Southstar...I meant that peter deceived jesus's trust in him in a metaphorically way. Like saying that if you deny knowing a very good friend of yours because it would get you into trouble by saying that you did know this person then you are basically being a coward by not admiting your friendship with this person. If this friend of yours found out later that you pretended not to know him just to save your butt then his/her trust in your friendship would be slightly tarnished. But jesus knew what peter was going to do so it didn't come as no surprise to him so I guess no hurt feelings.
Yes I think we are at an impasse (again) p.m. thorne. I still can't grasp your definition of free will being dependant on "limited choices and inherent qualities". All you need for free will is just two choices to choose from so limitations in choices isn't that important. And inherent qualities (that we are born with) makes free will that much harder if we tend to lean in a particular direction because of our inherent qualities. For free will to be fair we should be completely neutral...with no internal biases.
Anyway, I will miss you being a "thorne" in my side.
