Interesting posts. Just pondering further on them. I get to the conclusion it's even worse then I thought at first.
Peterson takes Christ out of Christianity.
He sounds like a jew, who wants the rest of the people to behave like his view of good Christians. So while he sits at the table the Jews drinking and eating and laughing.
The goy should work hard. Clean their room. Don't steal. Be good boys. Say no to pronouns. If they are being treated bad, they turn the other cheek. I have a similar problem with the 12 step groups which are using the teachings of Christ but are taking Christ out of the equation.
Christ is everything, taking Christ out, is dark. It's body without a soul.
Giving these teachings: Just do some things that Christ said and you'll feel better. How can you reduce Christ to 12 rules?
That's wrong. That's dark. That's evil.
Without God, without Christ there is just rules and the rich rabbis at the table above are telling you what to do. Which rules to follow.
We have a non-Christian telling young boys on Christian "values". What is that? Does Christ talk about moral values? Christ asks us to follow him. Fully. Peterson is turning Christ into a law of his understanding. Which is the opposite of following Christ.
@Uzisuicide You criticize referring to the Jewish connection, but I suggest you open your eyes. Peterson eats and drinks with the Jews. And speaks their language. The most powerful ones on earth. And he is not converting them like Jesus.
Taking Christ out. Reducing Christ to some "teachings" to make you psychologically feel better.
I notice this gets me very passionate and that's because I have been led astray personally by these many of these deceivers. For a long long period of time I have thought the bible is just a bunch of stories, with a lot of wisdom, and that I should read it, just as I read Nietzsche, or Aristotle or Plato. Just a smart philosopher with a following.
My conversion came when I stopped reducing Christ to his (by myself) abstracted teachings.
Christ is the son of God. Christ is God. Getting to know the man Christ. Starting to see Christ as my friend. Someone close to me. A father and friend. Seeing the divine wisdom in this friend. Understanding that there is 1 truth only. And that's him. Someone who I can ask complex problems too. Learning to discern. Seeing Christ hanging at the cross daily. Seeing Christ be born as a baby. Receiving the eucharist.
Peterson. False prophet. Telling lies. And yes there might be someone who hears his words and receives the grace of belief after. But it's as ridiculous of honoring rapists, thieves and murderers.
