What is the story of the 'denial of Peter'?
Peter felt from his heart that he would ALWAYS support Jesus, and would NEVER turn away, but Jesus prophesied that Peter would, infact, deny knowing him when things got tough, and this is exactly what happened. Because of 'fear of man', Peter DID disavow any knowledge of Jesus, and then, was SO sorry for his actions, that he wept bitterly(Matthew 26:31-35, 69-75) . Later, as Jesus had instructed, Peter soon returned with renewed faith, to 'strengthen his brothers'.(Luke 22:32)

What do the 2 scriptures Matthew 24-13 and 2 peter 2-22 have to do with one another?
They have absolutely nothing to do with one another.AnswerOne has to look at the context of these verses. In Matthew 24 the verse comes in Jesus' warnings about staying with the faith. Because there will be persecution and betrayal for the followers of Jesus, he states that many will turn away from the faith and betray each other, but "the one who stands firm to the end will be saved" [verse 13] In Peter's second letter, again looking at the verse in context, the comparison is made between those who stand firm in belief, those who have never believed, and those who were saved but willingly go back to their old ways: "If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning."Verse 22 refers to the Proverbs where a dog returns to his vomit.Therefore the connection between the two scriptures are Jesus (and Peter) warning that becauseoof persecution many will turn away from Jesus and these people who turn away are like dogs that go back to their vomit -people who go back to their evil ways. These people are worse than those who have never followed Jesus. This is because those who have never followed Jesus have not experienced the Christian life, and cannot be held to account for something they have never experienced. However, those who followed him and then moved away from him, despite once experiencing God's salvation, deliberately rejected Jesus, and must, therefore be far worse off than before.

Were the Hatfields and McCoys bad Christians?
Christians follow Jesus, Jesus said turn the other cheek, He told Peter "put away your sword." So true Christians don't go around fighting with guns because that's not what Jesus wanted. Being a Christian is about following Jesus. To the extent that one acts contrary to Jesus teachings one is not a true Christian.
