If God's prophetic declaration is likewise a soft fact, then the conditional 'if Peter had freely denied, God would have prophesied' is equally valid as its converse, rendering the original claim's directionality arbitrary.

Converse(referring to some claim being discussed): The flipped version of a statement; if the original says 'A implies B,' the converse says 'B implies A.'
Prophetic declaration(in this case, God's prediction about Peter's actions): A statement made by a prophet (someone believed to speak for God) predicting or announcing something that will happen in the future.
arbitrary(Debate over Locke's watch passage and natural kind classification): Does not mean 'random' or that all qualities are equally adequate as differentia; refers instead to the availability of multiple similarly good and natural grounds for classification.
conditional(no-truth-value account of conditionals): A statement of the form 'if A, B' that involves the supposition that A and tells us nothing about what happens if A is false
