01/09/2023 – “The Importance of Being Ethical” with Jordan Peterson/ Peter Robinson – Interviewer – “Uncommon Knowledge” // Whoa! – 1 of 2
Nancy and I got unexpectantly locked into this one hour interview late last night and couldn’t let it go. It was a blessing. It is not about the messengers but an interview between Jordan Peterson and Peter Robinson is indeed a treasure. I try to live by Romans 12:2; this one hour was brain stimulating. “Free time” is precious but no regrets on this one!
Jordan still takes the position he is not comfortable with “Do You Believe in God”. That is covered here briefly. Yet on YouTube, I saw 19 lengthy lectures on Genesis including: “The Psychological Significance of Biblical Stories: Genesis Meaning, Awe and Conceptualization of God”. I won’t sacrifice my prayer and bible study for this series, but I am putting it on my “fun” list. Maybe I take out the 3 hours of lecture on : “Meaning, Awe and Conceptualization of God”. That is an easy choice over say, spending 3 hours to watch a national championship football game!
So, don’t be surprised if I come back with a group discussion on this blog on “Meaning, Awe, and Conceptualization of God.”
Given the evil of our world, Peter Robinson asks at the end: “One sentence: What would you tell incoming freshmen in college?” Jordan’s response: “Don’t let them tell you your ambition is corrupt.” Jordan is one public figure that I don’t have to put on my prayer list. It just flows! And that prayer would appropriately start with a praise report to God for giving him to us.
Soli Deo Gloria!
