@in777sight and that's why men need to rule Nations.. Because at some point, the loving bleeding hearted liberal emotionality of the female is a liability to the community

[@michaelnewman6936]

@in777sight first of all, many of the rulers in question were part of Kingdoms that fell.. And women who are good in war and super aggressive are the exception, not the rule. Statistically speaking. I believe the numbers are only women in the 85th percentile of aggressiveness and disagreeable attitudes would overlap with men in the 50 percentile range.. so every single individual at the most aggressive and most disagreeable end of the Spectrum, which is the precise attitude a war leader would need to take, are all men without exception. That's simply statistics. Biology. Evolution

[@michaelnewman6936]

@in777sight give me the tldr summary

[@michaelnewman6936]

@in777sight of course there are tons of numericals in the biblical scriptures.. Not the least of which is the age of Abraham when he left home, or when he died.. Or the amount of cubits that measures the breadth of Heaven itself.. You are either being deceptive, or you are ignorant of the true stories..

1:13 and Sarah laughed. I turned 43 and after several miscarriages, threw away all my baby and pregnancy books. I remembered that particular part. About Sarah laughing. I felt just like that at the thought of having a child. But I got pregnant and carried it to term. God's still up to old tricks, it seems.

@ having gone through some thing similar to her it seemed to me that once we resigned to the fact we might not be having a second kid that we could pregnant. I've heard similar tales. Psycholigally thst coukd be equalled to letting it to God. If one chooses to look at it that way.

Check out Brian Hardin with the daily audio bible. He frames difficult biblical texts within an intimate relationship between a parent and child. When you question why would such an awful story be in the bible it's because the offender did something rash, without consulting God, or without thinking of the future consequences.

We all have a responsibility to each other to be better towards each other, as well as ourselves to be as Good as we can be. Kindness begets Kindness, Respect begets Respect, Compassion begets Compassion, Courage begets Courage. Existence is a shit sandwich and we all have to take a bite, no matter how you slice it.

[@claudiadickerman4218]

Wonderful Sister! I just hit age 70 and I too spent my life "sleepwalking" as I look back. I never denied God, and when I was in my early teens I was going to an Evangelical church and youth group. I made the decision to ask Jesus to be my Lord and I asked to be baptized. I believe I was saved at that moment. I also believe that because of the times and because I had no discipleship mentors, the demonic powers saw me as an easy target and came swooping that same year before I could really develop or learn to trust the Lord. The next four decades of my life I was totally lost and basically a waste case or train wreck whichever describes that time best. But Jesus is faithful, and when I finally came to my lowest point of despair, I called out to him, he heard, and he lifted me out of that black pit and since that very moment of humility and submission and desperate admissions of failure on my part, all of that wasted time began to heal the wounds of my soul and even mended some broken relationships and also gave me a whole NEW family of true followers of Jesus. It is amazing what individual programs God foreknew each of his human creations were going to live out and how he waits lovingly for us to come to him for the answers and the cleansing of our mistakes and regrets so that we can have peace and joy. In the hyper world which is the present, I don't know if I would choose to stay alive or not, and I can see how some people with no hope and no forgiveness are just overwhelmed at the state of things and choose to end their lives. I pray for anyone in that frame as but for the grace of the Lord, I too would be still lost. I do hope Jordan has had the Holy Spirit ZAP him while he has been studying the bible and being with those who are true believers......he is an intellectual for sure and especially in the fields he took interest in , it must be hard to submit to God.

That question at the end was superb. He formulated into words what I've been struggling with myself when reading the classics. I think when Carl Jung says "beware of unearned wisdom" and when the Buddha says the only path to the middle way is through experience of unhealthy extremes. It becomes hard to integrate the ideas into your character without feeling like a fraud because you haven't yet experienced the situations in which you deserve to have that wisdom.

[@Huiothesia]

I wouldn't say so much it's a problem of feeling like a fraud, although for some it may, I think what would likely happen (from experience and retrospect of using hallucinogenics for example) is that one builds up a toxic level of arrogance and pride based on something which doesn't even exist. We have 34 year old men and women who walk around calling themselves "old souls" (not that an unspiritual view of the term is incorrect) believeing themselves to even sometimes be thousands of years old and much wiser than the common man. I wonder what that kind of belief does to the inner life of a person? One of the core aspects of their identity (not just the belief of being an old soul but any unearned wisdom) is a toxic fabrication of their mind. We have a person who innately believes by their intrinsic nature they are a more advanced kind of person and opened up to divine revelation without the balance of the true divine (regardless of what your belief system is) to humble them in receiving that impartation. And now how are they going to interact with others and the world around them?

[@reverendrico5631]

Actually I have a pretty good idea of why lot offered his daughters over a stranger. Hospitality isn't just an idea, a kindness, it's a duty. It is the duty that formed the foundation of all human trade and diplomacy. In most ancient kingdoms, to take someone into your home, under your roof, to feed and shelter them for a night, was a oath. It was an oath none would forgive breaking. It isn't just that the gods won't forgive your breaking of this oath, they will hate you for breaking this oath. In essence, it would be a more forgivable misdeed to allow your family to be harmed than a guest, unless that guest was to try and harm your family. I suspect it is because protecting your family is an expectation, you don't get to brag about it as you are supposed to do it. With a guest, you chose to take on that responsibility.

[@Future_looksbright]

I have to remind myself this is a psychological perspective not a theological study. I have been studying theology for few years now and this is something entirely different. However, this is about the best secular understanding from a psychological standpoint that I have ever heard. Jordan is a very unique man and I am grateful to have him in our generation. From a practical standpoint I have learned so much from him and have implemented many of his thoughts into my everyday life and I am better for it, and so are those around me. This cannot be a replacement for theology though and a proper understanding of the Bible. You have to incorporate the two.

[@keithwilliams8342]

I think he is making the case for the psychological significance of tye bible, which is exactly why the bible is valid, deity not with standing. Which one could argue is a proof FOR religion.

Simple way to state a loving thought and I agree with you.

[@kimmiewise1044]

Exactly, and this is why an Atheist such as myself and agree with everything Peterson says in these lectures without being converted to the Western religion and why I always facepalm at the fundamentalists in these comments talking about how Peterson is being saved doing these lectures. He doesn't even outwardly identify as a Christian, how doesn't even profess a belief in God or Christ as literal entities. He is doing a psychological analysis of a book. He's done the same for Pinocchio and made some excellent arguments for its cultural significance but you wouldn't say that Peterson believes in and worships the Blue Fairy because he analyzed the psychological significance of Pinocchio. You can agree with the meaning of a text without taking that text literally. It's so sad that most can't understand what Peterson is saying about religion as a psychological phenomena backed up by evolution, evidence and science. This isn't Sunday school, this is academic work and it's far more than what your average preacher does on Sundays.

Dr Peterson said he like personal human antidotes. My brother was never religious far from it. He was a confirmed atheist. His life style from teen age on was rebellious. A Party boy, drugs, alcohol and free sex. He became a punk rocker. He even was a room mate of Courtney Love-Cobain. He continued in his down ward spiral. He was deforced with a child. He depended on alcohol and his parents until he was 42. When they passed way. I told him your on your own. You better figure this out. He was slowly gravitating to Christianity before the parents passed away but still had the alcohol problem. When the passed and gave him the tuff love message he needed. He turned his life around and remarried with my approval. He knew I would not approve if he was going to destroy another woman’s life. Since then he became a minister and pastor of a small congregation. I never gave up hope, prayed for and God answers. Sometimes some people have to hit bedrock or bottom of the abyss to figure out life. The find there is only one way out of the pit. It is to climb up and reach to the heaven for an answer.

[@jakemartens5311]

Honestly I think your brother realised the kingdom of god is before him and your brother answered. Like a doctor realises the kingdom of god is before them so they sacrifice a life in their early 20s and 30s to save the lives of others in the same age group decades later; the doctors answer in this instance not god themself. idk i think the distinction is important because otherwise for all the tradies that occur one could say god didn't answer, which i dont think is the case

[@nothingbutthetruth3227]

[@chrisofnottingham]

[@ObserverDingue]

I had the exact same question at that point in his lecture. I thought two things: 1) it is always possible that Peterson is fallible or that the manner in which he makes a point can be vague as it's done on the hoof to a certain extent. He's human after all so he has his own idea and chooses his own words. If he were making that point in a book he might edit it (as he described his writing process in an earlier lecture in this series) whereas on stage he is, to some extent free-wheeling along. And 2) maybe you and I are being too vague in our response and ignoring some aspect of the context of the squirrels' storage activity. In a spirit of cooperation I'm going with 2 although it's possible that in writing this idea down Peterson would modify his words a bit. So when the squirrels bury some nuts to eat in the future winter are they making a sacrifice? It's possible that they are not (and thus Peterson's statement stands): there are so many nuts in the autumn that the ones the squirrels store away hardly constitute a sacrifice, a denial of eating. They can, and do, stuff themselves with nuts when they are abundant. So the storing away for the future winter is not a sacrifice.... it's a supplemental activity based upon an abundance. You can still argue that the labour of this activity is a sacrifice (they could lie down with their fat bellyful of nuts and have a snooze) but they are not sacrificing today's gratification as they've eaten their fill in any case. Peterson's point was that humans are unique in sacrificing the present for the sake of the future. It's a concept that I'll look out for in other lectures, maybe he returns to it and expands upon it. Everything has its grey areas and fuzzy boundaries. Especially squirrels! How have the intervening 2 years treated you John? Well I hope.
