Hi all; I have always been fascinated by this account of the the final hours of Jesus leading upto his arrest and the crucifixion. In particular the Question of how much a role destiny, fate, & freewill plays out in this part the biblical account of Jesus, and especially how much choice/freewill did Judas and Peter actually have.
Were they totally at liberties to take or not take certain actions; Or were they seemingly locked on an unalterable course - call it human fate/destiny, that they were born to do, and being the case, contribute to the crucifixion story.
Finally; if Peter/Judas were fated/destined to play the roles they played in the crucifixion, what does that say about the freewill of men especially when considering that an infallable JESUS himself had - in two of the examples given - said that certain events/ action, involving Judas/Peter would take place?
Below taken from St Matthew; the King James Bible edition are 2 examples where Jesus Prophecies the actions of Peter and Judas before his arrest. The third example is a biblical confirmation of the 2nd prophesy example given.
Matthew C26:V21
Matthew C26:V33 - 35
Matthew C26: V75
Any Opinions, thoughts , or views of human freewill, fate/destiny welcome.
