Hello Joe,

Lots of ways to look at that:

Peter asked for forgiveness and everything was ok. But there are those
in here that won't forgive stuff that is 20 years old. Much less 3
hours.

Then again, does three hours and then forgiveness mean that Peter was
any less a coward? Was Peter just a forgiven coward like the forgiven
sinners?

Peter swore that he would never deny Jesus. Could Peter be trusted to
not deny again? Can humans be trusted? Peter was a human, wasn't he?
Can we trust each other? We are humans, aren't we?

Assuming that Peter denied again. How many times should Peter be
forgiven? Should we forgive each other as many times for the wrongs we
do as well??

What is "sin"?

Who in this echo has sinned?

Because someone else sinned, does that make it ok for all to sin?

If we are all forgiven our sins in this echo, does that mean that we
are free to sin again?

If we all forgive each other of our sins in this echo, are we free to
sin again??

Interesting, yes/no?

Regards,
Frank
