9.5.2018 notes taken at Leidy Church on Jordan Peterson

Issues and Answers Class - Pastor John Niederhaus(!)

brief comment on the current culture in the United States...is reminded of psalm 2.2 - rulers take counsel together against the Lord...let us tear their fetters apart.. in education..'you can Be Whatever you want to Be (genderwise). schools...'gender assigned at birth'...last year Governor Jerry Brown in Calif. threatened jail time for any health care professional who refuses to use a child's preferred designation. (similar to 'forced conversion'. Jordan Peterson (* signifies statements assigned to JP) is a secular prophet and refuses to kow tow to this form of slavery.  *FREE SPEECH IS NECESSARY. OTHER SIDE... other side..'we need to be kind. *'kindness' of this kind is a power play. * is alleged to be an alt-right figure...(ie. neo-nazi, etc....note - group buzz words in order to condemn (ie. read 'SILENCE', by supposed association  with evil, utterly unacceptable beliefs) freedom of speech vs. freedom from consequence.  * 'I am not using speech required of me...put me in jail. I'll go on  a hunger strike..if talking to someone use the title he prefers but refuse to be compelled by government to speak a certain way. if a person finds a different word 'damaging' then he might be 'in favor' of a society deciding  (on acceptable terms)....(but this will never happen(!) totalitarianism is on the horizon. by not taking a complete rejection of of individuals and organizations (ie. Schools) that are tools of value determination  we abate  (def - lessen, diminish) them and allow ongoing destruction of civilization to proceed without protest. these current concepts and same as Marx. class conflict...now 'identity politics'. post modernism will do  to civilization what it has already done to the (training-of-the -children) school system. this system causes a 'false empathy' ie. these  past systems have brutally, deliberately destroyed people. Peterson calls it insane. Ps 2 is different 1. they Take Counsel Together against the Lord... 2. Tear their Fetters   (ie. God-restraints) Peterson was psychologist for 30 years (children act out (in new situations) because they (unconsciously) test the power structure in new situation...parents (good) let them know that THE RULES ARE THE SAME IN EVERY SITUATION (morality vs. freedom) parents should TAKE REVENGE ON  them for braking the code. must figure out how you are going to brake the code.  figure out how you are going to Stop unacceptable behavior. if you help your child this way they will be able to relate to people properly...have relationship based on truth rather than lies... HAVE COURAGE TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE DO RIGHT. DO WHAT YOU DO WELL AND DO IT ETHICALLY.  (Must have hierarchies of confidence)AIM FOR THE TOP. MAKE SOMETHING OF YOURSELF . YOU CAN BE A BLOODY WORLD BEATER. LEAR TO TALK; LEARN TO THINK; MAKE THE WORLD HAPPY THROUGH YOUR EXCELLENCE. DON'T COMPARE YOURSELF.

 what is J. Peterson doing? (Pastor Neiderhaus) he is limited to general revelation.  he loves the Bible 'Bible is foundational document of Western Civilization. it can reveal much good) there is no place for God in his thinking. has nothing to say about the after life etc. he says nothing about Jesus
