I'm not looking for feedback, and I'm just sharing this because I felt touched.

He appears to be more of a motivational speaker who focuses on ethical necessity (which we are absent of w/o God); What love is he speaking of? — we love because He first Loved us; not because we loved first…. It is not a religion, it is a relationship. Church is not the answers, Christ is. We are mandated to be community, … not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together as is the habit of some…

He does not mention Christ as the Son of God or God in the flesh and the need for His sacrificial death because of our sin nature. He speaks as if he is on a moral journey, which he will fail at if he does not humble himself before God almighty. He has missed the mark. He does not understand the indwelling of the Holy Spirit that changes you. It is by faith, not morality, not doing good (for apart rom God we are nothing), it is nothing we can rationalize in our finite brain concerning the work of a infinite God, it is nothing we can do and he does not accept the simplicity of the Gospel. My opinion.

IMHO, Jordan Peterson is headed in the right direction. He believes in God, first and foremost. However, as Tammie mentioned, he hasn't come to Jesus yet. At least, not as far as I know.

Praying for him. What a wonderful testemony that would be! :prayer-hands:

I really feel he is on the verge of becoming born again. He had this to say about the Bible:

And so it isn’t that the Bible is true. It’s that the Bible is the precondition for the manifestation of truth, which makes it way more true than just true. It’s a whole different kind of true, and I think this is not only literally the case, factually, I think it can’t be any other way. It’s the only way we can solve the problem of perception.
