At one time in his life Peterson claimed he was atheist, and at other times has said that what he means by God and by Jesus is not the same as what a typical Christian means by those same terms.

One reviewer has noted that Peterson starts off as a materialist, and others have referred to him as a "hopeful agnostic". The question I have is this "does Jordan Peterson know what Christians mean by God and by Gospel?

Col 1 says Jesus is the creator of all - so also does John 1 make that case and so also does Gen 1-2 tell us that God created creation... creation did not create God nor did man himself just invent god as a sort of psychosis on the part of humans.

God is the ultimate reality that then generates creation and man. God is fully interacting with man, but would not cease to exist if there were suddenly no humans.

God is the one educating and teaching in Job 1 and 2 when that heavenly council meets.

God is the ultimate reality and yet is infinite, from eternity past and will always be.

One God Deut 6:4 in three persons Matt 28:19

John 3:16 it is God that initiates the saving of mankind - we did not come up with the Gospel. God did and then He taught us about it.

Instead of God emanating from man's imagination -- reality emanates from God who is before all, behind all , above all.

The wages of sin is death - Rom 6. In fact it is the "second death" of Rev 20 -- in the lake of fire.

fallen humans - resurrected in the second resurrection in Rev 20 are judged and then cast into the "second death" lake of fire. What other gospel writers call fiery hell.

But Jesus saves all from that fiery end - if they accept His Gospel plan of salvation.

Jordan Peterson is growing toward Christianity slowly but surely, since his wife's
conversion to Catholicism after her healing from cancer.

His series Exodus, was excellent!

His assessment of the crucifixion was the best I've heard.

Why speculate? He's never claimed to be a Christian.

Peterson's ideas about God are compatible with some forms of Christianity, but ultimately it comes down to what people actually believe. And belief is more than just having a set of ideas that seem to have utility in ones life, it involves personal commitment. And that's where it seems to end for Peterson.
