1 | Was Peter denied before the Father? | Matt 10:33 | Searcher56 | 15604 | ||
Was Peter's denial (26:69-75) an expection to this? Explain. | ||||||
2 | Was Peter denied before the Father? | Matt 10:33 | Makarios | 15625 | ||
I believe that Matthew 10:33 is describing a 'soul condemning' denial of Christ, not the kind of temporary wavering that Peter was guilty of (Matthew 26:69-75). But this is describing the sin of those who through fear, shame, neglect, delay, or love of the world reject all evidence and revelation and decline to confess Christ as Savior and King, until it is too late.

3 | Was Peter denied before the Father? | Matt 10:33 | There | 15687 | ||
Well said Nolan. The word "confess" in the previous verse means to "covenant" or "acknowledge"... hence: "Covenant" means a binding agreement, and "Acknowledge" means: 1.to admit to be true, 2.to recognize the authority or claims of, 3.to recognize and answer (a greeting or introduction, 4.to express thanks for, 5.to state that one has received (gift etc) Those things are all incorporated in the word "confess". And the opposite of confess would be "deny", meaning to "reject" or "contradict" those things (Greek "arneomai" - deny). But Jesus used a different word with a slightly different meaning when stating that "Peter would deny me thrice". That word is "aparneomai" with more of the meaning to "disown". |
