Peter tried to get in the way of God's will . . . anyone standing against God's will for Jesus would be an adversary of God. Who would want that?

Then why don't you post for us the Lord's last recorded words to Peter and explain, in light of them, how He felt that Peter was his adversary.

God changed the names of many people in the Old Testament and with each one, their role in leading His people changed significantly. The ONLY person's name changed by God in the New Testament was Peter, why would you not believe that this was indicative of a new role.

If you have been following the conversation it was a one time event. But later Peter denied Christ so maybe he messed up again but I never referred to Peter in a perpetual state of being an adversary of God did I?

Peter implied he would get in the way of God's will, Jesus rebuked him just like anyone else. Why is this so complicated?
