and grandkids lives, and gets sentimental in his old age often. He recently told me that he was happy, that hes lived a good life and he loves his family, and that he couldnt ask for anything else. The beginning of this lecture by doctor peterson (when he mentions socrates letting life go gracefully) makes me think of my grandpa. Makes me want to give him and my gram a call and let them know im thinking of them
Do it, phone them. Let them know!
Hes really been upping his suit game over the last couple years.
Don cherry got nothing on this guys game
jerry greene don’t be Cain lol
Psychonaut he almost lost his wife to cancer. I’m sure whatever tf your doing has little to no impact on anyone’s life. Your turning out to be an excellent Cain.

At 26 after 17 years of a deep depression and endless meaninglessness, watching this man's videos has slowly given me a hope to creat a purpose in my life. At least today I don't wake up wondering if today's the day I off myself or not anymore and that to me is a life changing step
P.S. I love all of your replies thank you very much.. I just wanna give yall a little back story. My father died when i was 9 years old. I drove past the car accident that killed him and then went to school. When i was told later that day that i lost my dad and my best friend i cried for an hour and it broke me. I didnt cry or feel anything but numbing anger for the next 7 years until i found weed. It gave me my emotions back. It allowed me to feel and cry again. I used it to heal and feel some pf that pain but then i graduat3d to coke and pills by the end of the next year and then at 18 i started shooting Herion and meth and Coke. And then fentynal. At my worst it was 1 to 3.5 Gs a day. Also growing up i was physically abused daily to the extremes. thrown down stairs, through walls, glass smashed on my collar bone stabbed with a fish hook when i was like 4. I drowned when i was 3 and my step dad gave me cpr to save me. (Thats one of my first memories) I have had a rough life to say the least. But today i have a purpose. Today i Know who i am. I am clean from all the dope for over a year now. I just smoke every know and then. I have an IQ of 137 and a heart that truly cares about everyone. I know how dark and depressing life can be and the depths of pain in it. I wanna do everything i possibly can to ensure others dont have to feel thr level of hopelessness ive endured for more than half my life. This is why i truly want to open affordable housing apartment complexs/homeless housing and build communities based off the sole purpose of helping others and then one day if everything works out I want to run for president and truly help this country how i know the amazing people here can.
Be grateful for that encounter. Many people sleep their entire lives thinking they‘re awake and you probably just began waking up
i relate to this.
youre not the only one feeling that way brother
As I read your comment, it touched me empathiclly.. I’m 70yrs old & was happy in business until I lost everything (house/marriage/business), so I’ve read that book.. Please don’t look for the ‘quick-fix’ answer, find a way to climb the ladder-of-emotions’, slowly, but determined.
I thank you for sharing,, as sharing is like starting to let go.
I wish you well on your journey 💛
It's not endless meaninglessness, it's suffering.
For me, getting out of depression (I was diagnosed with 18 but i think i had for a long time, at least in a mild form) was tough but simple. Surround yourself with whatever meaningful things you can (family, friends, charity, etc). When you find yourself enjoying little things in life, remember it. Save those memories for a rainy day. And also pray. Pray a lot. Even if you don’t believe (I didn’t) praying the rosary helps immensely. And accept its a long process to climb out of the pit. That’s my experience.
I recently finished "Beyond Order" and had to re-read it immediately. A magnificent book, one of the best I have ever read. Reading it, as well as re-discovering Dr Peterson's work this year, has really had a beneficial effect on me, and I am a woman of Dr Peterson's age group rather than the younger men who are so often inspired by him. I'd first heard of Dr Peterson in 2018, liked what I saw, but then ill health and the pandemic led me to lose touch with what he was doing. Of course Dr Peterson and his wife were very, very ill during 2019, 2020 and into 2021. It is remarkable that much of "Beyond Order" was written when Dr Peterson was seriously ill in various hospitals. He is a remarkable man, solid as a rock, a house built on firm foundations, a shining light in a dark world. Long may he stay safe, healthy and happy to carry on his great work. Looking forward to reading "Antidote to Chaos" when I can find it plus the book he's working on now "We Who Wrestle With God". I love watching his lectures and interviews.
In tears.
Why?
Truth and sincerity from a fellow human being.
That’s why.
Thank you very much, Dr. Peterson.

Yes, this happens to me consistently.
😄 yep
I am doing that dance right now.
It's like reading the same sentence over and over again
The positive energy that I get by reading the comments of a JP video give me hope, as much or more that the lecture its self
By that you mean it gives a positive tone and feeling, right? Don't mean "energy" in some astrological or physical sense. ( _P = F x D/t_ or "These crystals are radiating energy because you're a Virgo" or something)

Unless you are a genius with novel ideas but that takes a lot of brain power and that personality type
@@jakehouser1975 We shouldn't worry about our personality type. No matter which personality type you have, if you work very hard to gain knowledge, you will be closer to fulfilling your potential, which is what we should seek, rather than comparing our abilities with others. Which is not to say we should accept failure in our basic duties just because we're less intelligent or capable.
Jordan Peterson keep Rockin the "philosopher beard", it looks great!
His wife doesn’t like it that’s why he keeps shaving it off lol
JP is handsome with or without the beard- but I am but a female!!!
Yes, yes, and yes..and somehow remains genuinely humble. When the mad scientists look for ideal template to program futuristic robots...JP is my pick.
Jordan Peterson is hot!
Urayis wish
This is funny think say considering that he is talking about, all the time, is that there isn’t “beyond” good and evil and that post-modern deconstructionism is wrong.
"When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him."

@@misssarahashplant31 yea, as fodder for the agendas of evil people. And the problem isn't intelligence, it's a lack of self awareness, born of fear of introspection. If you don't take a magnifying glass to your own behaviors and values, you just aren't being the best you you can be.
One of the most prolific minds I’ve ever heard. He’s truly a blessing to this generation and all future ones who decide to listen.
I love listening to Jordan; having a strong Judeo Christian background I am challenged by the way he interprets and applies the truths I have built my life on and used as foundation to raise a family, build my marriage and lead churches I have pastored. You don’t allow superficial belief, but challenge all who declare themselves Christian to demonstrate what a true follower of Christ should be like. Thank you Jordan for challenging me to think through all I claim to believe.
Had I encountered you prior to beginning leadership of a church I feel certain I would have thought through more deeply what my objective would be and how I would have laid a foundational belief system for them and more importantly within me. If I m not living it out, then how can I instruct others? Thank you for paying the price to be genuinely yourself and grow the skill to express your thoughts intelligently and in true character of belief you show so clearly. You are making a deep impact in my life, which I deeply appreciate. Kent

Did we not have christ and the apostles as the example of a believer in christ?...... is not love a sacrifice of care? are we not to die to self, meaning that we are not in ownership of our human logic and reason where we make choices?.
If Christianity can be explained then where is the part of faith? are we not intellectually mind when we reason by theories of, what if?....... well we were told that all God works are finished at the end of the world!.... faith to believe is void of self importance in the process of life..... a full life can be a day to one hundred years plus according to purpose ..... a fulfilling life according to purpose is a life of sacrifice according to commitment to the gospel of Chris!...
Many rewards are ordained to be in this life ( life without God with the evidence that there is a God)..... and there are rewards for the faith believer who life unto God in hope of that which is not seen that is yet to come by promise!
Trail and error is man's theory for change
But submission is what is required for change in the life of a believer
Submission is without question of who is in charge rather it comes by knowing who is in charge!🤔....
The truth cannot be reasoned, it is to believe or to be rejected.
The world by a cosmetic life have knowingly or unknowingly, rejected the truth....... truths can't be debated
A lie is commonly believed in society to keep the estates of make believing that it is not the truth.
What is truth?
What is a lie?
What is reason?
What is mythology?
Question the answer
Question the question
Denying both would make you a free thinker..... without a foundation we can't have a platform!.....
Question what what you just heard and why it is horizontal.
The problem with the tower of babel is that they took what is meant to be horizontal and force it to the vertical life and God stopped it and confused their language 🤔...... if we believe in God we will know the truth and the truth will make us free...... to have faith it is not in the hands of the intelligence of man
Nimrod is a hunter for the souls of men.....it is a conspiracy and not a campaign!....watch!
Great reading your comment! I do hope you question things though. It's very important to.
@@SStupendous thanks, it is given to us to prove all things and to hold fast to what is good......on the other hand when we do it is there we will learn obedience by the many things that suffer. It is our experience that creates the resistance to temptation.
Stay committed!..... God bless

Yes, that's what I was thinking. He's helped me so much and I always see so many positive comments in his videos.

Mr. Peterson. You, and mark my words. Will be talked about as one of the greatest free-thinking psychologists in the modern day. And I'm honored to have been able to listen to you in the present.
Once before, great thinkers were debated and venerated, or at least visible. Jordan Peterson is one of the few modern thinkers that has cracked the malaise of modern comforts and become known to many. I think he is already talked about as a great psychologist and thinker, but how many more are there not named Jordan Peterson that we've hit the snooze button on?

Jordan Peterson is, without a doubt, one of the deepest thinking and prolific Intellectuals in the world today. I know his talks, teachings and philosophy has changed my life completely. His message also emerged at precisely the right time in history, it's like he was born in this era to try to teach humanity how to save itself from itself. He's a godsend, God bless Dr. Peterson. No one could do what you are doing in the world today, you truly are one of a kind.
@brennonthornton2662
"Jordan Peterson is, without a doubt, one of the deepest thinking and prolific Intellectuals in the world today."
Yet he believes in the BS in the Bible. So, no. he's not. He has belief in god that he can't actually justify.
And you don't see it.
Sometimes I watch these kinds of videos while I'm supposed to be studying and then I wonder, am I really procrastinating? Cause I feel I am learning more about myself, about life and about wisdom here than in all my school books
It’s just the same for me ,this guy says as much as nietzsche write. I see a lot of stuff but only his videos I really need to take a breath and calm down cause is way too much for my human non peterson mind
I'm definitely procrastinating
It's a different knowledge. You learn everything everyday from everyone. :)
literally what im doing rn
Well, considering you’re all watching his videos, sooner or latter you’ll get the gist of coordinating yourself to complete both tasks of doing school or university work and keep a hobby like this, in a more objective but determined manner.
The choice doesn’t need to be one or the other, the options are there, figure out how to do both
I'm 19, and Dr. Peterson is changing my life.
Awesome - tell more people, and share the shit out of his work! He's had a great impact on my life too (although I'm a lot older and more jaded!!) and I hope he leaves the same massively positive imprint on yours. He's passionate about building better people, so all the very best for your bright future Martin.
n.b. this response IS the type of positive effect his work generates - I just wish there was more of it.

@@catsmeowth4202 I really doubt that an egomaniac can take out of suicide to thousands of people.
I find myself coming back to these videos every time the world gets a little overwhelming and they always help to get centred again. Doesn't make life easier but it never fails to help me sharpen my determination and purpose.
Ive been watching this man now for 5 years now since i was 28 and he never skips a beat...
You know what amazes me about this man? His quest to make you as smart as he is. It's amazing and altruistic. I love him for these things.
its not his quest. his quest is money and for a lot of people to think he's smart, and good, and daddy. this man, btw, makes $60,000 a month from his fans alone. thats before lecture fees, shirt sales, book sales etc. thats not altruistic. and if you talk to a true scholar of any of the material he makes it impossible for his fans to ever truly experience, they will tell you how fundamentally off base he is. he is essentially ruining a generation of (mostly) men's chances to become transformed through learning - because he's cramming his read of this material and reiterating it, reiterating it, as though there is some big truth and he knows it. you would know this too if you would have read any of this stuff before hearing him. (thats not a criticism btw- the books are hard, finding time to read is hard, and its not easy to just... pick these up and read them if they fall out of context in a person's life) I'm sure now every time any of his fans do read these books at his recommendation , they will read them in a way that they imagine their hero would want them to. they won't have a relationship with the writing, they won't have genuine aha moments, they won't even spot his glaring misinterpretations. He is warping people's minds by posturing as a genius and poorly plagiarizing victorian thinkers, and lying about the material he sights, and by doing so he is quite literally destroying people's ability to learn. Jordan Peterson is the very definition of a fraud.
ABSOLUTELY!
@Tim McDraw, I could think of worse people for the youth of America to emulate or call a "hero". Jordan Peterson is making shit loads of money doing exactly what we should all be doing, and good for him. He found something he was interested in, applied himself, studied and mastered something and shared it with the world. He's not cramming it down people's throat. He's offering perspective and simplifying complex ideas for people like me who need parenting.
Tim McDraw
He’s still telling them to read good books, and he tells them his interpretation of them, which you can choose whether or not to agree with. It’s much better than not giving any interpretation at all.
I find that he tends to interpret literature in part with archetypal Jungian ideas and in part with existential thought, which isn’t surprising, considering how much Dostoevsky and Nietzsche he recommends.
@@timmcdraw7568 Good for him, he used his head at least.
Is it reasonable to assume you don't make a fraction of that per month?
An hour and forty five minute lecture and, no damn ads... thank you sir.
@Mark Donald really, why?
@Mark Donald I don't remember any of the videos on his channel ever being monetized. He specifically has said he offers them freely.

The world's need you Jordan . Jesus may have chosen you to be a beacon of hope sir. I sleep to ur lectures and listen driving my rig at work thank you for giving me a proader spectrum of thought
Mark my words: Dr. Peterson, you will be remembered. I mean that on a scale probably grander than you would imagine. Your way with words and your take on life's problems and big questions is absolutely remarkable. Good thinkers think, but great thinkers make non-thinkers think, and I hold the opinion that you fall in the latter category. Thank you.
I believe that he’ll be remembered as one of the greats like Jung or Nietzsche, etc…..I think he’s that good
I totally agree.
He’s nothing short of a miracle and I’m so happy he found a platform to spread his wisdom.
@@aojbooker8650 Neither Jung nor Nietzsche’s views or perceptions were anywhere near as constraint and closed minded as Peterson’s narrow parameters when it comes to his personal opinions and biased conclusions. Many of which are heavily swayed and stunted by his faith as a staunchly devout disciple of Catholicism and it’s religious teachings/beliefs/condemnations. He also seems unwilling and disinterested in expanding his perceptions and exploring opposing views in order to achieve ongoing growth by remaining open to different ways of being and attempting to try and understand some of life’s unshared struggles that non-white, non-Christian, straight or gay individuals can often find themselves challenged by. He continually shuts out narratives that don’t align with his. He shuts himself in that bubble and often utters gibberish to try to defend it.

"And she said 'Im a christian and a marxist' and I thought.........

This man is a gem
Because capitalism is so consistent with the message of the gospels, isn't it?
The Illustrious Martyrs Club i don’t think you get it. But I guess trying to explain this to you is a waste of breath.
@@anthonybrett Everyone is conflicted, man. And who's to say what her state of self-awareness is... I am just expressing the thought that to be a Marxist and a Christian is no more incompatible than being a Capitalist and a Christian.
@@michel-jeantailleur They're both bad systems. At least with capitalism you have a full belly while society becomes a degenerate cesspool.
The Illustrious Martyrs Club Look at what Christianity brought to countries. Look at what Marxism brought to countries. Why do people en masse want to live in western kapitalist countries based upon Judeo- Christian values? Why do people don’t want to move to Marxist/socialist countries? I know these are not my words, but I know they’re true. Why we abandon and don’t talk about our Christian values that much anymore is a much more complicated story. So if you’re really interested, I suggest you start reading. Don’t cast your pearls before swine.
Ah, what's a better way to spend a Friday night than to watch a two-hour lecture on God and human's moral struggles... Magnificent...
Exactly what I am doing now. I'm actively looking more at lectures and seminars now than I was when I was at university, hahahahahaha.
Let's give it a go
Today is Friday night for me now as well.
i think theres somehting forming here. first thing I watch on a friday night
This is my Friday night 6 months later
I literally can watch Jordan a million times. Any of his talks and speeches I will gain new information every time. It’s shocking how much is there.
I've watched this lecture and all the other ones too! I love them all. I've even watched many of them more than once.
over the amount of time that I've been a fan and follower of JP and his lectures; and also for what he stands for over-all.....he has begun to feel like a 2nd dad for me. I know that sounds weird; but that's how I feel.
Peace to all.

As a “Christian” this lecture has challenged me more than any message than I’ve ever heard preached.
His little "talking to himself" moments are so entertaining and yet thought-provoking.

So she wrote her fantasy story based on religious beliefs and other myths like, oh i dunno, it has been done forever? Your point being? ^^
Even the story of the bible is heavily inspired by the religions that came before it. When it comes to these things, people like to get inspired by things they heard about and liked.
@@Yamyatos Life comes from God alone, this life and the human intellect is a dream. Once upon a time, we didn't exist, suddenly, we exist, only to walk daily towards our non-existence. We are the walking dead, the walking dreamers and our imaginations and intellectual constructions are all built on that foundation of a delusional, temporal and dying nature.
Even one who knows nothing can learn rocket science, if they believe and willing to learn from the rocket scientist (and not lean on their own understanding)
Likewise, one who knows nothing of truth, life or God can learn of all those things if they first believe what God has said - but no amount of words or evidence can turn a heart set against God in the other direction.
The Bible was not inspired by religions before it. It was inspired by God Himself and written down by men. It is like no other religious book. It is a living book, one that's endured no matter how many people have tried to destroy it. The Bible is also unique in that it matches with chronological history. It talks about real events that happened in history. The Quran doesn't, none of the eastern religions do, and none of polytheistic religions of Greece, Egypt, or the Romans do.

Socrates: tells youth the truth, chased out of town
Peterson: tells youth the truth, chased out of town Edit: Wow I was not expecting this much engagement! Thanks y’all, keep it civil 😁
The Factory Rat Genius No, but I like your video on Eternal Damnation, 100% agree
@The Factory Rat Genius Socrates knew many of the answers and was hoping to find them in the prodding of his students and the youth without prompting. A good teacher doesn't give his students the answers. He encourages them towards the truth he understands or perhaps hopes he might come across a mind that dispenses a greater truth based on his interrogations, that he might not have consisdered.
DA Espada no he actually literally didn’t know the answers. He knew things. Foremost he knew what he didn’t know.
The Factory Rat Genius Socrates questioned the system that was currently educating the youth, and was then accused of corrupting the youth by pushing that same questioning on them. Peterson is contesting an establishment that claims to have all the answers and distributes them en mass as fact. So no, Peterson is closer to Socrates in this metaphor. Though I don’t think Socrates claimed to answer the questions he proposed in most cases, he mostly just attempted to tear down the indoctrination process of “fact” being spread around by the cultural rulers of Athens at the time. He was known to specifically seek out those who were leading figures and tear them down with his jester like questioning. He was attacking a system and group, who collectively claimed he was corrupting the youth after the fact. Peterson attacks a system and group, and they collectively respond by focusing on his character.
It's like the biblical message Jesus preached when He said the world will hate you for standing up for what is True

"When I was a kid.. not a kid, 25. Everything I said was one form of a lie or another." Damn that hits home
I didn't lie, but I lived a lie, which ends up being the same thing.. and now I literally found God, an experience that took me decades to remember.. I believe God had seen in me something I had yet to take notice of.. I am now in the middle of "the biggest case in over 20 years", (said, Internal Affairs), as in fighting the gov, and in doing so found a voice that is here to proclaim God's existence.. I'm talkin too much.. just know that verbal and internal lies are the same.. and not addressing it makes you God's slaves in life.. which I am no longer. YOIII.XO
It's not surprising, since all the business, political, and social leaders in our societies lie constantly while building facades of integrity. With psychopaths as role models, no wonder youth turns out damaged. REAL men like Jordan Peterson are the antidote to the toxicity of modern society.
For me, I was unaware of it. At around age 20-24, I had this out of body experience where I first used words to think (before that I ignored any thought of concious or self critical thought, in all honesty it was heaven on earth,,, for a while). It was the first time I went within myself and allowed myself to think. From then I have not stopped, and I have simultaneously been dealing with mental health issues which may have been caused by this introspective appifany, if I can call it that.
But what happened was exactly the same as Dr. Peterson describes, 95% of who I thought I was, who I portrayed, what I said, was either a lie or mimickery or taught and copied by family, society and other things..... The 5% that was me was the life experience that I had up until that point which was out of my control and not fabricated in some sort of way.
It was this experience that allowed me to delve into the depths of being and realise truth above all else matters, I figured out if I thought God existed or not and other existential questions, and life questions and I am now at a point where within me I am whole, I am truthful to a satisfactory level, before it was 5% and now it is above 70%. I can now fail at implementing who I am inside into the outside world through action an infinite amount of times without giving up, as the truth dictates it.
On the outside I come across as weak but I am insanely strong on the inside, ironically before the age of twenty I was seen as strong but I was incredibly fragile and weak on the inside.
Man im 24 and the advice 'dont lie' has never been so useful in my life.
@@RGMRT this the age you go thru some serious shi+.. so take it serious.. cuz bout at 40, you'll realize where you are and heading, and its gonna be nice [cuz you'll notice ain't too many others on it..].. so keep it up, it will pay off. YOIIII

It's pretty amazing how humble Jordan remains even during this crazy adventure he is on. A sign of true character, I believe.
Brando he makes it more complicated, because it is more complicated.
His ideas are a the most coherent synthesis between atheistic materialism and religion. In many of his talks (and his books) he makes the distinction between objective scientific knowledge, and the more poetic, behavioral nature of mythology.
This is why he’s controversial. He’s saying there is truth embedded in religious ideas, which annoys materialists to no end. But he also never claims that those truths are objective or scientific, which annoy believers to no end. But there is still deep truth to it.
This is a third way. Neither theistic nor atheistic.
@@brando3342 - Yes, you're right. This is not the place to go for the direct gospel. But he's speaking in general to intellectuals and philosophers. Before I joined team Jesus, I was very enamored with philosophy and loved to reason everything out -- to death lol. Plus, I'm a book editor and love to use an expansive vocabulary. He's not claiming to be the way to finding Jesus. I think this might help some agnostics to reason on the side of God as opposed to no god. But we don't need to worry about whether his speeches will help non-believers believe, because the ones looking for the truth and asking, will find it, regardless. :)
Brando that's not even remotely easy for someone who isn't religious, so I'm not sure how that would help people "find the door" at all really. In contrast, JP is able to talk about religion in ways that make it much easier for non-religious people to understand and even respect, people that would otherwise curse religion.
Brando
I was raised in a deeply Christian evangelical household. I spoke in tongues, I had conversations with “God” in my head every day. I’ve been baptized. I’ve read multiple versions of the bible through on several occasions. I’ve “let Jesus in”, as you put it. As a child, I would prophesy and have dreams and visions (none of which came true, by the way).
I know exactly what it feels like to have that deep certainty that your version of things is correct. Deep in your heart. Like walking away from a test you studied for, knowing you got an A.
...Only to be devastated the next week when you get your grade back and see all the questions you missed.
I have to ask the question: which version of Jesus do you want us to let in? The Baptist version? The Catholic? The Eastern Orthodox version? The Lutheran version? The Nondenominational American version, who has attributes that still contradict the other versions?
This is the problem with the certainty you profess. JP mentions Socrates. He was said to be the wisest man in the world not because he was certain, but because he admitted how little of the world he knew.
“Whoever humbles himself like this little child...”
Jordan Peterson’s notions of God are far more subtle, and quite frankly, realistic, than the more ideologically grounded versions of people with devout religious faith. The Jesus you’re asking me to invite in is not the same he discusses.
In his talk he reveals a great humility and a reluctance to make such bold claims as everyday religious people (and everyday atheists). He also bases his ideas deeply in evolutionary biology. He’s not claiming the same thing as a creator God.
God is more of a transcendent reality that we can align ourselves with. JP frequently mentions Taoism. Mysterious, not well understood. Where the questions are more important than the answers.
Again. It isn’t theism. This version of God is far more subtle. But still very real. It’s not atheism either.
@@brando3342 So do you think it wouldn't work if, for example, somebody merely accepted allah as the one true god? In your mind, it has to be acceptance of jesus or nothing.
Do you really believe that? It seems like a dishonest position.

Jesus Christ is who the Bible says He is. I cried out in prayer and asked God “whoever you are that created me, please show me who you are, I’m tired of the darkness of the world” etc etc etc. I prayed like this with all of my heart and pouring out my tears for many nights, again and again, I got no answer until one night I finally did. God answered me in a miraculous way and said “Jesus Christ is who the Bible says He is” but he didn’t just put that thought in my head, it was like He downloaded that understanding to every cell of my body and suddenly I KNEW it was the truth. I began weeping and repenting of my sin, but I felt so full of joy also. The Bible says if you seek God passionately with all of your heart and don’t give up, HE WILL ANSWER YOU. Repent of your sins and seek Jesus Christ. Abide in Him daily and He will change you and He will grant you the right to enter the kingdom of heaven.
etc etc etc
Jesus will never miss the opportunity to reveal Himself to ANYONE who seeks Him from their heart✝️❤️
I support this, don't worry about the haters. I hope they read beyond the presentation of your truth to the heart of the Truth itself. Jesus truly is Lord of all that is.
And the word became flesh and dwelt among us.
You know Jesus already came back, right? Preterism. Titus flavian was the second coming. He was the version in the next generation before the last one died, to level the temple so not on stone is atop another. Jesus and god left and are not coming back.
As Jordan says "we don't have a right, to say we 'believe' in God", because we don't live like we believe. It is true that we are inadequate, ungrateful and its fair to conclude we therefore do not deserve to stand in relation with God, but yet, God loves us, and this is why we sing of His "amazing Grace".
We are saved by grace, not by works, lest we come to boast.
@Imagine Heaven i think I agree with you. And I meant to express agreement w Jordan as well. Only difference with me is that I wanted to add to his point the idea that our inadequacy points back to God's greatness, since despite ourselves He saves.
Yep. He's almost there. I hope he continues down the path set by the idea of "those who wrestle with God."
Best conversation I ever had. Just listening to Jordan Peterson. Thanks God.
I really appreciate Jordan’s candor and sincerity. I think that to understand Christianity intellectually is one thing and to live it is entirely another. To say that I am a believer in God, for me, is not to be an arrogant know-it-all…annoyingly emphatic about something I’m not supposed to know for sure. It’s a matter of experience. It’s not a question of my own worthiness because God doesn’t commune with people based upon their qualifications but upon their attitude, whether it is one of humility and dependency rather than, say, one of pride. I have seen God orchestrate my life and provide for me based upon my requests and supplications. He has met my deepest needs in darkest moments. He has sent human heroes to my rescue in the exact moments when no one could have known my needs. I should and could write a book on the faithfulness of God. He is faithful to me even though I may wander. His kindness is what draws me. His goodness shines! The question of God, for me, is absolutely unquestionable.
Dr. Peterson- I have watched many hours of lectures, many hours of your interviews and all of the podcasts with you on Joe Rogan, read 12 steps to life. What I would like to say first is that my family and I are thrilled to see you be so successful and continue to share your knowledge and gift of wisdom with a world that has needed it so desperately. I would also like to state an observation that I believe to have noticed: Through out the years of your lectures and speaking appearances, I believe to have noticed a correlation between the improvements in your daughters health and your overall character and appearance. (I will assume that part of that is your change in diet) My point is that in the same way that your “heart is warmed” by the stories of success and overcoming of life’s chaos, the same feeling is felt by myself and many others when we learn the news of the escape from tragedy and suffering that you and your family have accomplished. I was really blown away when I watched the podcast with Joe Rogan and your awesome, interesting, BEAUTIFUL, and highly intelligent daughter. To see her looking so healthy and to hear her speak about what she and your whole family went through and to add to the amazing story was to realize that during that time of suffering you selflessly continued to strive forward with your career and spreading the truth knowledge for the betterment of society. WOW! You not only preached it, you demonstrated it 100% man!!! I really hope that by some miracle I will one day get to shake your hand and tell you personally how grateful my friends and family are that you are alive and doing what you do. I believe that your message, your knowledge and compassion are the most amazing contributions to the world and genuinely saved my life and my relationship with my family, especially my 2 boys. Please consider making another trip to Oregon or somewhere relatively close to Oregon. I understand that you are busy, and if you actually get a chance to read this, then GREAT! You are loved and appreciated so much Dr. Peterson!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Take care and god bless you and your family.
Good for you!
jerry greene meaning that as individuals that we are, we play a role as we participate in history and that role is basically our contribution and relation to the transcendent (God)
Our relationship to what transcends our own mortal existence. This could be your children, this could be your artistic contributions, this could be your positive affect on others. Anything that does not involve the sustenance of your mortal coil outside of its role it plays in allowing you to participate in transcendence.
@@jerrygreene1493 I understand what he is saying and it is helpful to me. Many others also appear to find his words helpful. The reason he talks of Marxism so frequently is because he is addressing the post modernist/deconstructionist movements that are rooted in Marxist doctrine and which now pervade much of University thinking and teaching. It seems that you don't find his words helpful or beneficial to your own journey so you probably want to look elsewhere for guidance.
Nice comment Stephen. Good on you.
I can feel the love he puts into every thought. God bless you sir.
I wish I could make money by waffling for nearly two hours and not actually answering the question.
Kerching! 💲💲🎓💲💲Listen to me talking about anything apart from whether I believe in God for nearly two hours and give me your money. Good on Dr. Peterson!
@@misssarahashplant31 if you watched this whole video and still genuinely objectively believe that, there's really no convincing you. Dr. Peterson made it abundantly clear how he approaches that question and what he believes and why he approaches the question with the kind of ambiguity that he does.
@@jaysethi733 I'm not very well because I've got the kung flu. I ate too much bat soup last night. As for your point about Dr. Peterson, I agree with you. This middleman stuff is whacky and an interesting curiosity, but I am for the house with the narrow gate. One does not need religion to be spiritual.
@@jaysethi733 I'm wearing me frock and me silly hat and I know what the Big Guy in the sky wants. If you do as he says you'll go to heaven and if you don't then off to Dis you go. This whole middleman stuff serves a particular purpose but I don't need religion to be spiritual.
And if the God Squad thinks that their fictional saviour will save them from the Great Reset then they can think again.
As my fellow Puertoricans would say: GUAAAAAUUUUUU.
Truly inspiring.
I wish these lectures were part of curricula in high schools.
I took notes. I never take notes.
Sr. You reach the core of the most simple which drowns us all.
Wow, you reach the core of the most simple which drowns us all. Most succinct love it, thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Love this so much. I live this way everyday. It's not easy but it's worth it. Biggest enemy is self, because the biggest lies we buy are the ones we sell to ourselves.
This lecture is so so powerful and so much depth in it.
@@ricabel321 I wouldn't recommend that.
For in much wisdom is much grief; and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
-Ecclesiastes 1:18
Wow that's a profound line. Sorta confirms my experience, Saved it.
@@toomuchtruth Lord Byron: "Sorrow is knowledge, those that know the most must mourn the deepest, the tree of knowledge is not the tree of life
"
The more you know, the more you hurt.
It is interesting if you read Proverbs 31 and when you read the book of Ecclesiastes Solomon is suffering the consequences of foreign wives. Proverbs 21:9. If you listen to the last 15 minutes he talks about his relationship with his wife comparable to God and the concept of "contending" in relation to both. Think about how that ties into how Solomon interacted with his wives.
2 Timothy 3:7 King James Version (KJV)
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
My favorite part of the week?
When JP uploads a new video.
vitor passianoto I thought there were 52 weeks in a year. :(
JP?....type out the full name you lazy sos (sack of shit)
@@ai._m If you reach an age of some level of enlightenment you will one day feel embarrassed by that comment. Good luck.
@@ai._m it's a hell of a claim to assume the people listening all have low IQs. I get you're either trolling or have a predisposition to not liking his content and that's fine, you do you. I'd suggest though you allow people to find their own way without trying to insult them. Theres nothing wrong with pursuing his train of thought.
@@ai._m Yes, you did waste your 'precious' time on it as you were right when you said I had reached a higher level of enlightenment. I didn't bother to read further.
Dr. Peterson, you are the Aristotle of modern times. It's an honor to listen to you this day.
What glory in seeing a person never dumbing down to soon feed his thoughts, but trusting the intelligence of his audience and making them rise up. You are a post-modern wonder Mr. Peterson!
After I saw this show in person, I left hoping that a recording of it existed in some form so I could see it again and further digest all the profound and interesting things discussed. Many thanks for releasing it.
Jorune24 I was also there and have been waiting months to rewatch it so I could digest it fully.
You can always rewatch it or convert to mp3 or mp4.

How is that done please?
Maybe this url link. If not there are other converters
GOD (Truth) is found only through experience and reason. Dr. Peterson asks: "Who knows?" I do. I've been given the answers to all of the "hard questions." "The Book of GOD" can be read in 5 minutes or less, at no cost, and contains those answers. Click and ye shall find. GOD's prophet, the prophesied return of Elijah, has spoken. (I communicate only through my sites.)
This man brought me back from the edge of self termination, to being a productive member of my community again..... He has a way of using reason to make you think and figure out your life.... Love him, God bless him...!!!!!!
Hey Joe, just wanted to say I'm glad to hear you changed your mind, you are more special than you could know. God bless you mate
Oh definitely, JP and others like him made me realize my sphere of influence is waaaay too important to just give up on.... JP and Nietzsche in particular made my hunger FOR LIFE increase dramatically... which is all any of us need.... I think...! LOVE JP!!!!
I would say self determination is a lot better than self termination
@@kaysussex4991 I really like that. There's a lot there. It seems a simple play on words but that's got my head going in all different directions. It's the intersection of two heavy topics that I've found myself on lately. Thank you for putting it to words.
@@ratta_tat Thankyou for your kind words, J Peterson has inspired me to think about seriously about life and hopefully some of his wisdom is
Jordan Peterson helped me find God - he changed my whole life around. Thank you Dr. Peterson for everything you do despite all the malevolence of the modern interconnected domain and all the unnecessary hate you get from it. You're doing God's work!

Lovely lecture. I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the comments on regret and wives standing up to husbands and having their say (and vice versa), and how this is great for marriages. And helping them be the best they can too. You are a true philosopher.
