| 0:29.6 | 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. |
| 0:57.8 | 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 | And so it's like a meta-truth. Without it, there couldn't even be the possibility of truth. |

| 1:51.6 | the Bible defines things for us that were never defined before. For instance, what is love? |
| 1:57.5 | 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 |
