1 | Was Peter denied before the Father? | Matt 10:33 | Sir Pent | 15786 | ||
I would agree that Peter's denial of Jesus was not one of belief, but instead one of aquaintance. Peter did not deny that Jesus was the Christ. Instead he denied that Peter was who Peter really was. Peter didn't lie about Jesus, he lied about himself by saying he didn't know Jesus. It was still a lie, and was still sin, and still required repentance and forgiveness. However, I think that this is different from the idea, which Jesus was trying to communicate when He said that those who deny Christ would be denied before the Father in Heaven. Whether or not a Christian could do that or not is another interesting question and is covered in the "Can a Christian disown Christ?" thread. |

Greetings Sir Pent! Yes, I agree! Many times here on the Forum I have seen threads go many directions and not stay 'on the path' of the original question.. :) You are absolutely right, if the topic diverges to a point that we find ourselves answering questions out of the 'scope' of the topic at hand, than it is best that a new thread be created. Bring on all the interesting questions! :) Blessings to you! Nolan |
