Seek the LORD while He may be found.

Believe what -> that he rose from the dead DRRRRRR

The subject matter is Thomas recognising the trinity aspect of Jesus by saying My Lord and My God.
Thomas didnt say it when he saw Jesus risen. Thomas felt the force of God when his fingers when inside Jesus. That's when Thomas said My Lord and My God.
You really need to learn how to read properly You are such a dummy!

²⁶A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said,“Peacebe with you!”²⁷Then he said to Thomas,“Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”
²⁸Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

But wotsup has no clue wotsoever because his eyes have been blinded and his heart hardened so he can't see, like Thomas, that Jesus being the arm of the Lord is God. My Lord snd My God.

Belief and Unbelief Among the Jews and wotsup
³⁷Even afterJesushad performed so many signsin their presence,wotsupstill would not believe in him.³⁸This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet:
“Lord, who has believed our message
and to whom hasthe arm of the Lordbeen revealed?”^[h]
³⁹For this reasonwotsupcould not believe, because, as Isaiah says elsewhere:
⁴⁰“He has blindedwotsup'seyes
and hardenedwotsup'sheart,
sowotsupcan neither see with his eyes,
nor understand with his heart,
nor turn—and I would heal him”^[i]

I expect your impulsive compulsive order to regurgitate more of your vomit.

Get WITH the ENTIRE theme of the Thomas matter = Believing or not if Jesus rose from the dead, no more and not less.

The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.- that he rose from the dead
And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.- that I rose from the dead.
And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

The only reference, acknowledgement of Jesus to Thomas is, that Thomas now believed Jesus rose from the dead and blessing for those that believe this, without having the benefits as Thomas had, by seeing him.

The words my God, is simply Thomas referring to His God dwelling in Jesus, BECAUSE Jesus had told him so twice, pre the cross John 14:10

NO way is Jesus linking the blessings to the words - my Lord and my God.

As I said -> You cannot refute the above with the Bible, and maintain the Bible Truth = Simples.
The above is my other post, stick TO IT and exactly it, and counter it with the Bible, THAT direct subject and it's CLEAR support that I gave it.

NOT interested in your nonsense lollypops, which have Zero to do with the subject at hand.
