Cain and Able was about murder and jealousy not human sacrifice for a greater good, WTF? Human sacrifice is horrid and immoral and yet its the foundation of a religion of people who eagerly engaged in genocide and slavery. Even to this day, these people believe that they alone are blessed by God and all others can be sacrificed. Its now on TV with a title of "Shock and Awe," human sacrifice to go with your TV dinner. Peterson is a loony person who talks very well and sprinkled in his nonsense are what sound like bits of wisdom, but his wisdom is linked to nonsense therefore its worthless. The poor man's intellectual, babbling for bucks as people don't stop be critical of the words, but swallow the nonsense like tasty candy coated poison. When humans get rid of fairy tales and superstition we can grow, until then we are pawns in a game of a global Cain and Able warfare of who has the best fairy tale.

You'll not be persecuted ever by helping the less fortunate, doing unto others, loving our neighbor, being the Good Samaritan ... ask yourself why satan doesn't even bother to attack such people? *"We suffer along with him as we transform our lives, our being, on a lifelong journey toward theosis, where we become fully Christ-like.

God became man to be the perfect sacrifice, so we be covered by *HIS* robe of righteousness, not our filthy one. *"If you think the point is to make a one-time mental assent to belief and going on cruise control till you die, you've missed the whole point."* Usual strawman argument of work-based salvationists. I'm talking about preaching the gospel! not about doing nothing! You can do charity all you want, but who will it save if you don't preach the gospel! I opposed *work-based salvation,* and you opposed me ... so what does this mean? What do you trust in for entering heaven? Do you think you have to be good enough? stay good enough? endure to the end? Can you lose salvation? *"Anyone can say they believe.

@@nicolas9533 Yes, and our good works are described in the Bible as 'filthy rags', for the purpose of illustrating that God IS and HAS everything - He needs nothing from us. Jesus has paid the wages for our sin IN FULL. We need Him. It is inappropriate to think that our good works can pay for salvation. To think of our deeds deserving salvation is like wearing clean clothes an unwashed body (appearance of salvation only). Good works issue from Christ's atoning work in us and the Holy Spirit indwelling. They are for the purpose of convicting others of the love and mercy of God in the good work of his son, Jesus.

@@godzoo18 Actually, his intellect and wisdom is a gift and I think he knows that his personal sacrifice is to offer these gifts back to God which may seem terrifying to him, and tantamount to great loss, but the reality is more abundance and depth and spiritual connection with his creator. It is in giving that which we hold most dear that we receive back in abundance - it starts as sacrifice but it ends up with one’s cup running over in blessing. It is no coincidence that he turned to studying the Bible - Maybe just to dip into it and explore initially and use it in his lectures, but then he kept stumbling across great wisdom and analogies of the human condition which he has observed first hand, and which is essentially fallen. In his profession he has seen at first hand the suffering that sin has on people. He is overwhelmed sometimes with the grief he has witnessed, the hopelessness that many people suffer - he can only help to a point - but ultimately all roads are leading him to Jesus, who is the redeemer of our sinful nature and our only true hope this side of eternity.

The people who are most afraid and fear death are the ones with the most weapons and are mostly religious. Also, religious following is based MOSTLY on where you are born, the culture and family to which you are born, and at what time in history that you are born. West of India most people worship a type of God, east of India, religions are mostly about control of ones self and inner peace. People spend more time deciding which car to drive than they do which religion to follow. Of course YOUR RELIGION, the one that you were randomly born into, is the correct religion... you're not alone on that thought. It is possible to live a long happy life with no religion at all. In fact the longest living people the world, those that live in Hong Kong, Japan, Macao, Switzerland, and Singapore, have no religion at all. If you need religion to survive then that is based on what influences you have allowed to enter your brain. The Bible is full of slavery, incest, murder, rape and human sacrifice. It would seem that we would live together better, and with more kindness, without all of that violence as a basis for belief.

Wait a minute, if Jesus never dies, then where was the sacrifice? God, kills thousands of people in the Bible, he destroys cities, floods the world all trying to make people be as they are not designed to be. Yet, God also allows, slavery, rape, incest, murder, pedophilia and adultery when needed? When that doesn't work God sacrifices his son or a manifestation of himself to forgive everyone for every sin that they commit from now until the end of time. Yet in reality, what religion you have is based more on when, where, and what culture you were born to, than any level of free will to "decide" on a religion, which few people do. There is little or no free will, as seen in the type of food you eat at certain times of day. Even your meals are based in culture. So now we have human sacrifice for forgiveness of being ourselves?

[@schafvonjuda9603]

Maybe It's the reason why they gave sacrifices to God that made the difference. Maybe Abel sacrificed because he was thankful, so he wanted to praise God, but in the other hand Cain sacrificed, so he could get something in return. That's an interesting point of view when we think about God's grace in Christ. You see, salvation is a free gift from God obtained by faith alone. "By grace through faith ye are saved". I really don't like it when people look at Christians who try to live godly, and then they make comments like: "You only avoid sin because you are afraid to go to hell". First of all, if you know a little bit about the Bible and the gospel of Jesus, you know that we are saved by grace. It's a free gift. Nothing one do or don't do can add or take away from that. Nothing. "If you believe in your heart that Christ is lord, and that he died and that god rose him from the dead, and you confess ith with thy mouth, you will be saved." This verse is pretty clear in my opinion. I don't do good works and sacrifices like fasting to be saved. No! I am already saved, and because I know that, I do sacrifices so I show my thankfulness, and also to be a light for others. Jesus himself said:" Let your light so shine before man, so that they see your good works and glorify your father which is in heaven." I guess that was the difference with cain and Abel, or maybe one of the many differences, the story is so deep it's unimaginable. God bless whoever reading this, and may he lead you to the truth, in Jesus Name we pray, Amen.

I really like that you said we have to often SACRIFICE what things we love and are holding onto in order to move forward. Along these lines, I have found there to be a very strong COUNTER-INTUITIVE aspect to God's Nature, so that we gain by sacrificing something. It's like when I had to clean a storage unit. At first it was too painful to get rid of anything.

I’ve been following this guy for a little while now. He’s been a nice kick in the pants. I’m also 57 years old. I was an abused boy. I stayed a boy for many years and now I’m fully a man. I moved cross country during the pandemic to Los Angeles. To build my life as a professional actor and also I help people in a professional mentoring business. If you’re around my age and you’re listening to Jordan Peterson and sometimes you can get a little dismayed you did not wake up until you did. He does tend to vilify people who don’t take responsibility for themselves before they’re the age of 40. Some of us didn’t even know it was possible. The point is work with where you’re at. That’s all you can do. And then take his teachings and go forth as clearly as you can. But do not be dismayed. He can sometimes have that ricochet effect.

[@sylviehassessian9173]

I respect you Mr. Peterson for your attempt to bring people into awareness of moral matters. In this case, I can't help saying, cut the rhetoric. God receives animal sacrifices as a confession of man stating that he is a sinner who takes the lives of those to whom God has given life. Acknowledging ones sinful nature before a merciful God is to receive His mercy and to be granted life. God rejected Cain's sacrifice because it did not acknowledge his sinful nature. Any man who denies his sins, his deeds will prove him evil before God who judges. Once God judges a man it marks him for all eternity. Jesus was sent to be the sacrificial Lamb as a one time sacrifice for all men, so whosoever confesses that the sinless died for his sins, he should be saved.

@Sylvie Hassessian, I admire you Syvie , because as a woman you have a good knowledge of the bible, but Abel is not as evil as Cain, though he has a sinful nature after the Fall of his parents Adam and Eve because he is truly the son of God, while Cain is not the son of God, but the son of the devil... He is offspring of the Serpent and Eve when the Serpent tempted Eve... The actual sin of Eve is adultery... and Cain is the son of the Serpent which is (Lucifer). The serpent was not a snake... It only became a snake after God cursed him to crawl on the dust... Here is the description of Lucifer in Ezekiel 28:12-15 (NKJV) “You were the seal of perfection, Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. 13 You were in Eden, the garden of God; Every precious stone was your covering: The sardius, topaz, and diamond, Beryl, onyx, and jasper, Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold. The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes Was prepared for you on the day you were created. 14 “You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones. 15 You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, Till iniquity was found in you.

@@reynaldodavid2913 that is complete and total speculation which you have no real evidence for.

It does, as Jordan says, involve sacrifice but it's only the sacrifice of ego and that's something to be desired. Ultimately, your sacrifice has been made for you already by Jesus and in that union, where we die and live as he is in this world, lies the fulfillment which is beyond compare. When everybody is somebody, nobody is anybody.

And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother’s righteous. Proverbs 21:27 (NKJV) The sacrifice of the wicked [is] an abomination; How much more [when] he brings it with wicked intent! As written, Cain was wicked. It wasn’t about WHAT he sacrificed. It was about the condition of his heart.

For me Jesus the sacrifice is secondary to the fact first Jesus chose to give his physicality on the cross. He was not forced in any way. The sacrificial point was choice because without choice there would no sacrifice on the cross. Choice is then reproduced by the fact that salvation can only be gained by choice. It cannot to robbed, bought or taken. It can only be received. That's a phenomenon in it's self.

It is misguided to speak like they are serperated, or even sequential. Also, if you truely are a believer then you need to understand that the Bible as the Word of God has an Old and New testament for a reason. The Old paints pictures, metaphores and foreshadowings, that inform the articulation and direct speaking of the New Testament, but it is one speaking and is one Word. Christ did not replace the OT law, He fulfilled it so that He could be to us the reality of the law, because we could not and cannot meet the requirements of the law. All the sacrifices layed out in the law as given to Moses, relate is some way to the fullness of what Christ is to us, as NT believers. Today we don't need to sacrifice bulls, birds or anything else because Christ is the only sacrifice that eternally pleases the rightous requirement of the Father, thus the requirement of the law.

God does not require sacrifice. The idea of sacrifice creates a fear of God, which is antithetical to what He is. If God is Love then one does not reach Him by love's opposite. The only thing that is "sacrificed" as we return to Him is our illusions about God, ourselves, and each other, and to sacrifice illusions is to sacrifice nothing.

[@-mg-max-]

Love comes with its own twin Fear... a mother who loves her child will be very fearful for the child's safety. Whatever you love defines your fear(s), conversely whatever you fear is related to what you love/seek. How can one love God and not fear letting God down!? Unless you believe God does not expect anything from you! Opposite of Love is not Fear as you say, perhaps Hate is more relevant but when you examine opposite of Fear: 1- Kids think the opposite of Fear is Courage 2- In Stock-Market Fear is opposite of Greed 3- Christians believe Fear is opposite of Love 4- In Islam Fear/Despair is opposite of Hope So Christians take that from reading John 4:18... "There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love." However this verse is compatible with the idea that if you Love God you won't be afraid of anything worldly and conversely if you love the world, you neither fear letting God down nor fear his promised punishment in hell. I go with the definition of Islam though as I find it more accurate. Indeed if you Love God then you MUST also be afraid to let God down. In this sense you need to keep your soul in the sweet spot between both fear and hope and this is a healthy spot too when you think about it. You are never sure of yourself to become arrogant and you are never so hopeless to lose faith altogether. Note that in Islam not every phenomenon is part of a "duality in opposition" as in Yin & Yang, nope, there is such a thing as "duality in unity" as well, and so the Greek philosophy of "moderation between two extremes" is not always correct. When we're dealing with duality in unity we have to understand one side is just a mental shadow and so does not even exist, this is حق and باطل, translations online don't do justice.

Yet we can return to what is true by following God’s Voice back to Him.

If the purpose of your sacrifice is to take pride in your achievements, it's the same kind of sinful sacrifice that Cain made. People will give things up, they will pray and they will fast but they won't simply come to Jesus to receive of Him. The only pleasing thing to God that He wants is for us to believe on the efficasy of the sacrificial blood of His Son Jesus Christ. Abel knew this and offered a blood sacrifice, a foreshadowing of the Christ that was to come to pour out His blood for the sins of the whole world. In effect, people say, "Oh no, Lord! Although Your word specifically states that we must believe on Christ alone, I want to prove You wrong and show You that I can be accepted by You by the things I give up for You. You see, I really am not sinful at all. If I apply myself to it, I can be really humble and kind. I really am worthy of Your forgiveness." 😐 Never by the works of self righteousness. Only by faith in the grace of God.

[@kosherdad2364]

1 John 3:11-12 (NKJV) 11 For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another, 12 not as Cain [who] was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother’s righteous. Proverbs 21:27 (NKJV) The sacrifice of the wicked [is] an abomination; How much more [when] he brings it with wicked intent! As written, Cain was wicked. It wasn’t about WHAT he sacrificed. It was about the condition of his heart. This is completely aligned with what is arguably Christ’s primary message: It has ALWAYS been about the condition of your heart and your relationship with Him.

Dear Dr Peterson, I appreciate your teachings but I want to give you the background and real meaning of sacrifice. In hebrew the word sacrifice is korban . The word for gift is korbana. The root word korab which means draw near. God does not want death of animals or gifts. He wants us to draw near to Him as He is to us. He is not only out there in heaven but here in us . He gave us Jesus as a gift to bring us closer to Him. The nearer we get to Him, the less we desire sin because He fulfills us. Jesus is the sacrifice that keeps us close to God.

I think you are missing an important element of this story: Cain was a farmer, Abel a Shepard. Cain's 'sacrifice' or offering would have been grain, perhaps in the fashion of the ancient Egyptians yearly offering to the gods Osiris (barley, wheat and millet) or Min (wheatgrass). Abel's sacrifice would have been a lamb, in the fashion of the ancient Jews (Moses). What you will notice in Adam and Eves expulsion from Eden, God removes there clothing made from fig leaves and dresses them in animal skins, the tree of life becomes forgotten and through the generations man's lifespan becomes shorter and shorter (Noah lives for around 900 years, Abraham 120). What Adam and Eve consumed in Eden was a vegetarian diet, like in Buddhism and Hinduism and you will notice that Budda was enlightened under a 'bhodi' tree, the tree of enlightenment; a fig tree. (The tree of knowledge that was forbidden to Adam and Eve). The tree of life was likely the pine tree, considering the ancient buddist practice of eating pine needles to preserve their body and chanting prayers in the forest before crossing over.
