    Interesting article. I'd say Jesus told Peter he would deny him knowing that he wouldn't bother to listen to him and thereby change the course he was on. That is why he made it an unconditional prophecy and one can tell how shocked Peter was when he later discovered that it had come to pass.

    Because He's not a puppet master as some people suggest?

    Same reason He doesn't stop me from sinning.

    This may help answer your question VW.

    All Christians struggle with continuing sin in their lives, and many wonder why. If God answers prayers that are according to His will, and if God’s will is that we do not sin, why doesn’t God grant our request to be free of the struggle with sin? In this lecture, Dr. R.C. Sproul Jr. responds to this question in light of redemptive history and the Bible’s teaching on prayer and sanctification.

    I think Peter learned from his mistake. After Jesus's death and resurrection, he proceeded to become a bold leader of the early church who did not refrain from defying the Sanhedrin. So perhaps the intent in allowing Peter to make the mistake was to enable him to learn from it.

    Since I already asked AND answered the question from SCRIPTURE then I don't need any help, at least not from RC Sproul and his distorted views of God's character.

    According to Scripture just about all prophecy is conditional:

    Jeremiah 18:7-10
    7 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; 8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them. 9 And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it; 10 If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.

    Isaiah gave Hezekiah an unconditional prophecy that he would die. Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed. God changed his mind and added 15 years to Hezekiah's life. No reason not to view the prophesy that Jesus gave to Peter in the same light. On the contrary, The Scripture I provide in my blog proves that such is the case.

    Not really. In Galatians Paul says that he had to rebuke Peter for that same cowardly compromise in a different instance.

    The Messianic prophecies are not conditional.
