Jordan Peterson is certainly a very interesting character for those who are engaged in the Conservative Christian movement. One thing, many people find, particularly interesting is his deep understanding of biblical principles and their applications. It is particularly interesting seeing how he applies his area of expertise (clinical psychology) to passages from the Bible. I, for one, I found it, particularly enlightening and helpful on occasion.
My main criticism of Peter, so it’s not that I believe what he’s doing his heretical, but it’s hard to pinpoint where exactly he stands in the Christian faith. Is he a true believer? Is he not? He even admitted himself that he doesn’t go to church. This is where I start to have an issue. Surely if the biblical principles he’s relying on so much is so profound, why wouldn’t he commit his life to Christ, and become a dedicated Christian? Why would he not want to go to church?
This isn’t a criticism of him generally, in fact, I happen to agree with a lot of what he says. My main issue is that I don’t feel like he’s taking the Bible seriously and for what it’s worth. I would love to see him fully come to Christ and to attend a decent Bible-believing church.
