jORDAN pETERSON bIBLE SERIES 2

tHAT LAST POST IS A MESS BUT i'M PRAYING MORE NOW AND MAYBE THIS ONE WON'T BE. i HOPE. aNYWAY, THIS IS THE url TO THE WHOLE PAGE OF jORDAN pETERSON'S bIBLE SERIES AT yOU tUBE SINCE i'M NOT SURE i CAN EMBED ANY OF HIS VIDEOS SEPARATELY:

JjORDAN pETERSON bIBLE SERIES i'M SORRY, i REALLY CAN'T SEE WHAT i'M DOING. i SEE A WHITE EXPANSE WITH VAGUE GRAY LETTERS IN IT. mY EYES ARE BETTER ON SOME DAYS THAN OTHERS BUT TODAY IS A BAD ONE. nEVERTHELESS i'M GOING TO TRY TO WRITE SOMETHING ANYWAY.

iN THE FIRST TALK OF HIS SERIES pETERSON STARTS OUT TALKING ABOUT "WE" AS IN WE OF wESTERN cIVILIXATION BUT IT'S INTERESTING HOW HE DOESN'T COUNT bIBLICAL BELIEVERS AT ALL. "wE" APPARENTLY ISN'T US ALTHOUGH HE DOES THINK THAT THE bIBLE HASD A LOT TO DO WITH SHAPING WESTERN CIVILIZATION AND ONE OF HIS MOVIES, PERHAPS HIS MAIN MOTIVE, IN DOING THIS SERIES OF TALKS, IS TO EXPLORE WAYS WE MIGHT SAVE IT TODAY SINCE HE SSEEE S IT AS BEING DESTROYED. aS DO i. bUT OF COURSE TO MY MIND EXPLORING THE PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS OF THE bIBLE ACCORDING TO HIS WAY OF THINKING IS NOT GOING TO DO MUCH TO SAVE WESTERN CIVILIZATION. tHAT WOULD TAKE A REVIVAL OF THE TRUE MEANING OF THE bIBLE AND A RETURN TO THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE BELIEVERS. tHAT'S WHAT MADE THE WEST IN THE FIRST PLACE, IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH PRINCIPLES FOR DEVELOPING THE HUMAN PSCYHNHE, IT WAS ALL ABOUT BELIEVING IN THE gOD WHO GAVE US THE bIBLE, AND THE bIBLE AS gOD'S PLAN OF REDEMPTION OF US FALLEN HUMAN BEINGS. aLTHOUGH pETER'S PSYCHOLOGICAL CONCEPTS ARE INTERESTING THEY HAVE NOTHING WHATEVER TO DO WITH THE bIBLE. tHE BEST THAT MIGHT COME OF THEM IS TO REACQUAINT WESTERNERS WITH THE BEST THAT DID CREATE OUR CIVILIXATION, BUT NOT IF ALL THEY GET OUT OF IT IS WHAT pETERSON GETS OUT OF IT. ,BR> hE WONDERS HOW "WE" EVER BELIEVED IN IT AND HOW WE CAME NOT TO BELIEVE IN IT. gOOD GRIEF, IS HE EVEN HALF AWARE THAT THERE ARE MILLIONS OF US WHO DO BELIEVE IN IT? i GUESS WE JUST DON'T COUNT. wE'RE AS GOOD AS "DEPLORABLES" EVEN IN HIS EYES ALTHOUGH IN GENERAL HE'S NOT ON THAT SIDE OF THE CURRENT POLITICAL DIVIDE.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-wWBGo6a2w&t=964s The thing about Jordan Peterson is that he's too interesting to dismiss lightly, although in some

tHE sense I want to rant and rave about how utterly vacuous is his understandeing of the Bible and Christianity. I end up having to recognize that what makes him interesting and een proflund is his psyuchological concepts completely apart from the Bible he hangs them on in his Bible lectures. ,br>

Those of us who believe the Bible as written he just sweeps away without the slightest sense that we have anything to contributge to the conversation at all. At all. He thinks the bible is an important document because he thinks such an ancient document must contain something valuable if only because he knows that it has played an important role in western Civilzat8ion. His idea of what is important is how the human psyche is put together, so he's looking for how the Bible must be a primitive source of the ideas that led to our complex personalities and culture today. He's looking for how it creates meaning and self consciousness for instance. He's very interesting at that kind of thing. He's just useless at knowing anything about the Bible's purpose.

He starts from evolutionarty theory so everything he says is run through that wrecking machine to begin with.
