sophism 101. This israeli grifter got rawdogged by Zizek

He's mentally ill and retarded, but what did Jesus say to recommend to not identify as a Christian so as not to "trivialise" the claim of being a Christian? How do people fall for word salad so consistently.

I'm a Christian and I can't stand Peterstein. He's a charlatan.

Can we just all agree JBP pre and post the benzo withdrawal self-induced coma is not the same person.
I have to compartmentalise it anyway because pre-coma JBP helped me and I cant stand to hear post-coma JBP screech into the void one more time.

Is he a Hegelian or just juxtaposition for brain dead streamers like vash and hasabi

>but what did Jesus say to recommend to not identify as a Christian so as not to "trivialise" the claim of being a Christian?

same here. I believe in Christianity but since I'm such a shit person I don't tell anyone I am a Christian.

>>24612337
not even that. culturally he's a scumbag Jewish sophist.

imagine having such a low IQ you need to be spoonfed that jordan peterson doesnt require being called a christian, if the etymological rising of the term christian became as a moreso literal slur among rome, as a "Christ freak"; catholics umbrella'd a community of christians (apostles and passionate students of the apostles called elders) which encompassed the priorly mentioned; and the newly integrated curious follower, the latter being either lukewarm or not having felt sufficient to earn the title of a follower of Jesus; often having the connotations of being associated with the twelve saints original followers of Jesus who cast out demons and commited miracles such as healing.

Jordan Peterson's dialect evades leftist censorship in a way that can be hard to detect if you're not paying enough attention to the subject of history; in the first place.

Given Peterson's background, it's no wonder th average poster, under common core curriculum, is simply gone right past the heads of unsuspecting.

peterson IS a cultural christian BUT he doesn't understand WHY he's one (concerning)

I get why they were called the dark web thinkers of our time but the guy never goes deeper than the surface.

Peterson actually trying to live Christ's teachings makes the wicked mald so badly.

I read this and think he might be based
Am I just retarded?

You cannot be a cultural Christian. The rules are clear - you either believe in the supernatural claims, or you're out. It doesn't accept the lukewarm and those with only one foot in, like Judaism and Buddhism.
JP comes across as a phony for the same reason that fake gangsta rappers do.
On the other hand, someone like Russell Brand can get away with this grift. He throws himself into his new religion with the same enthusiasm with which he threw himself into drug addiction and pussy chasing. There's no doubt that Brand has both his feet in, whatever else you think about him. He signed up to the club and accepted all the rulebook wholesale, and everyone both inside and outside the club can respect that. Christianity is perfect for such uncomplicated and sincere individuals.
What JP actually wants is to use religion as allegory for his personal moral development and character building. Lots of intelligent individuals in the history of Christendom who had trouble accepting the woo woo thought the same, and they went behind closed doors and became Masons and Rosicrucians and what not, Jefferson rewrote the bible to achieve such a thing.
So, why doesn't he just become a Freemason? I'd guess because it limits grifting opportunities; it's hard to sell books and podcasts to millions without breaking the oaths of secrecy.

>>24612385
Again I ask: what did Jesus say to recommend to not identify as a Christian so as not to "trivialise" the claim of being a Christian?
Hard mode: answer the question. Your special interest in History doesn't interest me, I'm afraid.

You're now the proud author of August's leading Pseud Copypasta! I hope it can be surpassed.

Moral nihilism is true. There is no "moral".

i'll leave it as him just not wanting to deal with the storm of character assassinations, when suddenly he comes out as a christian; leftists will tear him apart for his addictions and shortcomings; something Peterson wants to avoid, as it's an entire red herring leftists often resort to in debunking the moral fruits offered by undertaking christian faith.

Theosis is the concept of the man conjoining into the divine nature of christ; a constant purification, trial by fire; a deification that takes a life time for most. It's an often agreed upon concept in the early christian church in the first to third century; take Clement, or Origen in the mid-first century: theosis is a process by which man, through contemplation and purification, made is made like Christ Jesus, the living embodiment of God in flesh.
