God is a spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” - John 4:24
Romans 1:20- His invisible qualities are clearly seen from the worlds creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable. ✨💜
It wasn’t until I found myself hitting rock bottom in my relationship, finances, and life that I turned to god.
I’m 27 years old and it wasn’t until about a year ago that I started going to church.
It has helped me become a better person, and I’m grateful for that, wether god exists or not.
Same here, had an existential crisis after being used by “friends” for $ and time when their main friends were being used and then I found out I was the backup 🤦🏼♂️ plan on going to church soon regularly as well. It’s always good to remember even if there’s no God live like there is one because it doesn’t hurt to. Much love brother
@@Jesse30621 thank you, likewise brother
I'm 23 and had the same thing, I was raised Christian and chose to do wrong on my own free will but God was always there cause when I called on him he came to comfort me with opened arms.
@@HqrvqrdDropOut thank you for sharing
Best of luck
earth is flat .
sun is heaven
God speaks when you get goosebumps and hear a voice speaking to you.
you can talk to God by talking to the fire aka candle
gods son threw out quarantine and stoped the production of the virus
he's gonna find the cure in a few years
if you wondering who is gods son talk to the fire and ask him for a vision
he will be in the news in a few years
wait for him
God is definitely the Meta but He’s also more than that. I’ve seen Him do things in my life that I can’t explain. He lives in us, guides us, and uses us to make things better if we have Him in our hearts.
This whole spiritual plane/dimension thing is hard to explain because I know it’s there. I’ve seen it in action in my life. But you won’t be able to measure it in the way people think things should be measured.
Truth
@Andrew Sewell It's impossible to find God when you think you know everything and have all the answers like you obviously do. Like the OP's experience, God has similarly unequivocally proven His existence to me through a sequence of supernatural events that were unique and personal to me. It's different for every person, the only commonality is that we were all seeking God. If there's one thing you should understand about God, it is this: He wants to know who actually wants to seek Him and who wants to remain in the world, which is why He is never going to just present Himself out of nowhere to the whole world. That isn't the point of this world, He wants to know who WANTS to seek Him and be reconciled with Him. There is plenty of evidence for His existence if you can unplug from Satanic atheism and its pseudo-scientific components.
@Andrew Sewell if you want a personal answer thats just for you pray with an open heart and ask and repent, everything you just said will be flipped around dramatically and youll be amazed with what youll find waiting for you that the natural world cannot explain.
The guy never claimed to know everything. That's just you projecting. The questions he asked are perfectly valid. You dont just get to say you have seen God working in tour life and expect people to believe you without providing evidence. There are literally thousands of religions and each one has people saying that if you follow the rules you'll see that their God is the correct one. Every single religion is just as convinced as the next that they know the "real god".
The fact is you know nothing about God, you think you do.... but you have no way of sufficiently demonstrating that God is who you say he is amoral what exactly he wants. Ironically you are the who thinks you no more than the atheists do because the atheists dont claim to know anything about God, but you if course are special, and have found the answer to the biggest question weve ever encountered. And all you have is warm fuzzy feelings and claims that you cannot back up or prove.
@@brianbridges8124 in the pursuit of God the warm fuzzy feelings are not what we rely on, the fundamental change at the core of who we are is the representation of the change we have through Christ. I went from a drug addicted, porn watching, lying, stealing, i mean the list goes on. I have been changed 110% into a person who holds God and Christ near and dear to myself, because i have developed and can personally testify to the relationship and supernatural ability to overcone through grace the sin that had devoured me. That is my proof of God ,and if you need your own proof then sit down shut your door. Open your heart, and PRAY for it. I bet my life that you will have an experince at some point that will take the darkness out of your vision and nothing will ever be the same, you will find something and it will change your entire life, but theres also alot you would to have to give up. And its all our attachments to sin and everything we think we know.
In short: we were built by Him for Him, and without Him we are nothing, possessing zero transcendent purpose beyond our limited life.

Hello does anyone here need any prayer?
@@connorlancaster7541 always, mostly for friends and family. What can I pray over for you?
@@mysterycomment1553 why “meh”? I wanna hear your thoughts
praise be to GOD
🇱🇻✝️🙏🏻
I feel God's presence, creator of Jesus and other prophets and last of them Muhammad, everyday espiecially during praying
@@syedbaqir2687 my friend, Jesus isn’t just another prophet. That is where Muslims will fall short on Judgment Day.
If Jesus didn’t claim to be God, as Muslims teach, then why did the Jews indict Him on charges of blasphemy?
The following is from John 8:
Jesus replied, “If I glorify myself, my glory means nothing. My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies me. 55 Though you do not know him, I know him. If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and obey his word. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.”
57 “You are not yet fifty years old,” they said to him, “and you have seen Abraham!”
58 “Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!” 59 At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds.
@@syedbaqir2687 Muhammad isn't a prophet. He himself thought the Quran was being given to him from Satan/Shaytan. He performed no miracles. He murdered people. He raped people. Come on man, use your brain. I love muslims, but islam is evil and has misled many souls.
@@M-pk5qn why are you lying. Are you afraid of day of judgement ? Dont talk to me like use ur brain when you yourself dont.
How did prophet Muhammad (S) then knew about orbital decay , universe expanding, mountains have roots, etc ?
He never said that , secondly in Quran Allah (God) is warning of devil (father of all satans called iblis) to be human biggest enemy and invite people to worhsip one God. Satan will never say that.
He did perform miracle. Look at the moon, He halfed the moon in 2 pieces and now we know that there is a scar in the moon and also one side of moon right now is shrinking more than the other.
He never killed anyone except 1 person during war.
@@syedbaqir2687 Muhammad is a false prophet who is dead. You follow the dead it's simple my friend. Jesus said let the dead bury the dead. He also said I am the way the truth and the life, NO man will come to the Father except through ME. Jesus says before Abraham was I AM (the name of God, also meaning Jesus existed from the beginning of time), if you have seen me you have seen the Father, the Father and I are one. Jesus is perfect, he is life, he is the only way my friend. I love muslims, I hate islam because it misleads poor souls to hell. The moon miracle is not a real miracle, half of muslim scholars don't believe it and are divided on it's authenticity, muammad also said that sperm originates between the backbone and ribcage, which is false. So don't come at me with science rubbish, when I can point out many mistakes like this one. Mohammad instructed his followers to behead around 600 jews my friend while they were sleeping, their death is on his hands. He is a murderer. He also took the woman made them slaves and raped them. Making him a thief and a rapist. He is everything Jesus preached against. He blasphemes against Jesus and thus God, by making lies and fabrications that Jesus didnt really die on the cross and God deceived the nation (600 years later lol). When there is scientific and historical evidence for Christ's existence, death and even resurrection with 500 eye witnesses and non Christian kings at the time documenting these events. Secondly, muhammad calls God a deceiver??? But the ultimate deceiver according to the bible is shaytan/satan, meaning the God muhammad and muslims supposedly follow is the devil then? My brother there is no shame in realising you are wrong, i myself happily admit i am wrong every day. So come to Christ, he is waiting for you. God bless you.
God bless Jordan Peterson I learned so much from you and he is a truly good person.
Hello do you need any prayer?
Kindly why ?
I new to know him.
I admire his humility it’s dope to see a extremely intelligent guy be so logical and also humble enough to know and admit that his knowledge in certain areas is limited and also open to ideas that challenges what he believes like the idea of there being a God and that the Bible is real and more than just true . That’s dope I salute him I think a lot more people in his world should listen .
Hello do you believe in Jesus?
Do you know 100% sure you’re going to Heaven, if you died today? The Bible says you can know. It’s not about being a good person or living a good life. There’s only one thing you’ve got to do.
We’re all condemned to Hell because we’re sinners - “For the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). The Bible mentions a “second death” in Revelation:
“…and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)🔥
The Bible says all liars deserve to go to Hell. Of course, we’ve all lied before. How many lies do you have to tell to become a liar? Only one.
All of the religions of the world say you have to do good works to go to Heaven. But the Bible makes it clear, it’s got nothing to do with our good works. Salvation is a free gift.
‘For by grace are ye saved through *faith;* and that *not of yourselves:* it is the *gift* of God:
*Not of works,* lest any man should boast.’ (Ephesians 2:8-9)
“And that not of yourselves”. If you’re going to be saved (go to Heaven) , it’s not of yourself. Meaning, you don’t save yourself. You don’t produce your own salvation. Because, “it is the gift of God”.
A gift is not something you pay for, but something you receive for free. Once that gift is given to you, it belongs to you now. E.g. if someone gives you a gift, they don’t have the right to come back later and say, “hey, I need that back”. That wasn’t a gift then.
‘…but the gift of God is *eternal life* through Jesus Christ our Lord.’ (Romans 6:23)
If God gives you the gift of eternal life, it’s going to last forever. So, if God gives you a gift that lasts forever, how many times do you have to get it? Only one time. And once you have it, it’s yours to keep.
People have this idea that in order to go to Heaven, you have to do good works. It’s good to go to church, it’s good to be a baptised, it’s good to repent of your sins etc. - But if I have to do those things to go to Heaven, then it’s not a gift. Because a gift by definition is free.
And they said, *Believe* on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.’ (Acts 16:31)
Once someone puts their faith and trust in Jesus Christ, their sins are forgiven past, present and future. They’ve been given eternal life and is saved forever (from hell).
A saved Christian can never lose their Salvation, even they do something bad (e.g. if they rob a bank and kill someone). God will never take away their Salvation. Those who are saved become a Child of God:
‘For ye are all the children of God by *faith* in Christ Jesus.’ (Galatians 3:26)
What if a Christian keep disobeying God?
God will punish his children. If you do a small sin you’ll get a small punishment, if you do a big sin you’ll get a big punishment, on this earth. But God will NEVER send His child to Hell.
If your son or daughter breaks the rules, you’re going to discipline them. But they’ll always be your child. Even if they begin to doubt that their your child. Even if they begin to hate you. That wouldn’t change their DNA. Once God is your father, once you’re a child of God - you will always be a child of God. But He will discipline you.
‘For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.’ (Hebrews 12:6)
If you believe you can lose your salvation, what you’re basically saying is that you have to DO something to STAY saved. You have to maintain some level of morality (do good works or not do bad things).
The very idea of losing your salvation IS a works-based salvation. They’ll say, “you don’t have to do any works to get saved, but you’ll lose it if you don’t do the work.” You’re still working to get to Heaven at that point. They’ll say, “if you do something bad then God’s going to take it away from you” - basically what their saying is, you have to keep the commandments in order to STAY saved. In Galatians, keeping the commandments is called the works of the law, and we’re not justified by the works of the law. We are justified by faith in Jesus Christ.
‘Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by *faith* without the deeds of the law.’ (Romans 3:28)
‘Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath *everlasting life.’* (John 6:47)
He didn’t say you HAD everlasting life, as if you had lost it. Or get everlasting life in the future. If I lost it, it didn’t last forever, it wasn’t everlasting. You can’t have everlasting life temporarily, that’s an oxymoron.
I recommend you watch a Gospel Presentation on RUclips, it takes about 10 minutes. Because you will find out things you never knew that were in the Bible. Going to Heaven to very simple.
Search, *The Bible Way to Heaven,* on RUclips
‘He that *believeth* on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that *believeth* not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.’ (John 3:38)

God is our Father in Heaven and we're made in His image. Psychologically speaking Jordan Peterson is correct I think, but as a matter of reality once our mortal probation is through and Christ comes again we will all see him face to face.
oh yes
_Jonathan,_ the problem is when you ask someone _why_ they believe something like what you just said, nobody has a good reason to believe in a god.
@@tonygoodkind7858 It's likely that nobody feels beholden to give you a reason, and if they did, it would be like describing a specific color to a man that was born blind. You need to find Jesus in your own way. I don't need to give a reason, I feel it in every fiber of my physical and spiritual self. I've never been more certain of anything in my life, but I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. It's called faith for a reason.
@@tonygoodkind7858 I believe in God, because I believe in His Word, ...I believe in His Word, because His Word has shown me every sin I ever committed, of which I can not deny, and offers me a way out through repentance, and confession of mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, belief in the heart that God raised Him from the dead, God's Word says in Romans 10:9-10 (nkjv) that I shall be saved if I meet these conditions. *John 4:29 (NKJV)* _29 “Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”_
If a person has been converted by any other word, sad piano music, or a call to the alter, while under some emotional stimuli, then it's questionable whether such a person has truly been converted, but if that person has been converted, and baptized by the Spirit of Truth and by God's Word, then truly you are set free.
@@GoingFar77 1. So do you not actually believe in Christianity, or are you unbelievably evil? This may seem like a brutal dichotomy, but if you believe Christianity is actually true then you think the consequence of non-belief is eternal punishment, and so to doom someone to that punishment knowing you could save them seems to me unbelievably evil. To be fair, the analogy is like passing a toddler drowning in a kiddie pool knowing you could save them and then not saving them, so you're not quite as evil as the person who put the toddler there, but it's still a pretty evil decision, right?
2. Yeah but we can provide evidence of a specific color to a blind person. Turns out when an idea is _actually known to be true,_ you can always provide evidence. (If you need me to walk you through an experiment proving specific colors to a blind person, we can.)
3. Is Islam true? Is Hinduism? Well people _feel_ those religions are true. Those feelings are real. The disconnect is they don't know a god exists, and so they don't know those feelings are meaningfully connected to an actual god (and the fact that you probably think both other religions are falsehoods proves you know your own feelings here don't tell you a god actually exists).
4. Faith isn't a reliable way know truth though, so why would you even bring it up? (Have faith you can fly unaided. Can you? Have faith a million dollars lies next to you. Does it?) Have you noticed faith is never mentioned on a topic where we have a good reason to think it's true?
We have all sinned, and fallen short of the glory of God. Whether we have lied, stolen, lusted, cheated, hated someone, lost our temper, used bad language or God’s name in vain, gotten drunk, done drugs, etc. We all deserve to be punished in Hell because of our sins. As a result of our sins, we have stored up a spiritual debt for ourselves. Unless someone else pays off this debt for us, we will pay it off ourselves in Hell. But thank God, that He sent His Son Jesus Christ, to live a perfectly sinless life, fulfilling the law and obeying God’s commandments perfectly, in our place, and He was tortured, and crucified on a cross to take the punishment for our sins. We broke God’s moral law, Jesus Christ paid the fine, the spiritual debt that we owed for breaking God’s law. Jesus Christ died for our sins, He was buried in a tomb and He rose again from the dead on the third day.
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, so that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but has everlasting life. When you repent and believe The Gospel, this Good News about Jesus Christ, you become saved and sealed with The Holy Spirit until the day of redemption. Nobody can snatch us out of The Father’s hand. We are saved by the grace of God, through our faith in Jesus Christ, not by any of our good works, including obeying God’s commandments or loving God completely. We fail at that every day. We are justified by our faith in Jesus Christ.
Amen 🙏🏽
i know this is a cliche, but i'm speaking for me personally. this right here is the most profound thing i've ever heard JP say.
From Jordan's perspective (and what he often tries to argue), he'd probably say that it isn't really cliche if you really mean that, or something along those lines. And the truth is that it actually isn't. If you state that it is genuinely profound, then you aren't trying to reduce it down to something that fundamentally _isn't_ profound -- namely, a cliche.
@@galaxyofreesesking2124 yea i just meant everyone always says that everything JP says is profound lol. but this one genuinely had me questioning my own beliefs. he was able to put into words something i've been pondering for awhile, but haven't been able to explain properly. and the way he explained it just made something click inside my brain. i've always been more of an aristotelian but now i'm thinking of diving into a bit of plato.
@@env0x It sounds to me like the start of something meaningful... 😊
Hello does anyone here need any prayer?
The last 2-3 years has caused me to fear that "the truth, no matter what" is no longer the great posit of the scientific community.
I grew up an atheist. As I moved into adulthood I slowly started to be exposed to the Lord, through critical and careful thought and through Jewish text and conversation because it made much more sense to me than Christianity (but that is entirely personal). I still struggle to formalise it in my head, the idea of G-d, but Dr Peterson, who I saw in Manchester yesterday by the way, has helped me to understand and truly articulate the concept in my own head, in my own heart. It, he, G-d, is so much MORE than I thought. When I was younger, I oversimplified it and thus dismissed it. We are all here to answer the question he asks us. We are all here to answer the calling. Each person has a different route to Him, please do not forget that people! Your route to Him is completely different to your peers. We are a bridge between the mortal and the immortal. Hashem needs us, as we need Him, in a sense. He needs us to fulfil our duties, to explore life and death and love and tragedy. Hashem cannot do this on his own, powerful though He is. We are a mirror of G-d, we are the eyes of the universe looking upon its own naked body, coming to understand itself. I am 21 now, and have much more to learn about the Lord, but this is what I understand so far.
Why do you say he "needs us to fulfil our duties, to explore life and death and love and tragedy"?
Consider large dose of mushrooms. It helped me.
Great! Well done sir. Yes, what most atheists say they don't believe in is also something that Christians don't believe in! This would be the "anthropomorphic" God, typically
Why do you miss spell God by leaving out the O?
😊🙏
At my age the simple elegance of the classical arguments for God are sufficient. That He is The Transcendent First Cause and The Prime Mover became enough for me once I had forgotten most of what I had learned or read, and I have since acquired a certain ease and cheer which I should never again like to be without.
all of the things he's said are actually rather simple as well but rather with great depth. it is after all the simple things where answer lies
The fact that a flat universe COULD come up spontaneously from random energy in space doesn’t mean it did, and putting your faith in that theory is far more LUDICROUS than belief in intelligent design, I’m sure you can understand that much.
The fact that we have never observed “nothing” has absolutely nothing to do with the existence of God. Maybe “nothing” never existed. It still doesn’t disprove God, in fact, I would say that statement strengthens the ones argument for the existence of a God. For before everything was created it was just God, which isn’t “nothing.” So yes, you are correct.
Your statement about quantum mechanics and radioactive decay, one, have nothing to do with what anyone is talking about, and two do not have any evidence or examples to back it up, you’ve simply put words together in a sentence and the end result was something with very little substance or meaning.
You then go on to try to disprove the “prime mover argument” by writing about how states of rest and movement are only relevant when compared to other objects, this is obvious, sadly it also has nothing to do with the subject at hand at does not in any way disprove the existence of God.
Basically nothing you wrote was relevant or made up of anything of substance. It was simply words and statements strung together in an effort to sound intelligent.
Jesus is God, the entire Bible shows this. The great I AM.
And if Jesus is God then anyone can be because Jesus said any who follow in His footsteps will be able to do as He does. Then you can either say that there are no true Christians, since there are no actual wizards, OR alternatively that the true Christians are actually the highly disciplined geniuses that don't go to church because they're too busy using technology, empathy, spirituality and hard work to make possible all the miracles we enjoy every day all over the world
@@newusernamehere4772 and Jesus responded to the apostles, if you have seen Me you have seen the Father in Heaven!...
@@newusernamehere4772 John 1
easy answer. He is everything!
We didn't kill Him, He was a willing sacrifice sent by the Father, and without that sacrifice there could be no forgiveness of sins. Jesus wasn't a victim of the cross, but a willing sacrifice.
Well, I'd say it was both, they killed him but Jesus went willingly and didn't offer up a defence.
If he was willing why did he asks his Father to pass this cup from him? 🤦
@@samboy90 To highlight the point that there was no other way for humanity to be saved. He willingly took the wrath of God the father upon himself in our place so those who believe in Jesus wouldn't suffer the everlasting consequences for their sin, and rightful condemnation, but instead receive the gift of life by grace through faith.
God is good. God is great.

It’s always amazing how Christians, no matter how smart they might otherwise be, seem to always put the blame of God’s apparent distance or hiddenness from us onto we fallible, insignificant, mortal humans, rather than on the supposedly omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent Creator who brought our entire being and world into existence through a sheer act of his own “free will”. If there are any barriers that exist between us and your God, Jordan, they are there because your God chose to put them there. If God wants us to know him, and he knew that “sin” would be a barrier to achieving that goal, then why did he choose to create Lucifer and set up a process for bringing “sin” into existence? God has “free will”, and he doesn’t “sin”, so why did he choose to make it such that _our_ form of “free will” results in “sin”, and therefore separates us from him? Seems counter productive, if the goal was to have all of us know him! Kind of begs the question that he doesn’t actually want all of us to know him!
Who is God? Well, yes, God is Who, and What, and Where, and When, and Why, and How.
God is the question and the answer, and I don't mean that metaphorically, I mean that physically, observably.
God is What/Who, both the generalization and the specification. One of many and the many of one.
God is Where/When, both space and time. Mass of energy and the energy of mass.
God is Why/How, both purpose and meaning. For-what exists by which means, and the means by which exists what-for.
God is simple yet complex. God is the balancing of extremes - existence.
Well the Bible says that he kills children, endorses slavery, and commits mass genocide. So I guess God is also death. God is also evil. God is also genocide. If we take the Bible onto account.
Sounds wonderful and poetic but no God is not all, God created all but isn’t his creation
@@justreckless9253 God didn't create all though. Humans created plenty by themselves with their own hands and minds. Also athiests created plenty of things aswell and we also created God. We created religions and created gods and made myths and legends, poetry and art.

Lol I love it! You might b right, so wild to think about
Peterson, you have to realize how few academics are actually scientists in the meaning you put forth.
I think he meant this is the approach a scientist should have, in his eyes. Certainly though, not all scientists are in academia.
dr. Peterson this response reminds me so much of the Episcopal scholar in CS Lewis‘s book the great divorce. I don’t know if you truly believe in Christ or not but it seems like you’re so close and I really hope that you give your life over to Him and repent. I would love to see you in heaven. everything we need to know of any importance about the real and true God is in the old testament and the new of the Bible. From what God is, to why God does what he does, to how to have a personal relationship and heal the divide between him and us is all there. It’s not just an intellectual representation of psychological forces, it is very real and when Christ returns the world will know it. If you were not already one of the Saints I truly hope and pray that you become one Dr. Peterson. Your work has helped so many.
God is unburdened, unending, unconditional love.
God? He is love and a way maker. He who gives Grace and Mercy to the undeserving.
He is in everything and everywhere and all powerful. Amen
I would begin at the biblical statement that God is Spirit, and spoke matter into being.
Why do so many believers in God think it is their right to disgrace and shame others with different beliefs? Even when it comes to other people who believe in God differently. Right from the very beginning of our lives, we are taught to believe whatever our parents or guardians believe. We feel so fortunate to have found the one true religion and not to be lost like the other people who follow a different religion. If everyone believes they are correct in what they believe and yet contradict what someone else believes it only stands to reason that someone is mistaken in what they believe. There seems to be all this confusion among all the people who believe in God. Why do they spend so much time trying to prove they are right and someone else is wrong? It is hypocritical to use religion to validate superiority and overfocus on what everyone else is doing wrong. I can't see how that behavior will lead to a better more fulfilled life. Beliefs are personal and serve us well when they enhance our lives and make us better people. I was raised in a Christian home so I am very familiar with judgements and shaming from a very early age. It is funny how everyone feels like they are doing the right thing even when they are not. We are all so imperfect. Maybe we could embrace that a little more and focus on helping, not hurting. There is no shortage of ways for us to hurt others.
I was an atheist my whole life. I called God “Santa Claus for adults.” in short I had an experience in 2015 I think I was dying. I had a “vision”. I could see the real world, but the Vision was so powerful it made the real world fade to the background. I don’t do drugs, except for a very occasional marijuana and marijuana does not do what I saw. I was above the Earth looking down while I could see the floor in front of my face. I heard a major7 chord of voices sustained, turned my head, and I saw an ellipse of Golden light that spoke to me, this lasted for two minutes approximately two years later I found out the words said to me were spoken by a man named Jesus, Christ. Nine words every word, the same. I KNOW God exists, and who he is. That means hell is real and everything else believe it or not
Completely evades the question: "Who is God?"
Ask the parents of thousands of children a day (or the children themselves) who develop a terminal illness and suffer a horrible death at the age of 9, what their view of god is? Ask the millions of children dying of thirst, praying to this “god” for water, while other people win the lottery and claim “god” was watching over them and had their back. When people say “god” loves all, that’s a hard pill to swallow because if anything, children should be the most protected by “god” based on what’s in this magical book written thousands of years ago by people we don’t even know. I’m not atheist, but I don’t believe in a deity loving and watching over everyone. I believe that’s a crutch for people who are afraid of the end game of it all. There is a creator, or else we wouldn’t be here; but good luck explaining your god to cancer patients that are just waiting to die and tell them what purpose “god” had for them to suffer but not someone else. I mean that, good luck.
This was well placed and explained
YHWH(Yahweh, Jehovah we’re really not sure how to pronounce the tetragrammaton), the Hebrew letters translate as “behold the hand, behold the nail”(pointing to Jesus(Yeshua in the Hebrew tongue Iésous in the Greek)), he is the creator, nothing was made that was not made by him.
Other names of God: The Everlasting Father, The God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob, The Lord of Hosts(host means army’s), The Ancient of Days, The Almighty God, I AM, The Alpha and Omega, The God of the Bible, the God of Creation, the One who holds eternal life and eternal death in his hands…he is our creator and redeemer, and we are nothing without him, and we are ONLY here to know, love, and serve Him.
So cancer, alzheimers, spiders with venom that give you an erection while paralyzing you slowly to stop your heart, and parasites that burrow into eyes of children were all made by God? Fuckin genius!
God is True Holy Almighty Creator of
we were made from him through him and to him for we were all fearfully
and wonderfully made always give
thanks and honor for all he has done
and greatfull, Love the Lord and also
fear him blessed is Holy name above all names 🙏🏼
I'm not sure why Jordan feels the need to take what most empirically minded folk would simply call "objective reality" and rebrand it as "the ontologically transcendent". It's just the reality that exists independently of our observation of it. Almost all scientists would admit that we are very ignorant about this reality, but the goal of science is to try to understand it as much as humanly possible. And so we tweak our theories if they do not appear to be accurately representative of objective reality. I just don't understand why Jordan needs to frame it in the way he does or bring God into this. And I'm a huge fan of JP.
Dr. Peterson is on top form! Go Jordan!
Great stuff from Dr Peterson!
The most important attribute of God that we see in the Bible is Holiness. If you disagree, I challenge you to read the entire Bible cover to cover and take notes and see how this is the case. Isaiah chapter 6 is an enlightening chapter on the matter.
He sure ok with lot messed up things in old testament
If you created an incredibly complex world inside a computer (for lack of a better term) with the intent of one day creating a set of life forms who were given the ability and curiosity to not only investigate their environment, but to also understand that they were living in that created environment, you might have something similar to the environment that we live in, and a relationship to the creator such as we have. We think that everything is "real" because we can manipulate it to a degree that is reliable. Thus, since the creator is not part of this environment, we can only formulate opinions of the creator based on the only data that we have. While it is fun to speculate about what the characteristics of God might be (besides what we know about God's personality and attention to detail), we may never know--even if we end up in God's environment.
Your description was better than dr. Petersons
The question can be like “Who is Music” or Dance because you can’t just explain by words i believe so.
Love Jordan Peterson amazing
I realized a few weeks ago, like the sun coming out in my mind, that I was missing God in my life. God is love. It has always been this way.
He is the I AM.
As usual, great thoughts from JP.
This question no one can answer, most interesting question ever.
God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is the Son of the Father, the Holy Spirit is our helper. You're welcome.
Man i am glad i am to dumb to think that deep. How does he turn it off.
The problem is making God into our image and making false idols. God has given us his word and has told us exactly who is and what he requires of us and how future good or bad. He is our father and created us to have relationship with us. He sent his son to die for our sins and he raised him from the dead so that we can have eternal life if we only have faith in that. If we deny what Jesus did we will be eternally separated from God.
He is the Word, the Logos, and left the Heavens to be wrapped in flesh. He came to be a sacrifice for the sins of the World. To transcend death and rise again in eternal glory. He is just, he is gracious and merciful. He is loving, He is kind and He is the truth. He is truth that we do not even have the capability to understand yet. His name is the LORD Jesus Christ. Believe on His name, his nature, and thou shalt be saved. The church became his spiritual body and from the church a bride will be pulled just like Adam the first. Yet He has proven to have succeeded where Adam failed in that He has dressed and kept His garden. He has kept those who turn to Him and will clothe us in white robes, white raiment and white linen.
Why would anyone conclude there is something "transcendent"? Peterson's presentation of what constitutes object and how it relates to transcendence is one characteristic of Peterson's descriptions of things that demonstrates a good example of the notions of obscurity and the confounding. He alludes to the idea that as a scientist one has to reach for the transcendent in order to understand "objects". So one has to wonder exactly what Peterson means by "transcendent". New knowledge could be characterized as transcendent and not necessarily something transcendent of this physical universe. Something "beyond" what a scientist believes? That ONLY something is new knowledge and NOTHING else. There is nothing beyond ONTOLOGY or "being". And "being" some of it is prima facia evidence of itself. There is NO NEED to look beyond physical being or "object".
this is a crazy conversation because Jordan Peterson is my highest hero…
This view of God will only lead to despair in the end...just like poor old Nietzsche.
Only God’s Spirit allows you to thrive. We all die, but Jesus didn’t die.
Ah i dare to admit and share all about myself in life and it aint much but nothing bad either 😢
Abba Father God Most High 👐👐👐♥️💫
Thank you
Thank you for uploading this and comforting me God Bless
Dear Christians, never believe a Christian who calls himself a believer of Christ, but does not accept Jesus. JP is a Christian with more Christ, and no Jesus. Take care.
Saying "God is a pattern" is like saying, "a blueprint is a city." Good luck with that reasoning. The purpose of a "pattern" is in its relationship to a Real Thing. The pattern always points beyond itself. And that Real Thing, for which the pattern is designed, is not human beings themselves, because they are only "short-lived meat creatures," as he puts it: they're not ultimate or eternal or transcendent. They cannot be the source of the pattern of themselves. The pattern is of that which transcends both. And that which transcends both is God Himself.
The reformers articulated this idea hundred of years ago, perhaps reading some of the confessions of faith?
Once you know who Christ is, then you know who God is
Matter is condensed energy. Energy is the ebb and flow of consciousness in our reality.
It’s amazing to know that there is a place that people from all sides and corners of the world love and respect the Lord regardless of belief. It’s rare to find a place where we can all agree that our God is the “spirit that we must emulate in order to thrive.”

So weird I never had a hero worship. Even people who became fans of a team or band or books and learn everything about the person or petiole ect… never once have I had that. And I guess in a sense I have been sort of lost most of my life I haven’t ever looked to anyone to replicate or strive to be like. I am currently trying to develop a relationship with God and trying to believe because I do notice something lacking in my life and I believe that to be the very thing. A hope.
I don't find that weird at all. Who are those players, artists, writers etc. to you? Nobody. Some random people in the world. A few out of billions. I myself in almost 40 years also never "worshiped" anyone. I accept that some people do that but I don't understand it. I always cared only about my loved ones, friends and myself. If I was ever to look up to someone it would be my parents that gave me life and taught me everything I needed to know to get started in life. I understand your feeling of being lost. I'm surrounded by people I love yet from time to time the same feeling digs it's way up. I always considered god to be the easy way out for the weakest of minds. The easiest thing you can grab onto when you don't know what to do. I don't judge people for that. That's probably what god is for because not everyone has the strength in them to make their own path without "guidance". There is always hope and always a way out. I found my peace in love.
I really struggled listening to this. I've watched it twice and still 🤔🤔
I've listened about 4 times and I could still listen to it many more times. The density of ideas and the ideas themselves is wild. It's like putting together all of man's greatest ideas together and in the form of a discussion .
“Energy can not be created nor destroyed only converted from one energy source to another” - Einstein
God is Energy,Frequency,& Light ! There has been many situations were I never had any control over a situation and I called on God and he has helped every step of the way. It’s not about seeing him our little minds here wouldn’t even comprehend supernaturally. You don’t see air but you say you breathe oxygen. We are shadows of trees, we only come here to experience a side of him.
Believing in God never really made an impact on my life and it seemed to get worse. So not sure why I bother trying to Believe again cause life doesn't get better
Jesus loves Me. Amen 🙏
When I go for a run, I don't imagine Usain Bolt. When I do maths, I don't imagine Einstein or Newton. Not saying that model people don't help but i have found that all people have some disappointment in them. Learning that fact was very harsh. I don't think I can imagine a being or ideal which is absolutely perfect anymore than i can imagine someone who is the world's best sprinter, physicist, clarionate player, horse fixer, etc. I also don't see the point in that.
I believe in methods - not models. There is no absolute, for me. It is a poisoned fruit. It is a mirage of an oasis in a desert. Perhaps that makes me a nihilist or very depressing but I can't force a god into my world view.
A playful imagination and a self permission to question everything is the key to knowing.

Hello Dr. Peterson, can I ask if you read "The Kybalion" and if not, can i ask you to read it (very short read)? I would like to hear your comment on it. Thank you very much.
PS. To define God is to deny Him.
You just defined God -- 'God is that which is denied whenever He is defined." That's your opinion and it doesn't make logical sense.
Exodus 34 defines God by His name:
"The Lord descended in the cloud and stood with [Moses] there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord. The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, 'The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children's children, to the third and the fourth generation.''"
This is God defining God, not denying Himself.
@@leedise2383 It does not make sense to you perhaps, it makes perfect sense to me. Much Love to you.
OWNED.
So what people think in centuries what's admirable. That purified person is God. So God is a human creation for what it's most admirable for many people. But that depends on what those people want in their lives.
Why would god need us to worship him in order for him to let us thrive?
This has always been my problem, God definitely isn’t Super Santa who lives in the sky.
The question for me is not do you believe in God, it’s what do you mean by God.
I don’t know what I mean by God.
‘Worship” has also always bothered me.
What do you mean by worship?
I am not subservient, I couldn’t respect anything that expected me to be subservient.
I believe in role models. Christ is a role model. A target to aim for. I sin because I miss the mark.
But in my experience almost everyone considers sin to be equal to crime
Sorry, quite drunk.
@@numpty7750 Keep going
@@tumtumtumtum No.
Maybe I’m here to suffer and to learn.
Talking from my ignorant dumbass position, looking at the world as a parable (because my tiny mind can barely comprehend the idea of God).
I don’t think you can be subservient to a loving father. The last thing a loving father would want is a subservient child.
I’m created in the image of God. Subservience would be blasphemy.

@@tumtumtumtum that same thinking is why communist country's "supreme leaders" have the faith of the people they hold down. i'd rather live with my OWN suffering than carry a carcass, while suffering.
@@numpty7750 sin is a personal crime, so "everyone" isn't exactly wrong. they just aren't framing it properly. there are numerous examples of personal repentances for even having unclean thoughts. the world and all the words ever spoken in it were spoken by a person. even if they were spoken to them by an angel or god, how likely do you think it is they got it exactly right, if neither of us can even properly lay out our OWN thoughts?
Hold yourself accountable, believe in what you CAN believe in. it's better than forcing yourself to live a lie because you were promised something people say is good but nobody really understands. eternal life in heaven? that means nothing more than your name on a tombstone. it's not a bad way. it's not the only way.
Amen 🙏🏾

Look at the comments and all the diffrent definitions people put forth, look at all the times Jordan has attempted to defind god. Sloppy "science" right there
Jesus is God. It’s factual and literally your only hope
It's Hard to comprehend God. A timeless space less immaterial all powerful , limitless being who is Omnipotent Omnipotent & Omnipresent.

What if? GOD is consciousness; not just my consciousness but yours and everyone's consciousness around us... but also part of every consciousness in the past and every consciousness to come. That is what makes him omnipresent. We are like a single cell in a larger body we can't even fathom being part of. Our existence depends on the health of the whole organism. What we strive to be is a healthy part of the whole and make others healthy around us.(just like Jordan is doing for us) Nietzsche understood how we take part in killing GOD within us and how we take part in the deterioration of his corpus. At death when we return to the whole. I will know every one of your thoughts throughout your life; you will know all of mine. And we will, as GOD does now; have an extreme knowledge of good and evil.
Someone please tell me who this interviewer is?
My English vocabulary isn’t good enough to understand what point Peterson is making. Are there easier words to describe his point?
Brilliant man
God, the Christian God, who is also the God of Israel, is beyond our conception, but he did make a way for us to get to know him. That is through his Word! That Word is the Bible and his Son Jesus, who is the Word made flesh.
Only though studying his Word does he reveal who he is, and his nature. This is as close as we can get in this material world. Once we go to where he is, we will know him in his fullness.
Humans cannot bring God "down to earth". It's comparable to a finite container attempting to hold an infinite volume. Fortunately for us, God sent his son down to earth.
I agree with you, but I take what Dr. Peterson means as the ability to communicate him should be possible, and it is. Definitely cannot define God perfectly, but he answered the question "Is it even possible to talk about this?" Certainly is! But we could talk about it for days!
We can't fully comprehend him
