This was the last comment after the interview: :bible

"Continue to pray for Peterson, that he sees the truth and that the Holy Spirit saves him. The bible can be understood as the precondition for the manifestation of truth all he wants, but unless he repents of his sins and believes the gospel of Jesus Christ, he will be lost."

Yes, I saw that comment and I agree. Ultimately mental ascent does not save. It is putting your trust in Jesus Christ that saves.

This reminds me a bit of CS Lewis after he wrestled with God and finally came to the conclusion that He was real and Lewis repented. CS Lewis said he was the most dejected and reluctant convert in all of England.

I think Jordan Peterson, who has a brilliant mind, is also wrestling with God. I think he is right now kicking against the goads.

I think for the brilliant mind, it truly might take time to unravel and untangle the mind from what "self" has understood and has accomplished your whole lifetime, transferring away from that, toward what is spiritual truth and drawing that comes from the Holy Spirit, Who is wooing him to let go of the knowledge he has, and come in faith to Christ. The Lord is calling him, and I believe he has been touched by Truth. May he let go and let God.

With you right there.

Rich people and intellectually gifted people have to overcome their inclination to self reliance. They are literally too smart for their own good.

We need to stop being self confident and become God confident.

For what it's worth, Jordan Peterson's daughter has her own journey of faith. I pray that it is or will become a saving faith. :prayer-hands:
