Dr Jordan Peterson discusses God’s existence, praying and faith with Piers Morgan

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.

He's almost there. He's asking the right questions.

“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.

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.

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.”

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.

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

''The fear of the lord is the beginning of Wisdom and the knowledge of the holy one is understanding''. Proverbs 10:27

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.

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

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

I can see in Piers’ face how much he enjoys talking to Jordan ❤ I love their interviews

[@kgosiking4228]

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

I think "Yes" would be the most hopeful and profound thing Mr. Peterson could ever say. Praise the Lord!

[@lyubomirageorgieva9762]

I will be praying for Jordan to come to know the love of Christ🙏🏻

[@KryptoCosmo]

Jordan Peterson is a truth-seeker. So refreshing to see this. God bless all Truth-seekers !

[@jeffreycoates4408]

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!

[@leandroferraz3776]

A beautiful statement how people can be educated, cultured, believe in science and believe in God.

[@Economivision]

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.
