If anyone knows anything about Canadian Jordan Peterson, they know that he is not afraid to speak his mind.
He is very intelligent and appeals to reason and is very outspoken on the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom.
In many ways, when I think of him. I think of American Ben Shapiro.
Both Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson know each other and respect each other.
Recently, Jordan Peterson in a Court of Law, was told he needed to take media sensitivity training.

For those who are interested, I am providing an interview showing Jordan Peterson’s response to the court decision.

https://m.youtube.com/shorts/u3tuZazorpI

I heard recently a conversation on this issue, one person said something I think is true.
It went something like.

“The College would have been better off just leaving Peterson alone. He would still be teaching.”

I believe the person is correct. They created a monster a monster that refuses to be bullied.
We need more people like Peterson, with backbone. Who actually tries to live by his convictions.

Tom

Personally, I don’t trust the guy. If somebody is being propped up by the media, even as an enemy of a tyrannical state, my first impulse is to question his part. Where did this guy come from and why is he the face of freedom?

Supposedly, he attended a Trilateral commission in Europe back in 2018. He’s also a proponent of Carl Jung and his shadow theory (dualism?). I do believe in the idea of controlled opposition. Unfortunately, many characters granted a mainstream platform, or at least mainstream coverage, tend to fall in that category.

Peterson is actually being vilified by the mainline media.
It is only the media on the right whom Trudeau hates that prop up Peterson and are vilified by the left.

I realize that Jordan Peterson is definitely not a Christian.
He is also a trained and licensed psychologist and holds to Jungian psychology.
Over the past few years, he has gained a huge respect for Bible and believes it is true.
Yet because of his background, looks at the Bible more in psychology manner.

He however was basically forced out of his profession, for his insistence in keeping with the views he has
always had.
He has become an enemy of Trudeau and because he has said his views about Trudeau and Woke, he has been ordered
by the courts to take sensitivity training.
Which although he wants to keep his credentials; he will not comply.

He is a big proponent of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and other founding documents. That are completely against what is happening in Canada.
The court recognizes that Peterson has a right to free speech under the charter. But turns around and says because he is a licensed psychologist; he must comply with the rules the Canadian Psychology Association says.
In other words he is not allowed to say what he believes about Woke, or politics.

I disagree with his psychology as all Christians should. However, he is standing against the tide of Woke, WEF tyranny and for that I am thankful.

I have a few non Christians that I know, that see what is happening in Canada and the USA and are alarmed.
They were shocked to learn that many Christian Churches complied with Covid lockdown orders and vilified Churches that refused to comply.
In a few ways, over the last few years; I found that I have almost more in common with them, than I do with some of my Christian family and friends on the issues of our day and I find that very concerning.

Enslavement at the expense of accommodation (sodomy, dysphoria, sterilization, forced gene modification … whatever you wanna call the unGodly disposition/ordinance). What are we promoting/accommodating? Sin & Bondage. Ordo Ab Chao.

Quote
As in everything else in Freemasonry, the motto Order Out of Chaos has several meanings, ranging from nebulous metaphysical deeds to concrete social engineering. On a wider scale, this motto is the ultimate recipe for a drastic change in society: 1) An event causes chaos and panic 2) A solution surfaces which also happens to advance the agenda of the elite 3) Society changes without resistance.

In this day and age, the ultimate goal of the elite is to create a global government that controls the world’s resources while keeping the masses subdued and monitored through police-state tactics. The “solutions”…represent big steps in that direction.

This is why they welcome these moments of chaos. They are opportunities. While the masses suffer and weaken, the elite gains power and control.

You seem to link Woke, with “Freemasonry”.
If that is true, they also have their hands in the WEF and the WHO.
Is that your take?

Listen to Mr. Carlin. Definitely not a Christian. If he can see it why are we so stubbornly blind….

https://m.youtube.com/shorts/nIh9sc4bP_A?si=Npp9_UlPfAuVpPKX

PS. It’s any secret society. Freemasonry is just one of the more high profile entities. It’s behind the scene collusion to not only control the news but to do psych-ops to create realities and direct the future course. They are not concerned about keeping their intentions quiet any longer.

The GOP gives the illusion of hope. The push towards fascism is incremental and the right-left paradigm enables this push from both sides (with a false opposition coming from either/or and a predominantly ignorant populace cheering on empty “victories” from the sidelines).

In America, ultimately, the outrage of the citizenry does by necessity require the elite faction to change course, which is why they are hitting us with so much nonsense these days. Canada is in a very bad way - but you’ve also been more controlled than us.

That’s my take. The elite hate the democrat voters as much as the republican voters. I’m tired of being a useful idiot invested in those who are merely playing a part while making money for themselves. There may be more than one elite faction but nobody is really representing us. They’ll merely go along to get along. None of them truly get anywhere by accident these days (or they eventually get taken down). It’s a very sad state of affairs.

All that being said, I do think there is more of a place on the local level, here in the states, to uphold the rule of law and sensible governing practices.

2 presidential nominees, same secret society….



The word on the street is DeSantis is part of the elite secret society club https://majorkalhoun.substack.com/p/ron-desantis-and-st-elmo-secret-societyhttps://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/20/us/politics/ron-desantis-takeaways.html and the file on Trump is much bigger than what they go after him for in public. https://www.news.com.au/finance/wor...s-story/0aaa8e7f60083d6d91c24ae346ea0e15https://www.timesofisrael.com/report-trump-hosted-cocaine-fueled-parties-with-underage-girls/ …. https://nypost.com/2016/10/25/trump-partied-with-teen-girls-at-the-plaza-hotel-in-the-90s-report/ Compromise and collusion on all sides. Think about it, how hard would it be for a global elite with the most money and power to use secret societies and back door planning to essentially appoint candidates and monopolize a system on various levels (to usher in incremental, radical transformation of society). Throw in the media and intelligence and you have a demonic entity controlling a significant portion of worldly/global affairs. This reality actually fits in quite nicely with our theology, anthropology, soteriology…. ultimately.

This was the worst one related to Trump. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crim...-light-of-defamation-lawsuit/ar-AA18DunI

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...ts-underage-victims.html#article-8320163 …Maybe Trump never engaged in statutory rape, but there’s plenty of blackmail smoke surrounding him (and that’s typically by design for anyone in the running for president). One mention of these allegations can make a president fall in line. And it appears the majority of our presidents eventually fall in line.

So, my gut instinct is that Peterson is merely a pawn in one way or another.

A good article warning against the manipulated and the
double-minded (secret societies & the church).
Note: A lot of the highly public entities are either personally profiting from the controversies of our current day or acting as double-agents (double-minded). We can’t serve two masters….

*Unfortunately, I have come to see the futility of politics outside a more localized jurisdiction.

*Also, via cursory review, UK-Canada has historically had a sketchy union, with Canada quite possibly providing cover / secret planning and support for the South during the Civil War at the behest of the UK banking elite and assisting in the assassination (plot) against Lincoln.

It is very true that Globalists are both on the Right and the Left.
George W Bush for example was a Globalist.

In Canada, even before he was elected Justin Trudeau said that he is not
a Canadian, he is a Globalist.
It is also no secret, that Trudeau is one of the biggest supporters of the World
Economic Forum.

Actually, I am not really understanding where your gut feeling is coming from.
Peterson, though definitely not a Christian. Is saying many of the same things some of the theologians
preachers are saying.
Dr. Voddie Baucham, Tom Ascol, Samuel Waldron, Erwin Lutzer, Ligonier Ministries, for example have said many of the same things about
what is happening in society now.

Peterson, as I mentioned earlier, is hated by Trudeau and is trying to be stopped at every turn, by the professional organization of which he has his credentials with.

By the way at one time, for a few months my wife and I attended
a CRC. It seemed solid for a few weeks; but then we started seeing a few red flags.
The biggest one being they were big supporters of ‘The Hour of Power’.
Which was a ministry of ‘Crystal Cathedral’ in California.
I went to the pastor about my concerns and he told me in no uncertain terms
that the Hour of Power’ was very much in keeping with Reformed Theology.
Needless to say that was the last tone we attended that Church.

So my main point in mentioning this; is reading the link you gave, really did not
surprise me.

As for Canada playing a role in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.
Though nothing really surprises me anymore. I do know that Canada was very much
against the slave trade during that period of time.
In fact, slaves often escaped to Canada, in what was often called ‘The Underground Highway’.

Of course that does not necessarily mean there were not many in Canada that would have
a vested interest in having Lincoln assassinated.

He doesn’t sincerely represent your values. He’s controlled opposition. Why was he even there if it were not true?

All do respect, I am beginning to think you and I hold to the opposite political views.

Pettersson is not a Christian, but he stands up for Christians and holds the same political views they do.
He being a Canadian, is against the Trudeau and the left, who are Woke.
He is being punished for having a political opinion that is contrary to Trudeau and Woke.
Woke in case you do not know, is being pushed in the educational institutions such as where he used to teach.

He is saying a lot of the very same things Reformed pastors such as Voddie Baucham and pastors in Canada who were arrested for keeping their Churches open during Covid-19.
Who by the way in a court of law dispite having spent time in jail, were found innocent of crimes.

If you believe Pettersson is on the wrong side; to be consistent you must believe these pastors were wrong.

By the way, these pastors, much like Jordan Pettersson have a much louder voice than they did before.

I hope I did not come on too strong in my last post.
The video you provided of Peterson at the Trilateral Commission is about 5 years ago.

Did you hear anything in his speech that led you to believe he agrees with the values of that organization?
I sure did not.

A friend of mine who watched that video, believes they invited Peterson to speak, to see how the opposition thinks.

However, if you have heard/watched any of his most recent videos, he speaks at conferences that are anti-woke, and anti-WEF.
Such as the one he did in Alberta Canada, with Tucker Carlson.

Hey Tom,

No I didn’t get offended. After years of disappointment by men appointed to do the right thing, I’ve concluded that there are many who talk a good game but have either self-imposed or outwardly applied constraints that prevent them from being either wholly truthful or wholly active in their response to lawlessness and injustice. That’s just my hot take on these matters.

Also, I think there are many pastors who are either too preoccupied or too oblivious of civil affairs to be helpful - Wilson & Keller are examples of each. So I’m very cynical of most of these celebrity mouth-pieces (both political & religious).

One of the criticisms of JP (and maybe this is incorrect, although I’m naturally skeptical), is this…. and Remember, there are no reliable and credible news sources, and since justice delayed is justice denied, sometimes all we have left is to connect the dots…

Quote
“…he talks about how rich he has become running his shtick. This video (“Jordan Peterson Dismantled”) in it entirety,
..is a litany about what this decidedly nasty player is really all about.

If you go a little deeper into Peterson’s background, you’ll see his association with Jim Balsillie, former CEO of Blackberry’s Research in Motion. They worked on something called Resilient People, Resilient Planet. Balsillie awarded George Soros with the CIC Globalist of the Year award on Nov. 15, 2010, in Toronto, Canada. The CIGI (Centre for International Governance Innovation) globalism school in Kitchener/Waterloo, Canada, is run by Jim Balsillie.

Peterson was put in place by his spawn-producing think-tank mentors on a U.N. panel that produced a document that is essentially a NWO blueprint. This document was later built upon and referenced by a U.N. panel that John Podesta sat on called The United Nations High-Level Panel of Eminent Persons on the Post-2015 Development Agenda.

..psychologist Norman Doidge, who’s a colleague and personal friend of Peterson and with whom he sometimes gives talks, wrote the foreword to Peterson’s new book “12 Rules for Life.” Dodge also comes out of the CIGI network. In the book foreword, Doidge wrote that a.. TV producer named Wodek Szemberg, who was “always on the lookout for potential public intellectuals,” met Peterson in 2004. Szemberg worked at TV Ontario producing a show called “The Agenda,” and it was also involved with CIGI. Suffices to say, Peterson as a made man had help- lots of it.

He did his post-doctoral work under Maurice Dongier. Dongier obtained his degree in psychiatry in 1954 at McGill University, training at the Allan Memorial Institute. The Allan Memorial Institute was founded and directed by Donald Ewen Cameron, who was contracted by the CIA to conduct MKUltra mind control experiments at McGill between the years 1957 and 1964. After completing his post-doc, Peterson then went on to teach at Harvard for five years, taking up Timothy Leary’s old position. Quite a pedigree…”

Here’s a guy, Matt Walsh, who was mentioned on another thread, who actually speaks to an event that doesn’t pass the smell test, (although he makes a passing remark about the SandyHook “Adam Lanza” Shooting where I guess he accepts the report at face value). Anyway, if the folks we look to can’t get answers, or don’t even bother, are they really so useful? Things will move along in the direction that God has ordained. Why waste time on guys who can’t get to the truth or are paid to play the victim? I don’t need Jordan Peterson (or even Matt Walsh) to tell me “the truth” while they make money off me. It’s good to see folks willing to speak out, but if they can’t broaden their awareness, or even worse, are just playing along, how useful are they? Sometimes, playing the victim, is just a job, and it can be pretty lucrative.

WALSH: 58 People Were Killed In Las Vegas, We Still Don’t Know Why Or How, And Nobody Cares
Matt WalshDec 1, 2017
I am goingw to break the rules of the Internet Hot Take Industry and write about an old story that nobody cares about anymore. We have gone on to other topics, and then other topics, and then other topics, and other topics, etc. The news cycle moves at the speed of sound. Events from last week are a distant memory and news from October may as well have occurred during the Cretaceous Period.

Still, I can’t help but recall, ever so faintly, that little thing known at the time as the worst mass shooting in American history. If memory serves, a wealthy 64-year-old gambler named Stephen Paddock murdered 58 people and injured hundreds from the window of his luxury hotel room. In the days after the slaughter, nobody could figure out why he did it, or how he managed to pull it off. So, we all kind of shrugged our shoulders and moved on. The questions were never answered.

It is now two months later and we know as much today as we knew six hours after the shooting. But nobody is talking about it anymore. It’s as if it never happened.

There was a time when a mass shooting of this magnitude would dominate the news for weeks and weeks. Columbine — which paled in comparison to this — was the only thing anyone talked about for at least a month. Even more recent shootings — Charleston, Aurora, Orlando — were in the headlines for much longer than Las Vegas. Yet there were more people shot in Vegas than in Columbine, Charleston, Aurora, and Orlando combined. Twice as many, easily.

Well, I think.

I actually don’t know how many people were shot. They tell us 527 people were injured, along with the 58 killed, but were all of those injuries from gunshots? Did the guy actually physically shoot 585 human beings? Or were some of the injuries from people getting knocked over and trampled in the melee? I would imagine the latter must be the case, but I don’t know. It’s been two months and we still don’t even know how many people Paddock shot. Maybe that number is available somewhere but I couldn’t find it. How is that possible? How could it be two months after the worst mass shooting in American history and we still don’t have a precise and well-publicized casualty count?

And that’s just one unanswered question.

There are many more, because, basically, none of the questions about Las Vegas have ever been answered. And they don’t need to be answered because nobody is asking them. So the questions remain. Questions like:

Why did he do it? We were told it wasn’t terrorism, even though ISIS claimed credit. Okay, then what was it? Was he crazy? But then how did a crazy person manage to orchestrate something like this? And why hasn’t a single person from Paddock’s personal life come forward and called him crazy? All we heard was that Paddock was a normal, rational guy. Dylann Roof was obviously disturbed. Adam Lanza had clear mental issues. James Holmes is a nutcase. The Orlando killer was a terrorist. Every single one of these guys fits into one of two categories: terrorist or lunatic. We’re told Stephen Paddock was neither of those things. What was he? Why did he do it? And why isn’t the media asking why he did it?

In fairness, some media outlets have sued the FBI to gain access to information about the shooting, but they could put more pressure on the Powers That Be if they actually reported on the story and asked this question publicly. Or this question:

How did he do it? We know he used a gun. Or guns. He had dozens of guns in the hotel room with him. How did he get them all in there? How did he set up a kill room in a major American hotel without anyone noticing? How did he manage to shoot hundreds of people from 500 yards away at night? Was he trained? Where did he train? Who trained him?

More questions:

Why did the timeline of the shooting change three times? What’s the current version of the timeline? First they told us a “hero” security guard named Jesus Campos stopped the shooting while it was happening. Then they told us Campos himself was actually shot six minutes before Paddock opened fire on the crowd. Then the hotel told us Campos was shot 40 seconds before Paddock began his massacre. Which is it? None of these? And how could there ever have been any confusion about the timeline? There are video cameras everywhere. There were gun shots being fired in a crowded hotel. Shouldn’t it have been immediately obvious exactly when all of this started?

And what exactly were the police doing? If Campos was shot six minutes before the massacre, and the massacre lasted 10 minutes, why didn’t anyone intervene sometime during that 16-minute time span? Police didn’t finally enter the hotel room until an hour after the shooting stopped. What took them so long? Where were they? In one of the last press conferences about the shooting, the Las Vegas sheriff confirmed that the police were in the hotel when the shooting started. It took them over an hour to get upstairs? Or were they just waiting by the door as Paddock executed 58 people?

And why did it take them a month to disclose that an officer did discharge his weapon inside Paddock’s room? They insisted for weeks that no officer fired a shot. Did they really not know? Or were they withholding the information? Why? And why was a shot fired if Paddock was allegedly already dead when they entered?

And why did Paddock wire $100,000 to the Philippines before the shooting?

And what happened to his missing hard drive? Did they ever find it? And why did he get rid of it? What’s on it?

We’re told Paddock had an escape plan. How could he have ever imagined that he might be able to escape? Did he have some help? Or was he supposed to have help but it fell through?

Why did he stop shooting after ten minutes if he had so many guns and so much ammunition?

Why did he stop shooting yet make no attempt to escape?

And what’s the deal with Jesus Campos? Why did he leave the country immediately after the attack? Why did he refuse to do interviews with any news outlets until suddenly appearing on Ellen, of all places?

And do we know for sure that Paddock was the only shooter? Multiple witnesses swore that there were shots coming from more than one location. Were they mistaken?

And here’s a big one: Why haven’t we seen any video footage of Stephen Paddock whatsoever? Paddock carried out his attack in one of the most monitored cities in the world. You can scarcely find a nook or cranny of Las Vegas that isn’t under video surveillance. Yet not even one second of Paddock video has leaked? No video of him carrying the gun-laden bags into the hotel? No video of him checking in? No video of whatever went down between Paddock and Campos? Not even any video of Paddock at one of the many casinos he frequented? We’re told Paddock spent a lot of time in Vegas. There must be literally hundreds of hours of footage of him spread out between dozens of hotels and casinos. None of it has leaked? All of it was confiscated immediately?

That doesn’t make any sense.

None of this makes any sense.

And maybe it never will make sense, because nobody is paying attention anymore.”
…I’m paying attention, but I’m a nobody…. So move along to the next lie, I guess.

First and foremost; we need to keep our eyes on Christ through whatever happens.

However, that does not mean that we can’t remain informed about what is happening and do what we can.
Which I am told, we can do that more on the local level.
For example, we have a Christian on City Counsel, that is actually not afraid to speak up when he believes something is wrong. In fact, the mayor scolded him for it, but he is not giving in.

Personally speaking, I like to go to Christian sources first; such as ‘The Sword & The Trowel Podcast’.
However, I appreciate it when other sources like Pettersson and Tucker Carlson and a few others go against the
grain of the secular media and actually speak out against the leftist globalist agenda.

Walsh did a good documentary called ‘What is a Woman?’, that I believe did a good job
at showing how insane the LBGQT++ agenda is.

I do not look at these matters, thinking I am a nobody.
We can effect change, if enough of us make our voices heard.
Some small victories have been made; mainly appealing to the Constitution.
Which by the way, is under attack with the left and globalists who stand against our Constitutions.

The bottom line is, we do not leave our Christianity when we enter the public sphere.
Some believe that our only responsibility is to proclaim the Gospel in the public sphere.
Although I believe that should be the priority. I believe it is clear from Scripture, we should stand up
with the truth on policies like abortion, the family and other areas, such as the WEF globalist agenda.

In my research, we are way too late in the game, bowing down to the god of science and the state, especially if we need Matt Walsh to tell us what a woman is. But that’s not an inditement on anyone here. It’s just where the world is, led by the unsilent, empowered minority. I don’t think the majority are informed or even care to be. I think there is so much deception and duplicity going on, it’s more important to make sure we know what we know, while assuming those outside the biblical foundation do not and are susceptible to all kinds of lies / and liars.

Until we look at our hijacked systems and institutions, and reveal those rotted roots, starting with evolution as a foundation for all things (even Darwin realized that natural “evolution” was an oxymoron as far as his Origin of the Species) well, anything goes. Nothing naturally evolves and there is no sanctity found in uncreated beings.
The looking to Jesus is the beginning and end of our problems. That IS THE problem. None of these problems lie outside of Him. As we go further away from acknowledging Him (collectively & individually) the world gets more and more messed up. I’m highly skeptical of anything else righting itself.

Who said anything about needing Walsh to tell us what a woman is?

That is not even what it was about.
He just set out to show people how insane the agenda of Woke culture is.

He really has not said anything that I am not hearing from the theologians that I follow.
However, even if his motives are not honourable. I still appreciate it when the lies of the
Woke culture are exposed.

One of the books I read recently is Voddie Baucham’s ‘Fault Lines- The Social Justice Movement and Evangelicalism’s Looming Catastrophe’.

The book exposes how the Social Justice movement has infiltrated the Church. Making it more like the world than the Church. He names some prominent names in the book that have bit the hook of CRT hook line and sinker.
As you probably know. America is founded upon what is commonly known as the “Judeo-Christian ethic.
This is shown not only in its founding documents; but even in its anthem.

Even non-Christian’s are admitting this; regardless of the fact they say they do not believe in God.
A prominent atheist recently said, that he is against the Woke cancel culture, and it’s anti-free speech and cancel culture.
He understands that it is for his benefit that the Judeo-Christian culture remains intact.

Again, God is in control and as RC Sproul once said: “There is not one rogue molicule in the whole universe.”

Yet, I am finding that some in the Reformed Community think they can just sit back and let God work.
One Christian I know said Christians should not be involved in politics. Sigh…

By the way; on Peterson’s own admission, he was a classic liberal, but finds himself, on the other side of the way the Liberal Party of Canada is now.
He has always been for free speech; which Woke and Trudeau’s Liberals are against. Peterson is also for Traditional Family values.
A friend of mine said recently:”Yesterdays enemies, are todays allies.”

Matt Walsh is fine, for as far as he goes. I agree that many average citizens are waking up. I support the average citizen standing his ground.

I guess the take home message for me is beware of the “celebrity.” The more high profile somebody is, the more their warts and weaknesses are exposed. (It doesn’t matter if it’s RC Sproul or Jordan Peterson). That’s just where I’m at. I’m not trying to guilt or shame anyone for not feeling exactly the same. This should not take anything away from our concern over the Marxist madness that’s running rampant.

The whole common grace, natural law, 2KT, Christian nationalism discussions have helped me see the origin of our plight and that’s unbelief, which has been legitimized via the acceptance of Darwinism, naturalism and evolution as the foundation for the secular sphere and rational thought (and even many churches and denominations in our day). I think that area was a bit of a blind spot even for Machen. Evolution basically is the foundation for all kinds of warped thinking and living including LGBTQ, CRT, feminism, sexual promiscuity and every other warped cultural trend not based in reality, morality, (Christian) fidelity, etc.

If JP is truly one of them (specifically, a pawn acting on their behalf), what George says applies to him too…

“ there’s a reason education sucks, and it’s the same reason that it will never, ever, ever be fixed. It’s never gonna get any better. …Because the owners of this country don't want that. I'm talking about the real owners now, the real owners, the big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions. Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought and paid for the senate, the congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying, lobbying, to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I'll tell you what they don’t want: They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. Thats against their interests.” - George Carlin

"Do I believe in conspiracies? Nah. Do I believe powerful people would get together and plan certain outcomes? Nah. Do I believe powerful interests would operate outside the law, maybe even kill people? Nah. Do I believe that secret government agencies might feel the need to assassinate a person and cover it up. Nah. I think everything in America is open, clean, and above board, and powerful people always play by the rules." - George Carlin

Why is this the case? Because men are evil! The more powerful the man, the less restrained…

I do not need to agree with people like Peterson on everything, in order to agree
with him on others.
Especially, when he says some of the very same things on the issues of our day as many
of the pastors and theologians I follow.

Theologians like Voddie Baucham and Tom Ascol annd Sam Waldron and others who are Reformed Baptists.

Most of whom are Amillennials.
