The visit went VERY well, considering, dear 'Mom (peace, luv!); very emotional for my dear cousin, understandably. It was really good to see everyone again (and I LOVE NYC/Brooklyn - it always feels like "home" when I'm there!), but glad to be home now as I've clocked quite a few air miles over the past year. For now, I just intend to chill a bit, although I have to focus on a little contract I'm working - LOLOLOL!

Peace!

YSSFS of Christ,

Shellamar


Glad your back! Yes, you have traveled a lot this year, Ya passed me up in miles sis.LOL!!!

I cannot imagine how emotional it must have been for all of you, but I am glad you were able to be there for them, to comfort them the best that can be.

Love ya

Dear ANOMOS, peace to you, and I MEANT to write:

"he couldn't have SAID it... because his belief that it WAS necessary, had that truly been his belief... WOULDN'T have LET him say otherwise, as he DID say."

My apologies for the misstatement.

Peace!

Your servant and a slave of Christ,

Shellamar, winking at dear 'Mom (peace, luv!)...

Otherwise, he (Peter) said what he did INTENTIONALLY... meaning to thwart Christ's intentions (and God's will).

My understanding is that that is not the case, however, but that out of LOVE Peter didn't want our dear Lord to suffer... in any way. Certainly not in the way our dear Lord was saying he was GOING to suffer. So, he (Peter) would have first had to convince HIMSELF that it wasn't necessary... and only self-deception would allow that, ... before he could even TRY to say what he did to our dear Lord. Right? Else, he couldn't have SAID it... because his belief that it WAS necessary, had that truly been his belief... would have LET him say otherwise, as he DID say.



Yes, my understanding is the same. I mean, Peter is the one who said 'to whom else will we go', even when a teaching was hard.

Peace,
tammy


Exactly, and this has always been my understanding too. It's the kind of thing that makes Peter so very human, so very easy to identify with. His faith in Jesus isn't in doubt, and he sees who Jesus is, but always it's his humanness that lies behind his mistakes. And through them, Christ is able to teach us.
