Nope.Matthew 26:34
Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
Could Peter have willed himself not to deny Christ three times?
Did Jesus know this, because of Foreknowledge, because he Decreed it; or because he knew what is in Man?Matthew 26:34

How about in John 11 where Lazarus was raised from the dead....did Lazarus have a choice?Matthew 26:34

God certainly IS Providential...The rooster crowing immediately after the third denial with our Lord present..... seems very specific knowledge.
Maybe the Lord Jesus caused the rooster to crow?
I do agree that Peter was predictable. I'm definitely predictable.
Believe it or not.... My wife can foretell my future. She is very good at it.....You know.... like "tomorrow morning, you need to take out the trash".
Jesus wander a fortune teller. He was God, and he knew exactly what would happen.The rooster crowing immediately after the third denial with our Lord present..... seems very specific knowledge.

Trust me on this; if your wife says "How long does it take to put this in the right spot?!" don't answer with "I don't know, I've never done it."Believe it or not.... My wife can foretell my future. She is very good at it.....You know.... like "tomorrow morning, you need to take out the trash".

Yes and no. He couldn't have done differently once Christ prophesied what he would do, since Christ would have foreseen a different set of circumstances if, in fact, Peter didn't deny Christ three times. (If he only denied Christ twice, then Christ would have prophesied that instead). But this means that in a logical sense, Peter's decision to deny Him three times preceded Christ's prophesy. Since his decision preceded Christ's prophecy, then there is no need to suppose that he lacked free will in the matter.Matthew 26:34
