I just had a realization on Jordan B. Peterson's philosophy and his error about faith.
He in a lot of ways ressembles an atheist because he actually thinks like a gnostic. He rejects materialism so hard that he sees any way to ground the spiritual in the physical as a way to de-mystify God and make the Faith purely about facts, without making it about carrying one's own cross.

But rejecting the physical and calling it bad is basically what gnosticism amounts to. Sure, he has a point in saying that we shouldn't just focus on facts without living a spiritual life behind it, and it is the big sickness of modern christians without the shadow of a doubt, these christians be they on the left or the right of the political spectrum, but separating the physical and the spiritual is once again misunderstanding gravely the nature of God, of revelation, of Jesus, the Bible and the intrinsic duality that lies within the gospel.

I unironically am probably gonna write a book on the subject because the duality of nature is so deeply rooted in christian theology that a misunderstanding of it can lead one astray pretty far.
Faith isn't just about the actions, it is also about confession and belief. As Jesus is both divine in nature and human, revelation is ALWAYS both spiritual and allegorical AND historical. There is no separating both, there is no part of the Bible that is either one or the other, they are ALWAYS both.
And I'm sure that if Peterson understoof this duality, he'd have less of a problem actually confessing God as a real entity.

He's still entirely correct if he thinks western christianity is overly focused on the physical in my opinion. I believe this over-focus on the physical and the "factual" is the driving reason behind eastern religions (hinduism, buddhism) exploding in popularity in the west with the hippie movement. Because while those religions are false, they also offer an escape from the soulless husk that western christianity has become. Your people created the ticking time bomb yourself. Sorry to say that but an actual friend says it as it is without sugar coating.
 
I should state an elementary truth : scientists, if we are speaking merely about muh facts, do usually know a lot that I might not know. But what we want in religion is not merely facts. What we want is true philosophy and true theology. A theology that does not change itself just because a bunch of worldly scientists demand it. And that is why I am Orthodox. Even something as theocratic as Shia Islam bent the knee to evolutionists. But Orthodoxy did not.

Very true, but as with most things regarding theology, the truth is veiled in a complexity that far surpasses the simple extremes of human social tendencies.
Also, western christianity has this tendency of always being very passionate, maybe because of the nature of the people in the West, and therefore it tends to always go from one extreme to the other. I mean that's the reason Protestantism was born in the first place.

There is good in this because in each drastic change there is a real will to root the corruption out in an overly dramatic fashion, but it tends to leave wounds behind in doing so, and most times it tends to also fall into the opposite extreme.
Just measure is something that we have to learn but we're getting there. I truly do believe that this passion of western christians is also how western christianity has managed to spread so far so fast and still does so in very weird places of the world like Africa and persecuted countries like China and even North Korea.

Western christianity is not lost, far from it, but I do fear the reaction that will be born out of current tendencies, if we end on the drastic opposite side we might once again harm ourselves.

Yeah but you cannot have one without the other.
Peterson is purely in the spiritual, and that leads him to say things like "Did Jesus rose from the dead ? Well what does that mean ?" Because he sees everything as spiritual mythological significant objects of studies, and not necessarily as historical facts, which leads to problems when talking especially about the resurrection of Christ.

I think it has been lost since 1054. But you do you.

There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. Deuteronomy 18:10-11

Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God. Leviticus 19:31

If a person turns to mediums and necromancers, whoring after them, I will set my face against that person and will cut him off from among his people. Leviticus 20:6

Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. Revelation 22:15

Then I will draw near to you for judgment. I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against those who swear falsely, against those who oppress the hired worker in his wages, the widow and the fatherless, against those who thrust aside the sojourner, and do not fear me, says the Lord of hosts. Malachi 3:5

And he burned his sons as an offering in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, and used fortune-telling and omens and sorcery, and dealt with mediums and with necromancers. He did much evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking him to anger. 2 Chronicles 33:6

and say, Thus says the Lord God: Woe to the women who sew magic bands upon all wrists, and make veils for the heads of persons of every stature, in the hunt for souls! Will you hunt down souls belonging to my people and keep your own souls alive? Ezekiel 13:18

@Aedra where do you think video games like Diablo and World of Warcraft get this shit... Harry Potter and the SORCERERS Stone.... read your Bible bro, pagan faggotry aka paggotry is in your face and you don't even realize it. Even your television is witchcraft... wake up normies. Good thing you have pastor Nagolbud to bring you these dank Biblical Chud Star truths.. you ain't gonna hear it in a freemason pharisee church. You are SPELLING out some words right now I'm sure.. let me cast a CURSE on you for a debuff... this world is fallen and ya'll deepthroat mainstream shills. @Nihilma

This is what happens when you trust the "church" and its "authority"...

>Having an ugly wife is sinful

I'm torn between unfathomably based and completely retarded

Also nagolbaba, I'm not a catholic or orthodox. The only ones willing to give me communion are protestants. I'm just really interested in eucumenism.

Just accept you've been lied to your entire life bb. It's easier that way, I promise.
 
Everyone tells me what they think heresy is.

Eucumenism allows me to discern what is and isn't heresy through debate and talk.

Eucum to religious fags. The Bible allows you to discern what is and isn't heresy. It's that simple.
