Bible Question: Was Peter's denial (26:69-75) an expection to this? Explain. |
Bible Answer: 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.
