“There’s still a little Cain on you no matter how Abel you are” Loved that

[@kegomania]

That caught me sideways too. Simply put but insightful

[@GT380man]

Inevitably, since Abel’s lineage was lost. We’re all descended from Cain. I know it’s a story. Doesn’t make it wrong. We’re all descended from people who committed evil acts. To the extent that proclivities are at least in part genetically influenced, it’s important to be aware of that heritage. Why? Because, as Jordan observed, and I remember it well during education, there’s a deeply held / taught assumption that EVIL is something in our past & that it’s faintly mad to label people or systems “evil”. I was never persuaded of this. I knew I carry the potential for evil inside me. That self awareness meant that I knew the claim that it’s only good vs bad that’s worth debating, not good vs evil, was at best misguided and was probably a deliberate lie. What does that imply about those in power? It signals that there’s evil in charge. And that’s what’s driving lies about climate & about covid / gene based “vaccines”. Evil.

Man, youve helped me through so much Dr Peterson. I went from being a homeless PTSD riddled drug addict spiralling into chaos with absolutely no view of the future to a strong father, studying psychology at university with an awesome job supporting autistic and schizophrenic adults. My life has absolutely turned upside down because I learned many very important lessons from you, the most important being that if I do not brave the unknown and throw myself out there and really try to turn everything around, then the chaos will swallow me whole. Its been a rough journey, and I am only 6 months clean after a 16 year addiction, but through you I learned that life is not worth living if it doesnt involve hardship, and that hardship is the universe (or gods) way of essentially chizzling away at me to create something stronger. Thank you so much man. I really hope you understand how much of a force of good you are to an unbelievable amount of people. The love that many have for you definitely outweighs the hate that others have for you.

Incredible.

The hardest part was realizing and accepting that i am and was kane. Now i feel like i can genuinely work to be like able. I had chills from the joy, and I've been sulking with remorse for who i was. Just pay attention. Take 100% accountability for your life. God is Good. You cant create your own Good. God wins every time. Put Goodness as your north star, and your path will be towards God.

I was almost 60 years old I first started listening to Jordan’s bible stories. Often, the emotions I felt when listening to him retelling & interpreting familiar stories I’d all but forgotten from my childhood (when bible teachings were a routine part of the English school curriculum) reduced me to tears. I’d been so long separated from the creator that when I started looking back over my life, I decided I’d allowed that separation. By coincidence, within a year, I felt called to service & back to faith. My life is more difficult yet more satisfying than it’s been in many decades.

I'm an atheist. But Peterson is one of the few thinkers that ignite a passion for ....thinking. What a pleasure to listen to a man who has spent a great deal of time working things out, and letting us listen in. He's smarter than I am, and never boring. He has shaken my view of religion. I'm still a non'believer, but he has shown my folly in ignoring the lessons to be learned by studying the stories of the Bible as Metaphor.

[@thetry7756]

Yeah I did not care about religon or mytholo either blinded as i was by my own arogance he really opened up my eyes. But if you are not believing in a higher "good" what is your meaning in life than ? - Really curious on how you view the world

[@lordnate2000]

The Try - I can't speak for Claude, but I am sort of coming from the same position. If you look at the seven deadly sins you can see easily how gluttony, lust, envy, etc can harm the sinner. Sin hurts the sinner sometimes socially, sometimes physically, and sometimes psychologically. Virtue on the other hand builds a person up. If you look at the seven heavenly virtues most are about self control which is a very useful skill. The meaning is to build a life you are satisfied with. Virtue will do that and sin will not. Sin can be pleasurable for a short period of time, but in the long run will lead to internal suffering. Exercising your mind is like exercising your muscles. Doing what is hard today will make you stronger tomorrow.

Agreed, it's hard to find anything 'wrong' with his arguments. I mean he basically obsesses about an idea and fine tunes it for years so it'd be a bit of a let down if u could poke holes at it within 10 seconds (which is still about 10 times longer than the average time it takes me to poke holes in most arguments I hear). Usually every argument I hear is transparent to me. For example I can tell what fundamental mistakes researchers have made on a thirty page paper within seconds (intuition I guess) - and I sort of got used not to be really intellectually challenged by 99% of people - included so called intellectuals. So this is a breadth of fresh air. Something really and truly original.

Professor Peterson is able to elucidate the tenets of the Bible in a level of abstraction that humanity is unable to even imagine possible in the tens of thousands of years when the first stories of the Bible was passed orally in campfires. It warms my heart, so to speak to see a number of atheists who are interested, resonate, or find themselves agreeing with or even waiting for Professor Peterson's Bible series lectures. Imagine what the world can be if priests and preachers spread Christianity or shared the Bible in this way, or at least is tilted in this direction, man. There will be a whole lot less whatever-phobic Christians, less division and/or discrimination, and more people would be sorted out instead of being repulsed by the creationist and archaic rhetoric, and that's huge, man. The modern man will rediscover one of the best tomes of knowledge that can lead one to living a life with a purpose (not in the dogmatic, religious sense), and that's no bloody joke, bucko!

[@russellpizel3750]

I think JP is approaching the Bible differently to Theologians. JP is finding bits of the Bible that agree with His world view. Theologians develop their world view from the whole Bible. Also JP seems to think that we thought the Bible up ("we eventually came up with the idea that..."). Theologians believe the Bible was given to us by God, through inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

[@khaii13]

Russell Pizel most theologians do agree that the Bible was written by many different people throughout time, but that it was "inspired by God" or "directed by God" or "moved by the hand of God". Growing up, I did question the "inconsistencies" to be found within the Bible, and I questioned many of the dogmatic beliefs of the faith, but could not turn my back to it completely. I think the Professor hit upon something when he said that the people who passed on these stories were acting things out long before they could abstract and verbally explain the meaning of the things they are acting out... And now we are living in times where, after thousands of years worth of maturation of the human psyche, these values and or discoveries of the highest order which we have acted out forever can be abstracted in such a way that encourages humanity to live up to his full potential (as God intended perhaps, and is my position since childhood) instead of being merely slavish God-dependents. I think Jordan B. Peterson is a (note I said "a", not "the") perfect vessel of our times to spread this message.

[@khaii13]

Jane Doe actually listen to the entire series. And try maps of meaning also. It's too long for someone who has no qualifications (not a theologian psychologists, philosopher) to explain in a single post.

[@khaii13]

Jane Doe a rock can either be a hammer, a killing weapon, or a stumbling block along your way (among other things) depending on how it is perceived. So too, the Bible (or any ancient work/mythology/literature). It seems your perspective is set. If the professor cannot even at least convince you to ease up on the cynicism, well then I don't stand a chance of even appealing to you to suspend disbelief and look at the Bible from a different perspective than the current ones you are viewing it with.

[@smackyay]

Jordan Pettersons approach is actually more of a psychological-theological approach. He references Dostojevski, Kierkegaard and Nietzsche many times over in his lectures. Something which is very common for theologians - in Europe at least, where also Peterson taught and was educated. I see Peterson's approach as a interdisciplinary approach, which isn't' new (think Jung fx) but is very refreshing nonetheless. Thank you for your comment, khaii13.

*As you said yourself Dr. Peterson, the Bible has a plot. The story of Abraham and Issac is one of the big "stories" of this plot.* 1. God commands Abraham to sacrifice his son Issac, Abraham obeys. 2. Issac asks his father where the sacrifice is while en-route to the mountain, Abraham says "God will provide the sacrifice". 3. Angel of God stops Abraham right before Issac is slain. 4. Nearby a lamb is caught in a bush/shrub. 5. Abraham uses the lamb for the sacrifice, thus setting the precedent for (later) Israel to use animal sacrifices instead of human, which was common back then. *6. Fast forward to the time of Christ.* 7. John the Baptist declares Jesus Christ the "Lamb of God". 8. Christ is executed (sacrificed) for the sins of all mankind, which ended the need to continue the practice of offering animal sacrifices. *The story of Abraham and Issac is a foreshadowing of God sending His son to make the ultimate sacrifice.*

[@theeggtimertictic1136]

And the thorny bush the lamb was caught in was echoed in the crown of thorns Jesus wore on the cross. Issac also carried the wood to be used for his demise the same way Jesus carried his cross.

[@erasalams61]

[@Vertutame]

Thinking about it If god is father of human Then the father is asking the child to kill what he loves most, his joy. He said this many times when it felt terrible when parent is asking their children to kill their joy "stop being so HAPPY" cause sacrifice is "you let the present happy go for the future"

[@britthill-noprodonwant6789]

And not only that, but the world has switched back to sacrificing people again: and the younger, the better, apparently. Lambs, in other words, just like you said. In regard to human sacrifice and "time", Jesus was indeed the 'firstborn amoung many brothers.' This, it is written, is the will of God. But i think that is God's own way of telling us that he knows the end from the beginning. So that has to do with time, again, right? So here's the deal: they still do sacrifices, only it's not lambs and its not to God. It's to the satan or, more accurately - as Dr. Peterson pointed out - it's to themselves. Of themselves, to themselves. And they don't do sheep anymore, oh no. Night, with its darkness has come, just as Jesus said it would. Because all the sacrifices are children. Think about this: Firstborn amoung many brothers? How is that even possible? If you have many brothers and are born "among" those brothers, you're not the firstborn then, you can't be. And besides that, there were child sacrifices BEFORE Jesus' time, so wouldn't they be firstborn - with regard to both birthday and day of sacrifice? If, as Dr. JP implies, Abraham is the father of the Jews because he switched them over to animals instead of human beings (which makes complete sense, btw, i mean-you know-what's the difference between a Hebrew, a Jew and an Israelite? Answer: child sacrifice. The first WILL sacrifice a child, the second WON'T sacrifice a child (meaning all the people from abraham to jacob and everyone of the Hebrews and/or slaves or servants in their households, that "converted" to sheep as well as the inherent associations with a shepherd's caste - something the Egyptians and other nations despise as a very lowly, impoverished, filthy caste to this day...), and the last one IS that child. No. God knew what he was doing and why, from the get. Dr JP didn't mention this, perhaps because it hasn't occured to him yet, but childhood is the one reason Jesus is ours, and not the savior of the fallen angels. Our Lord. Not Lord of the angels, but our Angel of the Lord. It's why he called himself the Son of Man and not the only begotten Son of God, even though he was that, he didnt say he was. Because he was ours, not God's. Growing up from infancy, no matter what you're made of - animal, vegetable, mineral, or spiritual Being manifested directly from abstact, conceptual Thought - i think maybe puts you squarely on the human's side of the tracks. Which puts God, with all his angels, fallen or not, as well as his adam and eve, on the other. He did not call himself the son of adam, because he was related to US more than he was to adam. Which means we, likewise, are more like HIM than we are those two....hmm. Also, he did not call himself the son of man; he called himself the son of Man. Why? What's the difference? I think it's very simple: God, in his wisdom, created a man, calling him adam (which sounds like adamah, the hebrew word for the ground, earth). But God's Son, in his wisdom, WAS and IS a man, calling himself the Son of Man, which - since he is the Word of God, by calling himself the Son of Man - he BECAME Immanuel, i.e. God with us. It wasn't his name, it was what he was DOING, making a new creation from the Word of God; the one other thing, besides dying on a cross/tree, that he was born to do...become a Man. That's it! It's like i just said: He's OURS. And he's ours because of the practices of the nicolatians, because sacricing children was going to become rampant again, and because the experience of childhood was something he now shared with us, bound him to us and us to him and created a new thing under the sun, and he spoke it of himself, in the flesh. Then he died and when he rose again on the 3rd day he did, in fact, rise 'firstborn among many brothers'. Not because he was born first though. It's because they all died when they were children, in their childhood and even beCAUSE of their childhood, yes? But Jesus was about 33 when he was sacrificed, he'd become a Man. So, the reason he can be the firsyborn among many brothers who were born first is because hes the oldest of all of them. And he is counted among them because they're the reason he came and the good news is God's own Word that no one has to make a blood sacrifice to draw near to God ever again anymore and the work of the Lord is to believe thst and to spread the news of Jesus' sacrifice is waaayy more than sufficient to cover the wages of sin. He is the Lamb of God and the Good Shepherd of every child lost in this unendurable, unspeakable way of worshipping God. God had had enough of it. Jesus' crucifixion was God saying he ould tolerate No More Mistakes in this area. From Able to Abraham i think he forgave those who sincerely believed it was the best way of proving their faith in him and he hated it worse than any other thing they did, including sin. But after Jesus sacrifice, there is no nature of sinfulness that will excuse it, and no amount of righteous action will make up for it. This is 'the Abomination that causes Desolation, standing in the holy place' that grieves the heart of God. E And though Jesus was an adult when he was crucified, he truly was the Lamb of God, i think, and as such, he was without sin, and as pure and innocent as the children he came for. Jesus is ours because we too were children.... (no peace💘)

That's viable, but not the standard thing people refer to for religion. Religion as it's often understood is inseparable from dogma. Too much order. Too highly structured. Jesus doesn't like this religion. He says that that's not what he's after, but if you must have one, let it be in serving the hopeless.

I was very fortunate to catch Dr. P on Joe Rogan. A bit late to the party but extremely glad to have made it. The amount of good will these guys are propagating through societies fabric is worth every dollar they've made and deserve, many times over at that. The IDW, these lectures, Joe and his podcasts, it's inspiring to see a following for this type of content and to see guys like this become successful. Kindles hope for a future each one of us can be proud of and if you hate on that then, well, you truly are a miserable, suffering thing. Much love to my fellow lobsters out there. IDW FTW!

Cain and Abel were the sons of god and Eve. Seth is the 1st born of Adam and Eve. In the secret book of John(a Christ knowledge gospel), Christ says in the long version that god was ignorant and angry, so he took(raped) Eve to try to make an eternal child. He could not. Instead came evil twins, Cain-murderer. Abel-taunting teaser. SO YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME HU? Read Geneses ch 4. 1st let's get one thing straight. When a woman is saying that somebody HELPED her to make a baby, she is saying only one thing. Gen ch 4; "And Eve said, I HAVE PRODUCED A MAN WITH THE AID OF JEHOVAH".

When I went through my divorce, I had a hard time with leaving my children. My role as a father had completely changed and I was very resentful and angry from it, really hurt. It made me act in ways I never thought I could. I had practically abandoned my children. I was obviously being unfaithful to God by acting that way, hurting my children and destroying myself as well. I read the story of Abraham and Isaac and something clicked. I had to sacrifice my children to God (actually my ideal of fatherhood and my role in their life). In other words, I put faithfulness to God above my ideal of fatherhood. I humbled myself and accepted my new role and have faithfully been the best father I can be for them ever since. The Bible really helps me reconcile my thoughts and emotions and spirituality with my actions. I praise the Lord for it.

Truely the most important thing i learned from Buddhism

[@sirquaffler542]

Exactly. Many years ago I was in terrible existential suffering because I kept doggedly pursuing a perceived goal that was destroying my life without me knowing it, all the while failing time and time again and telling myself I would succeed if I just did this one thing or another different. I had to be brought to my absolute lowest state before I was finally willing to let go of that goal and rid myself of those presuppositions that had brought me to that point of wretchedness. It was at that point that I was finally willing to listen to what God was telling me the whole time and obey Him. And my life has done a complete 180 because of that act of faith. Praise be to God Almighty.

Please pray and ask the Lord Jesus to reveal Himself and His will to you, the Bible says.. In the mouth of two or three witnesses.. God will comfirm his message to you in many ways to make sure you are not mistaken. I will pray also for you.
