Peter was ashamed of Jesus, when He allowed Himself to be taken captive by the Priests & Romans….and because he was ashamed of Him, he distanced himself from Him at the trial, and hung out with those who were reviling Jesus. Had Peter not been ashamed of Jesus, he would have stayed as close to Him as John did, and he would never have denied Jesus.

This is a good lesson for us, as often we are tempted to be ashamed of the TRUTH that makes us different and separates us from the world. This happens in many ways. How many Christian women are afraid to dress modestly? They are tempted to dress like all the rest of the women, and be in style with short skirts, low necklines, tight clothes, etc. How many Christian men, like Peter, use crude, foul language, to make it appear that they are just like everyone else around them? They know better, just like Peter did….but just like Peter, they are ashamed of the TRUTH that calls us as Christians to be separate from the World.

For me, the fact that peter did that, meant no one was expecting the cross to happen, so the covenant theology view that “ ot saints were looking forward to the cross”, was dubious at best.

Do (believers) believe The Bibles creation account or sciences account of God's creation.

97%+ of christianity or at least people who identify as christian believers. Believe in sciences creation descriptions of God's creation and reject or change The Bible descriptive accounts given in The Bible to match sciences lies.

In a way really similar to denying The Messiah over or cause of the pressure of the world.

So you believe Joshua 10 as given in The Bible, that Joshua commanded the sun and moon to stop moving over the earth and they did stand still.

In other words you believe that the sun moon and stars are lights created by God that move over the earth. To give light up on the earth.
