"Luther was obsessive about confession. In fact, it eventually got to the point that his confessor—who ended up being Staupitz—began to get fed up with his maddeningly overscrupulous confessee. Once, Luther actually continued confessing for six consecutive hours"
It is not possible to be 100% honest
There is not enough time to describe things 100% perfectly
Also you do not want to be 100% honest because people will use that information to steal, defraud from you and exploit you
You want to be as reasonably honest as safely possible and time permits
@fal1026 @basedbagel @shortstories How can Peterson be taken seriously when he claimed, notwithstanding his regretful criticism, that subscribers of MGTOW were "pathetic weasels." This "Paragon of Intellect" can't uphold his own principles that he prescribes to his followers - Rules 2 and 6. To put it bluntly, he's a suicidal drug addict whose house isn't in order but wishes for people to live with individual responsibility when he can't do the same. Tradcons and cognitive dissonance... 🤦🏻♂️
@fal1026 @basedbagel @shortstories Which part of what I said was false? He made disparaging remarks to people with a different philosophical view to him and is hypocritical because he can't uphold what he espouses to his followers. However, this does not mean I want him cancelled as he can freely express himself howsoever he wants.
This doesn't mean I'm compelled to agree with everything he says as it defeats the purpose of free flowing discourse. Tell me more about your understanding of him.
@fal1026 @basedbagel @shortstories Talking points from who, exactly? I'm already aware of his apology he regretfully made a while ago.
What's the utility of following his prescriptions at face value when he cannot do the same for himself? Strange, isn't it?
What makes MGTOW so pathetic when its a reaction to the failure of traditional conservatism in this day and age? It appears that critical thinking and common sense is a grand indictment from the likes of you.
Why so defensive?
@fal1026 @basedbagel @shortstories I have no doubt that he can, as I'm impressed with what he can do in a debate and has a way with words. But, this doesn't mean I'm going to agree 100% with what he says though. His political leanings is evident seeing that he's unfairly ostracised by the leftist status quo, which is quite typical of a Christian tradcon. As for his condition, especially for a man under constant pressure by the media and other stresses incurred, explains his drug dependence.
@fal1026 @basedbagel @crimsonrealist
My opinion is Jordan Peterson sounds very reasonable in short duration debates on news clips
But when given time without limit to do a monologue speech in front of a audience without a second speaker to argue with
Then he sounds like a madman
Whether or not Christianity is true
Jordan Peterson does not seem to represent a Christian worldview
@fal1026 @basedbagel @crimsonrealist
The Christian worldview is that historical events happened as described in the Bible
that these events show that the words God told prophets would happen were fulfilled confirming God gave words to profits
that a certain moral code which you can know based on the words which God gave prophets should be attempted to be followed in one's life
that God has forgiven those who fail to live up to the code & taught about his forgiveness through a incarnation
@fal1026 @basedbagel @crimsonrealist
The incarnation is that God who has no flesh and blood body created a flesh and blood body to represent himself in the form of the human Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ lived according to the moral principles God taught humanity that other humans would not obey
And demonstrated God's love and forgiveness to humanity even while being killed and tortured
@fal1026 @basedbagel @crimsonrealist
Claiming the Bible stories are only metaphors means
1 The prophets did not exist
2 The history did not occur
3 The prophets claims about the future were not fulfilled in history confirming God spoke to them
4 The moral teachings of the Prophets were not given to them by God
5 Jesus was not the incarnation of God in the flesh because Jesus did not exist
@fal1026 @basedbagel @crimsonrealist
He could be some guy who believes you can learn lessons from Bible stories and from talking to or listening people in Churches but that is not enough to make him a Christian in his worldview
I am not saying there is anything wrong with learning lessons from the Bible without believing the Bible is a history book
I am not saying people should have to teach a Christian worldview
I am saying the minimum Christian worldview is to believe Jesus existed
@fal1026 @basedbagel @crimsonrealist
In any of the thousand hours you listened
Did Jordan Peterson say Jesus Christ existed as a real person in history?
@fal1026 @basedbagel @crimsonrealist
The problem is not Christianity falling to Atheism
The problem is fake Chrustians who worship government Authority figures and fake Atheists who worship government authority figures
They are not really atheists or christians because their gods are government authority figures

Jordan Peterson treating Bible stories as only metaphors and not history means he does not teach a Christian worldview
I am not saying whether or not Jordan Peterson will go to Hell if and when he dies
I am not saying whether or not a Christian worldview is correct
But Jordan Peterson does not teach Christianity
