Is Peter a bad role model for Christians?

Advantages

He denied knowing Jesus 3 times, even after promising he wouldn't
He fell asleep twice when Jesus went to pray in Gethsemane, when Jesus needed him and the other disciples
At the Caesara philippi, he tried to tempt Jesus off God's path, just like the devil
He is Jesus' closest disciple and should have known better

Disadvantages

He died as a martyr
Jesus said he is 'the rock on which his church will be built on'. which shows h has Jesus' trust
He is human and all humans make mistakes
he regretted what he had done straight after and weeped and then went on to spread Jesus' words

Evaluation

I don't think Peter is a bad role model because he is human who makes mistakes. He died a martyr and regretted his mistakes straight after. Christians can also learn by his mistakes and lead a good life.
