<BR> Yes, Peter, I would like to remind you that just a few hours earlier Jesus had specifically admonished you all to make sure you didn't go getting yourselves killed over this crucifixion business. He expressly stated he needed you to live and spread the gospel. So I cannot help but note that, while you do inspire many of us who have at one time or another denied knowing Jesus or have not lived up to our faith, your denial may also have been, in part, a conspiracy to keep you alive! As you said, your adjutant mind spirit of self-preservation was active. I have seen your actions that night as tragic, not shameful. You (and much of the universe) were horrified by what was happening. I don't know how any of us would have dealt with the horror of those hours.
<BR> I am so glad to be able to enjoy your messages in "modern day phraseology". Please come again so we can get to know you better. Perhaps we can benefit from your experienced counsel in our current apostolic efforts.
<BR> Your fellow,
<BR> Apostle Gerdean</FONT></HTML>
