I lumped all of your ridiculous responses together because they're just angry repetitions. First of all - you NEVER proved that Thomas was a Scripture scholar as you indicated in your previous post. YOU stated that Thomas studied the Scriptures while the others did NOT. Where is the Scriptural...

NOWHERE does the Bible tell us that the mother of Jesus was at His burial. My point was that even IF she was there - this doesn't indicated a "lack of faith" as @FHII falsely charged.

Once again - you missed every single point. First of all - comparing Peter and Thomas is apples and oranges because Peter didn't refuse to believe. Thomas DID. Tey BOTH screwed up and they BOTH made amends - but for different things. As for Mary, mother of Jesus - your charge that Jesus...

Utter nonsense. Where does the Bible tell us that Mary, mother of Jesus was one of the 3 women who buried Jesus?? Even if she was there - they didn't prepare His body for long-term burial. That's what the women went to do on Easter morning. There was no "lack of faith" here. This entire...

Your constant denial that Jesus didn't rebuke Thomas for his unbelief simply shows that you don't understand the word of God. His rebuke of Thomas couldn't be any clearer . . .

Where are you getting this rubbish?? Show me where the Bible says that Thomas searched the Scriptures while the others did NOT. Chapter and Verse. Where does the Bible say that he was a Scripture scholar and the others were ignorant?

First of all - why are you comparing Peter and Mary with Thomas?? Apples and oranges. Peter simply denied that he knew him. He didn't state that he refused to believe unless he stuck his fingers in his nail holes. Peter was a coward - not an obstinate doubter. As for Mary - Jesus NEVER rebukes...

Once again - NONE of them believed until they saw Jesus risen. Thomas, however, raised the ante when he made his statement that he wouldn't believe until he actually placed his fingers in the nail holes and hand in His side. NONE of the others were this obstinate - and that's why they weren't...

As for Thomas - I agree that he was a hero of the faith - eventually - but NOT in this case. As you stated, he was martyred like the others which makes him faithful to the end. However, as I explained in my last post - Jesus rebuked Thomas for not having the faith to believe as those who DO...

Sooooo, if you have 10 people who ponder this question and "pray for wisdom" - and ALL 10 of them come to different conclusions - WHO is right? Christ left His Church to make final judgments on matters such as this - not individuals (Matt. 16:18-19, 18:15-18, Luke 10:16, John 16:12-15, John...

This is absolutely false. Jesus rebukes Thomas for his unbelief and that he had to be SHOWN the wounds of Christ in order to believe. He then makes a comparison by blessing those who believe WITHOUT having to see him. What sets Thomas apart from the others is NOT the fact that they also saw...

WRONG. There is NO thought or action that is "unpardonable" other than refusal of the Holy Spirit (final impenitence). That is what Jesus was talking about when He rebuked the pharisees in Matt. 12:32. As long as we have breath in us - we can repent of ANY sin.

Although I don't fully agree with your assessment - I kinda get your point. However - I DO have an issue with your claim in RED because I don't see anything in Scripture OR Tradition that indicates Mary as ever "doubting" her Son. Can you point me to the verse?

Time for a recap: Let's see - I destroyed your nonsense about Catholics and “Dagon worship” in post #32. I proved to you that the Christian “fish” symbol (ICHTHUS) had nothing to do with paganism. In post #67, I obliterated your manure about the Catholics Church’s “pagan” symbolisms regarding...

Good - then we're in agreement.

Once again - your are trying to hijack this thread. If you want to start a thread about your anti-Catholic hatred - then create a thread and I'll destroy your arguments there. THIS thread is about Thomas and his doubting of Christ.

Every reputable Protestant theologian would agree with me. And every reputable Protestant Theologian I've ever heard on the subject disagrees with YOUR flawed assessment. You are adding to Scripture what is not there - and therein lies your complete confusion . . .

You are ADDING to Scripture things about Thomas that simply aren't there by attempting to put a philosophical twist on the story. Thomas DID doubt - and Jesus held him accountable for it. He rebuked him and told him that he had to SEE Him to believe - and blessed those who believe WITHOUT...

Ian Paisley's idiotic arguments about the Eucharist aside - what does this have to do with Thomas's remarks from John 20:25 or an Inquisition?? Stay on topic . . .

And Jesus chided Thomas for having to see with his eye - while praising those who believe without seeing. No - we shouldn't be like Thomas because he showed a lack of faith.. Faith doesn't and shouldn't come only from from seeing . . .
