Good And Evil In The BIBLE | Jordan Peterson 

How do you define good and evil? But in the life you live?

"Because I knew you could win." Amazing. Even when Jordan Peterson wasn't confident in his belief in God, God was confident in His belief in Jordan.

I love this guy. He's in an epic battle with The Almighty God to understand the LOGOS of everything, and he's continuously getting his ass handed to him. Someday, when he's had enough, he will give up and admit, "God, you were right all along", repent of his pride, and begin a new life IN Christ. It will truly be a good day, and I'm praying for him✌

Ahhh Jordan. I could listen to him discovering the love of God and Jesus all day. ❤️

I admire and adore the way this very very clever and high achieving academic of high repute openly reveals to us his struggles with his humanity, temptation, frailty and mortality. His struggle with the Logos and meaning helps us all to come to grips with the same issues. God bless him. Thank you for this helpful work.

Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a profit unto the nation's"

1 Corinthians 10:13 - There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

I've been following Jordan for several years now and it has been so awesome to watch him grow and evolve in his faith. Many times, intellectual types manage to reason their way OUT of believing in God. Jordan has had such profound experiences that it has literally forced his hand to believe. Truly incredible to watch. The line, "because I knew you could win" is more profound than most people realize. That's how God views us. Even in our broken, angry, ugly often misguided ways...he still believes in us.

Love when Jordan opens up like this! I always had a saying to myself about why we’re here and all this confusion about evil being brought into the world. I think it’s about free will and also like Jordan was saying it’s a test. But god is so holy and perfect that God says I’m going to put you through cruel, unrelenting, and crazy world. Because if you can’t choose me (God) at your worst. Then how are you going to choose me(God) at your best? Because that’s what satan’s flaw was, he loved himself, his ego, his pride. And choose to stop being an angel and decided to become his own god.

I had a dream a few years ago that I was running through the court of the temple from Roman soldiers, I tripped and fell on my face. As I was trying to get back up I felt someone touch my shoulder. I turned to look, terrified it was a Roman about to run me through with a sword, but it was Jesus. He was reaching down to help me up and said "I'm here now".

THIS MAN IS A REAL GIFT ! THANK GOD FOR HIM !

Praise God. "Because I knew you could win."💖

I’m a 63 year old man from the uk . Because of Jordan I have just started understanding and learning about myself long way to go . But there’s now a hunger to learn and grow . Quiet amazing ! Thank you

Perfect!

Thank you 😊❤🙏

Blessed are those who believed and have not seen.

Makes so much sense this way

Thanku Man U are the realist the way you broke it down to us

That dream of Jordan Peterson was powerful man, wow! I had a similar one when I was little actually. So I can relate

This is beautiful

I had a similar experience sir. Thank you for sharing.

We sometimes find evil in ourselves ... We must offer goodness. May God protect you

I love the thought, of being ultimately tested. Though I’m somewhat a procrastinator, to be perfect, and not in a general sense., But to be a perfect me, pleasing to Father, and then therefor existence.. I strongly need that.

Yeh once again Professor awsum talk

Jordan you left me speechless again. I absolutely love this. ✝️❤️🥰

I so happy this man believes in God because of his position in the world.

Querido Jordan tus pensamientos son un regalo para l humanidad! Bendiciones y saludos cariñosos a la familia!

Das Übermensch 🤗🥰 Thank you for growing into a hero

the deep things of GOD! my life changed the moment I came to terms with the fact that GOD didn't destroy satan; he ALLOWS him to be the prince of the power of the air. THE DEEP THINGS OF GOD. realizing and accepting that fact; is half the battle.

I'm operating on the edge of my understanding. Wow enough said.

So good.👍🏻🇦🇺

Following God's dictates is good. Giving in to Satan's temptations is evil.

"I don't know what to make of that...." I appreciate the man's honesty. He is so erudite and eloquent - yet he refuses to baffle us with bullshit. I never used that term before - never. But it's out there now - and I'm not retracting it. I was looking for an earlier video where Dr. Peterson tells of his vision - wanted to share it with a friend. Of course, my assigned demon is making it hard for me to find that particular video. I used to call him my, "resident demon" - but that was a poor choice of words. He doesn't possess me, but he is a familiar companion that I have allowed to influence me for too long. I'll stop here, but let me say that when I first heard this vision and God's answer, it was a revelation for me. Thanks for sharing this version.

God will never give you more than you can handle. “Because I knew you’d win” I shouted that out before Jordan said it. Then wept when he did say it.

I like the vision One word comes to mind purpose

Broooooooooooooo just now seeing this

I've noticed this as well. 51 so far.

Prior to our coming to earth life, I think God warned us all. He said that earth would be very hard, unfair, cruel, sad and sometimes barbaric. He asked us all individually if we thought we wanted to participate in this. And, knowing the challenges and the eventual rewards, everyone of us said, yes, I want to go... I want the chance to learn , to understand, to achieve, to progress and to become.

“I can’t put a lever underneath that argument…that’s what I am trying to do. I’m trying to break it.” (Not a perfect quote) @7:30. Genius! Now I understand what he means by beliefs are like tectonic plates to stand on. Such wisdom. I just want to dig into the Word deeper.

There’s a good example of this here in 2 Corinthians 12:1-10 Paul’s got some amazing insight into what Mr Peterson’s talking about. Who is Paul? What’s his story? Hmmm look it up :-)

Love, compassion, forgiveness are good.Everything that makes a full life possible for everyone is. Cruelty, oppression, selfishness, indifference to people's suffering, arrogance, greed are evil

ITS ALL ABOUT HOW WE REACT TO THE SITUATION HOW WE TREAT EACH OTHER WHAT DOESNT KILL US MAKES US STRONGER

Please God take us all away from Satan forever and bring us to your glorious heaven where we can feel your endless love forever.

We can also know Bro

beloveth jordan, pray all is well!!! i have truly appreciated your speeches & am looking forward to one day meeting with you. you, in so many words remind me of an 'albert einstein' of clinical psychologists; thought upon thoughts & theories upon theories. Therefore, i pray you Tune In (tomorrow) To hear (Directly) From The LORD - Covering This Topic. 🙏 love you, shalom

Blessed are those that have true faith.🙏 They tried to stop us speaking ( masks) they tried to stop us hearing ( churches closed) And they tried to stop us feeling ( social distancing) so thank you believers as now we can do those things. And of course our father God .🙏 Amen.

"Lies and Deception Destroy People's Lives... And When They Start Telling The Truth and Acting It Out --- Things Get A Lot Better."

God is all about love and forgiveness, and maybe also loyalty. The hardest thing to forgive your children for is lack of loyalty.

I would like to be more bold in my faith. I'm also aware that it's harder to come down from the mountains of self-righteousness than rise from your own hell.

God likes overcomers. Hard to do without something to overcome. The wind makers the tree stronger.

Does any one know where I can listen to this full lecture?

For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is through our Lord Jesus Christ

Is this what it’s like to “wrestle with God?” Jordan has wrestled with these ideas for a while, and I pray he finds what he needs.

He always gives us everything that we can accomplish he knows everything otherwise he would not give it to us!

He keeps it real. Gotta love this guy !

Perhaps he protected us when he set the tree of life out of our reach. Can you imagine the horror of having these life draining struggles of the soul enduring for eternity? That sounds more like hell than heaven. And has anybody noticed that God never beat them over the head by telling them of the future horrors they opened up for their offspring? That is love in it's purest form I believe .

They ate the fruit of the tree of science of good and evil, it wasn’t an apple tree, and they sinned because they desired the same thing Satan did, to become like God. Death described in the scriptures according to how God thinks is not merely the physical death, however, the death God is addressing with Eve when instructing to not eat from the specific tree is the death that would occur between “them, Adam and Eve” in relation to God and their relationship (for lack of better word because this relationship packs a lot of weight in it and is much different than we think it is) through spiritual separation. And that’s exactly what happens, they ate the fruit and became separated from God. So in Genesis 3:22 -23. the scriptures explain why He kicked them out of the garden… it was so they would not eat from the tree of life and become eternally separated from God in Sin. In a nutshell this is the surface of what happened because there’s a lot more packed in these initial chapters.

Wow!! From 6:00 I ask myself this all the time! What is the reason! Wow!

It's showing the individual fight of god verus the devil. It's your duty to always keep Jesus in your heart and soul. We are the holy seat of God on earth. If even one negative thought pushes Him a little more out of his seat. He will not share his seat tells us. We have to remove all evil and negativity in all things including thoughts. Like I believe we were taught a thought is just as bad as doing. So with even the smallest sinful thought you give the thrown seat to the devil fully for that second cause if there is any negativity in there. The lord will be no where around it. Leaving yourself open.. As with you and everyone God Bless! Luke - the light or to enlighten.

I really appreciate what your channel does in showing Professor Jordan Peterson's great understanding of Christianity. I hope in the future you will check out more Christ centered and Scripturally accurate content for the furtherance of The Gospel of The Lord Jesus Christ 🙏❤️. This has nothing and everything to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a fellow Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't. I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict. Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers. Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of but not macro or micro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word. Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant.

I believe that you are right that there is a testing, though God doesn't test. God gave us Jesus as a covering of our nakedness, our sinning nature.

When Adam and Eve disobeyed God , eating of the tree of knowledge they became conscious , they could realize right from wrong , so they had fear and hid themselves. Before conscience, we would not understand very much at all. We would be like a lambs.

It's true in the way he says, AND it's true in many respects literally.

God was in control he knew that man kink had to go through this pain to understand good and evil

Free will does not bring you through the flaming sword to the Tree of Life. The flaming sword keeps you from the way. You can't see The Tree of Life! Only when God makes you alive can you see. Praise Jesus, Michael Idarecis

Sin is missing the mark and evil is the absence of the good

This was my exact understanding of reality. A mechanic builds a race engine and says it's amazing and unbreakable. A listener says give me the keys to the car and il test to see if your claim is true. Well do you give over the keys or not? We're getting ragged on low oil at 9500rpm, but we're still here - Glory to God Almighty 🙌

Life is a test

At 1st I did not define good and evil. I accepted the definition of The Bible. But as I grew and came into contact with evil, I recognized it by seeing the effects of certain deeds, on people's lives. So the product determines the seed. When we see a maple tree, we know the seed. So then I began to look for the signs of the seed. I didn't have look very hard. but as I got older and educated, it became difficult to spot. and Evil would make itself home in me. It's difficult to eradicate from one's life. it has so many faces. and often I allowed a little Evil in for something that I thought I had to have. Now it just shows up unannounced. I think it lives in my Garage, and just comes into the house occasionally for entertainment. I'm kidding, kind of. I believe that the physical realm and the spirit realm co-exist and that a part of us is always in the spirit realm. I think it's our mind. If we don't stay out of the shadows, we can take a hit. No one is exempt. It's seriously like the most complicated real time video game ever. And the Stakes are people's lives. including your own.

The trials, test, hardships and sufferings are trying to get you to denounce God. IF you don’t- you are faithful. Just like Job. Job prayed to, plead with, argued, begged, cried, and questioned, God, but he did not denounce God. He said, “ Your will, not mine.”

Duality is the nature of the earthbound human, the difficulty lies within the balance of the beam of truth..when it strikes you will you Waken?? Peeling away the unknowing is healing..all conditions youve been through ..they are all experiences ,, all cups, with lessons,,,,, .realizing the consciousness between the two energy fields is a unified choice.... that vast Kaleidescape of energetic frequency that we each may experience...and ultimately chose....

Good and evil. .What's the feed back facility s condition ?

Because He loves us He gives us choice… That’s real love, freedom to decide if you’ll obey Him and choose Him.

By eating the fruit and disobeying God so now he can't except you until you ask for forgiveness showing obedience just by you having faith that God sent his only Son to die for our sins that separated us from God because of evil. The Holy Spirit speaks directly to God for us once you're baptized.

Where was this talk? Was it on his recent tour?

Hello YT Creator, Where did/do you get the music for your videos? Always epic, usually strings. Hope you answer since this video is very new. Thanks

I don’t agree with all of Homie’s political believes but I gotta say I’m a recovering heroin addict and everything he says it’s pretty spot on boys you have to have faith you can’t do this alone doesn’t have to be God it doesn’t have to be Jesus you have your own personal relationship with your higher power and there’s so much man more to this earth there’s so much we’re missing right now and it’s so important to have someone like him speak to a young man

Rather than underlining it why not meat it with another word, "consept" that would solve said puzzle. Meat them in the middle rather than putting to an to together.

The finite trying to understand the infinite and creation to the creator

The last thing that you said describes what God wants. He wants you to know the power of good over evil. Most people go straight to the evil without thinking of the consequences. These people are snakes, never thinking of others and always thinking they can get away with evil as they defend hell.

Free will would not exist if we could not choose.

You believe. Test is OK & Testing Isn't good to many times. Do it all straight away with the thought that you know. Remember when your having fun someone is not. Truth is the way. Thank you Jordan. Good man.

There is “to know” and “ to know” to know of something and to know by the experience A&E knew “of wrong” then they disobeyed and now the knew by the experience. A&E stopped trusting what they “knew of(what they had experienced) and now their birthright was broken. 100% Free will a choice by all of us, and since then the Creator has perused the creation, not violating our Free Will. The question is does the creation love the creator? If so then….

Ask Christians who know their stuff the answers to these questions like you would ask any expert in a given subject, then if the various answers don't satisfy then speculate. It's about obedience to God, like a computer is obedient to its electricity supply. Things work when you are obedient, they don't when you're not. That's the lesson. It is deeper than any of us ultimately understand but that's one aspect.

(BG 18.66): Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reaction. Do not fear

still Astounds me that people think that Satan is an external agent, a being. other than ourselves

How do you fight evil people!

You cannot have good without evil in the same sense you cannot have day without night or negative without positive . It's not to say that you have to keep living in the dark but to learn how to rise above and appreciate the dark for making you that much stronger. These two forces are what make the miracle of life we are stronger together then apart in the same sense as our political system .

If a psychologist tells you he had a vision, he's the one who needs a psychologist.

No value without choice stood out to me… ultimate free choice…the angels in heaven have to have free choice as well because the devil as an angel chose to go against God and was cast out… so even Jesus was tempted but He overcame that temptation…it’s a question I’d like to ask one day in Heaven….

People experience the power of the Lord when they are at their weakest point. The Lord's strength is made perfect in our weakness. Many have heard the Lord speak to them in their body, but do not realize it is Him. But He longs to visit our house, & yet the house of the Lord is our body. If we see visions & dreams, it is after the spirit of the Lord has been poured out on us, & after angels like stars have entered into our mind as if it were a heaven. As it is written.

To the question why put a flaming sword in front of the entrance of the garden of Eden to prevent us from eating of the tree of Life; because had we eaten from the tree of life then we would be forever stuck in our sinful nature. Yet now through the resurrection of Christ, and if we chose to accept his gift and offer to have him take our place for our punishment and God's judgement, in exchange we receive Christ righteousness and blessings and are saved from hell; we will be finally able to eat from the tree of Life that is in heaven. The Bible talks about this especially in Revelations 22

So gnostic

Good and Evil have rules. The good of one is often the evil of another, and vice versa.

Us an them?

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. Isaiah 45:7 KJV

Peterson looks like he is still having the vision in the title screen.

Hi Dr. Peterson, Some ideas drawn from the bible, if taken literally, are really problematic too (i.e., snakes, trees). Apart from that, why would you believe it is not a good idea to share your visions? I had an enlightenment a few years ago which finally settled my mind so that I could finally live happily. I began to speak of this to my mother and immediately, she stops me, and says, "You're not supposed to talk about details like that!" But, why not? ~Fey.

God said to Himself let Us make man in Our image and in Our likeness, it is not until they eat the fruit God says to Himself, now they are like Us knowing good from evil.

In my way of thinking, Jordan must yet come to realize (in his Spiritual walk) that man *can NOT win* against Satan. That is why we (man) needs to be *saved* , by God, himself.
