Messiah said three. Each gospel records three denials, albeit with some variations as is found elsewhere in the books.

Jesus did not say it in this way, as three only. Pay attention to the language, and check it out for yourself, taking the Bible translation in one hand and the Greek text in the other, and follow it through. Put the happenings and the locations on a timeline as detectives do, and check the genders of the pronouns when you do it. And you will find out that your position is incorrect. I really was just trolling to get you to step in it, and you did.

You say six, and then compound the error by making a false assertion about me.

I made two assertions, both of them obvious and true. And you 're proving both of them true in this reply. It's OK, if I took them as insults I wouldn't be able to also laugh at your contortions with the Scriptures.

I already have. I considered your personal theory and am not persuaded. Messiah prophesied Peter would deny Him three times, not six times. Each Gospel records the prophecy. Doubling the number denies each individual Gospel account. It seems to me that to denigrate and despise Simon Bar Jonah for sport, trolling as you call it, to get me to step in some web, is uninspired and unprofitable.

To be wise and clever in one's own eyes is a snare.
