I saw a video about why you should be afraid of people who say, "It is what it is," last week. I don't think I watched it, that's what I was looking for when I posted this. (Edit) Here it is... If you know someone who uses the phrase "It is what it is", trust me they are fu**ing dangerous! That's probably about right. Maybe I'm just jaded from losing so many friends from Prez HomoPedo's clot-shot mandates, but that's the way I look at it. I can't bring anybody back. It is what it is. Peterson says, "maybe...if you live your life thoroughly...the only way to combat fear of death is to live fully" Humanistic fluff. In the video, Peterson merely gives a nod to Christianity and the Bible. He mentions Christ...but not as Savior and God. By listening carefully to what he says, I can tell that Peterson does not believe in what the Bible promises regarding the resurrection of humans from death. This is Peterson's condition... This, then, is relief from the fear of death...
I'm not what you'd call very religious, probably more of a moralist, or as you call it, a humanist. My beliefs are kind of a hybrid of the Bible and The Nine Noble Virtues of Asatru. I just try to do the right thing by people the best I can. When we worked concerts in Chicago, I was walking the line at Medusa's. That was a juice bar on Sheffield about a mile south of Wrigley Field. This kid had a pop bottle and he a kind of trying to hide it behind his leg. I said, "Let me see that.' I unscrewed the cap and smelled it. It was straight Jack. I said, "No. You can't have this." He likely got it from home. If he had been holding it like a regular soda I might not have noticed. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
Those virtues of Asatru are some very fine virtues to aspire to. As for me, I need some answers...lol Who created this place? What's our purpose? Why are we in such a mess? Where is God? The Bible gives me those answers...I'm satisfied.
Is Esso going to hell lives up to "The Nine Noble Virtures of Astaru" but he doesn't accept Jesus Christ as his savior? Or are there multiple paths to God?
The Bible says that virtue will not save a man. And that God will allow Esso to go into eternity wherever he wants to go. If Esso does not want to be with God, there is nothing God can do to save Him. Esso's choice.
Esso watchman says you are going to hell unless you accept Christ as savior. He isn't wrong. Think and pray about it Esso.
One more thing...at 4:35 minutes Peterson mentions "the fourth coming famine" but he doesn't elaborate. Seems he's been predicting a famine for the last couple of years and he mentions a book titled "Cometh the Horsemen". The reference is, of course, to the so called 4 horsemen of the apocalypse of Revelation ch.6. How blind is he really. We are currently experiencing the Black Horse of inflation. The Pale Horse is next and I believe soon. The "rulers of the darkness of this world" have sent us warnings. And more recently...from the half time show featuring Beyonce... x.com/Nothing ATL/status/1872062341761953982 The instruction with the tweet is "Look at the horse"
I never said that. Ephesians 2: 8-10, I believe in.
TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people’s door, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy…
but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the Men who just wanted to be left alone.”

Now if Christ is preached, that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised; and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, your faith also is in vain. Moreover, we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise, if in fact the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, then not even Christ has been raised; and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins. Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If we have hoped in Christ only in this life, we are of all people most to be pitied. (1Cor.15:12-19)
Now I say this, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Behold, I am telling you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. But when this perishable puts on the imperishable, and this mortal puts on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written: “Death has been swallowed up in victory. Where, O Death, is your victory? Where, O Death, is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the Law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (1Cor.15:50-57)

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12

And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
