2 Timothy 4

1 I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of His appearing and His kingdom:

2. Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction.

3 For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires.

4 So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

I wasn't pointing to rogue or anybody else who believes in evolution at all. I was referring to you, who will listen to somebody who preaches what YOU want to hear. You like a certain person because they tell you what you want, not the truth of the gospel. Evolution is a very minor point compared to the whole thrust of the gospel, which is salvation through Jesus Christ and no other.

Nice try for a dodge, though.

I don't understand the point given that Peterson is not a Christian. I believe he claims to be a cultural Christian but he does not acknowledge that Jesus raised from the dead, claiming agnosticism on the issue.

[thewriteranon]

Does he even claim to be a cultural Christian? I thought he just saw Christianity as a net good with all around good values but he himself is an agnostic, maybe a deist.

[mossrose]

As scripture says, they will seek words that suit what they want to hear.

I think he said he lives as if the Bible is true or something to that effect.

What in particular did you find difficult to hear?

I think you should be more mystified why a person such as that would exist in the first place, psychologically speaking.

[mossrose]

On what topic. I have many sermons that are good, imo, but I don't know which one you could compare with Peterson, especially if he isn't a believer in the first place.

[thewriteranon]

Peterson isn't a Christian, but he's a pretty good speaker and he has a lot of good advice for young men. As mentioned before, even though he's agnostic himself, he believes that the morality advocated in the Bible is ideal, so he has a lot of advice that steers young men onto that sort of value track.

That's a separate issue altogether though I agree it makes little sense.
