→re: Peter
:::Your comments are interesting, but the fact remains that Peter's [[faith]] was at the highest level. He was the first to recognize Jesus as Christ and did so unequivocably. Peter was the only to walk on water. Peter's denial to avoid getting caught was not due to any weakness in faith; his weeping afterward was testimony to how strong his faith was.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 22:02, 4 July 2013 (EDT)

::::Peter's exhibition of bravery during the Passion is often overlooked. When an entire Roman cohort came to arrest Jesus, Peter actually attacked the slave of the high priest who was accompanying them. Now keep in mind that according to wikipedia (I know, not the most reliable source but I don't have time to check anything better) a Roman cohort typically consisted of about 500 soldiers. Peter's willingness to fight for his Lord in such unfavorable odds is nothing short of remarkable. He was both willing to kill and die for Christ.
::::When you take this act into account, his actions at the temple are to be seen in a completely different light. Surely he was endangering himself by coming into that place, facing the possibility of being apprehended by the Jewish authorities for what he had done to the high priest's slave. With all these facts taken into account, we can clearly see that Peter was the first in faith, even when we acknowledge his denial of Christ. - [[User:Markman|Markman]] 23:12, 4 July 2013 (EDT)
