The Bible is true in a very strange way. It's true in that it provides the basis for truth itself. The Bible is not just true

0:41.3

historically and symbolically and morally and spiritually. It's also true prophetically. It's also true

0:46.8

corporately. Truth leads to human flourishing. Hey, everyone, Dr. Josh Axe here and welcome to the Growth Lab.

On today's video, I'm going to be showing you a video from Jordan Peterson where he answers

1:03.8

the question, is the Bible true?

1:07.1

And his answer might surprise you.

1:08.6

So let's watch this video here together. The Bible is true in a very strange way. It's true in that it provides the basis for truth itself.

1:22.9

You know, today we'd be watching a TV show and the narrative there is that love is a

2:02.1

feeling or emotion. But the Bible tells us, no, what real love is, it's a commitment. It is a

2:08.5

decision that you make to love somebody. You don't have to feel it or not. And so the Bible was the

2:13.6

first book that really laid out and told us that. Also, it's what Western civilization is

2:18.3

built upon. One of the things I've heard him say in another video is that the Bible is metatruth.

2:23.6

And so it's also true, not in just one way, it's in multiple ways. Now, I want to talk about truth
