Quote:
Now, what you have done here, Gideon, is exactly what so many Christians have done over the centuries. They knew just enough of the NT to get themselves into trouble. You are rejecting the NT because of your misunderstandings. They did atrocities because of their misunderstandings. Either way, the NT is blamed for what it does not say, or for what is taken completely out of context. If you want to reject the NT that is your prerogative. But don't reject it for what it does not say, please.

The issue of the number of Peter's denials has been brought up by many as an error in the NT. It was an issue I struggled with as a young believer. However, I didn't throw out the NT because of that seeming contradiction because I had too much at stake. It would have torn me up to walk away from the hope that the NT had given me. So, instead I agonized over it.

If the above quote is indicative of the results of reading the GT, how can the highlighted words, all expressions of confusion, distress, error and suffering, be reconciled (by a Christian) with this GT verse:
ICor 14:33:
"G-d is not the author of confusion, but of peace...."?
