It's been released that Dr. Peterson's wife has had some serious complications from a medical procedure and that's the explanation for the emotions during the Prager interview. It's too bad that your question did not make it to him during the talk, perhaps he has a chance to read them after the event. Just like like the salvation of any person we should rejoice if he does turn to Christ in faith and reptenance. It does seem evident from the lectures that he has committed the sin of antichrist as in 1 Jn 2:22. That being a type of liar who specifically denies Jesus as Christ. I say this as he does have extensive knowledge of the Bible but as you pointed out his understanding is wrapped in the framework of historical archetypes, I think he has been infused by Carl Jung. I do find it interesting that in his interview with Dennis Prager that Dr. Perterson has thought through, to some degree, the idea of believing in God; albeit with a false conclusion yet and however many people who do claim Christ should as Dr. Peterson states, "If a person examine the way they live who would dare say that..." Herein resided the truth that belief results in a change. However it's a work of God that enables that change and not self. "..faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Ro 10:17 Faith does not reside in the self-willed person but in God's word. tturnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15353114192853242532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20213892.post-91525676553151233902019-06-29T15:27:08.422-07:002019-06-29T15:27:08.422-07:00Hi Jim,

My take would be that he's not going to spoil biblicists or separatists, even though they should beware. He doesn't present any proof for anything that would contradict what we believe, even though he doesn't believe it. I would give a warning and a disclaimer and say it's got good common sense or natural law in it, like reading Thomas Jefferson or Russell Kirk or Edmund Burke.<br /><br />I'm open to criticism on that front, but that's what I think.<br /><br />Thanks for asking.Kent Brandenburghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13419354741455959191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20213892.post-58721329637912087652019-06-29T12:31:12.434-07:002019-06-29T12:31:12.434-07:00Hi Kent,

I like Prager and Peterson also, but am rather wary of them, due to this passage - They are both plainly lost, non Bible believers.<br />I ask because I was looking for some good reading for my sons, & was hoping for an answer and a suggestion if you felt his book was of benefit.JimCamp65https://www.blogger.com/profile/08293018820976464851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20213892.post-70001951165032753712019-06-04T04:32:51.473-07:002019-06-04T04:32:51.473-07:00I appreciate your attempt to get to Peterson. I lo...I appreciate your attempt to get to Peterson. I long to see the day that He would indeed turn from self and sin and believe in Jesus. That would be great!Bill Hardeckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15552819877860565186noreply@blogger.com
