In this episode I comment on Jordan Peterson’s mischaracterization of the story of Jesus and the Rich Young Ruler as well as the idea “Who dares say he believes in God?” (s02e15 of The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast).
There’s too much information (and misinformation) out there to waste time responding to everything we disagree with. However, because I enjoy listening to JP and because I think many people might potentially identify with what he is saying here, I thought it would be worthwhile to offer a response.
Are we willing to call Jesus “good”? That is, are we willing to call Jesus God? This was the issue for the rich young ruler. It is still the issue; both for JP and for all of us.
At the end of the podcast we look at some other passages of Scripture: Jn. 1:1; Jn. 1:14; 1 Tim 3:16; Mt. 1:23; Is. 9:6; Acts 20:28; Col. 2:9; Ro. 9:5; Titus 2:13; Hb. 1:8: Jn. 17:3; Mt. 4:10; Mt. 14:33; Jn. 20:28; Jn. 10:30; Jn 10:33; Jn. 8.58; Mk. 2:5-12; Mt. 26:64; Ro. 3:23; Ps. 51:5; Ro. 5:12; Ga. 1:6-7; 2 Cor. 5:21; Acts 4:12.
