    I am guessing to prove even more that 3 is the number of completion for Christianity...

    ...3 is a good number lol. Nah I think it is certainly to do with the Holy Trinity like Coptic Servent sed. Its like Peter denied the Father, Son and holy Spirit.

    3 is also different stages in denying (sinning in general), i think God gave him multiple chances to restore his fault and not deny him the next time, but instead it got worse:

    first time he lied
    second time he lied, and swore
    third time he lied, swore, and cursed

    Most of you guys & gals seem to share the same view as I.

    I believe that the Bible is the most perfect story in evry way (because it is God's). Whilst those non-believers try and attack out faith you must always remember that when you read the good book you will see that God makes things for a reason.

    I believe that the reason God decided that Peter was going to deny Jesus 3 times, its because Peter is actually denying The Father, The Son and The Holly Spirt, and that is why he denied Jesus three time.

    Glad to see that some of yous are thinking the same. Now over to the Why 2 and the Why Barabaus questions.
