Debate: Does God exist?
Side: Theism

The Bible is historical and preknown events, with scriptures detailing information to us that we need to know in order to successfully follow a path to God. And to be children of God, and to eventually live eternity with Him in a New Heaven and a New Earth as this one will eventually be destroyed.This is a conversation Jesus had before His betrayal.We see Jesus knowing 1 will betray and knowing the 1 who betrays will condemn himself by his own conscience!9 I ask on their behalf; I do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom You have given Me; for they are Yours; 10 and all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them. 11 I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are. 12 While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name which You have given Me; and I guarded them and not one of them perished but the son of perdition, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.The Disciples in the World13 But now I come to You; and these things I speak in the world so that they may have My joy made full in themselves. Jesus also prophesied they will strike the Shephard and the sheep will be scattered. That's exactly what happened. It was a commotion. Like us, even though Jesus was right in front of them telling them the order of events, the itinerary, they still were caught off guard. Peter cut off an ear of the soldier, the followers were going nuts, then they fell back feeling their lives also would be taken. They were scared! Yet most of them later faced severe situations of imprisonment, being fed to lions, lost their heads, stoned, murdered! Peter was the only one that I know of that was also crucified. And Jesus pre-telling told to Peter this would be his way of following Him in death. In John 21 - Its interesting also Jesus makes Peter answer 3 times of his devotion. So we see Jesus saying He will betray 3 times, and also profess his devotion 3 times. Jesus knowing that when Peter is strengthened he will tend sheep like Jesus did, and will follow Him in death.John 21:Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.” He said to him, “Tend My lambs.” 16 He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.” He said to him, “Shepherd My sheep.” 17 He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you love Me?” And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.” Jesus said to him, “Tend My sheep.18 Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to gird yourself and walk wherever you wished; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will gird you, and bring you where you do not wish to go.” 19 Now this He said, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, “Follow Me!”So not only did Jesus pre-tell both Judas' and Peter's betrayals to accuracy, He also decided to pre-tell both of their ends! He didnt tell everyone their end. But these 2 were purposeful prophesy as a comparison. He told of Judas' betrayal with a kiss, and then Judas' remorse leading to his condemnation of conscience, and then to his death.He wasn't martyred in love and devotion. He lost his life in his own self condemnation. A few things here - you seem to know scriptures a bit, so I won't look email all up, feel free to look up at Biblehub.com "They honor Me with their lips, BUT their hearts are far from me."Then Peter, Jesus asks 3 times for a declaration of love, and comforts Peter, as if to make sure Peter's conscience endures what is to come, so the guilt of portrayal wasn't Peter's final story.And how humbling to say such big talk, only to be made a fool of within yourself. We all have that thing where we hold our heads and say how could I ... well this was one of Peter's times. Big talker to failure, to being empowered by God's Spirit and then follow to the point of being crucified also!So where is this contradiction, or inconsistency?
