Seek the LORD while He may be found.

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:thencame Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peacebeunto you.
Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrustit 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: blessedare they that have not seen, andyethave 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.

So when Thomas saw Jesus, before placing his fingers inside, Thomas still didn't believe Jesus had risen from the dead?
You just can't get your tiny head around it.
As soon as Thomas saw Jesus he knew he had risen from the dead.
What fascinated Thomas that Jesus knew Thomas had said 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.

My Lord and My God, you not only have risen from the dead but you knew exactly what I said that I would want to do to believe you Jesus had risen.

Again, you wotsup, with no clue wotsoever, with eyes that have been blinded and heart that is hardened, 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 after Jesus had performed so many signs in their presence, wotsup still would not believe in him. ³⁸This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet:
“Lord, who has believed our message
and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”^[h]
³⁹For this reason wotsup could not believe, because, as Isaiah says elsewhere:
⁴⁰“He has blinded wotsup's eyes
and hardened wotsup's heart,
so wotsup can neither see with his eyes,
nor understand with his heart,
nor turn—and I would heal him”^[i]

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.

You are just too simple, wotsup. You dininish everything into being a simpleton. You can't put yourself in the position of Thomas in that remarkable event.
He farken put his fingers inside Jesus you clown. He was astonished at seeing Jesus let alone hear Jesus say exactly word for word what he said.
You have nfi what a blessing is and how Thomas was blessed from the foundation of the world you clown.

Because they show you have no clue wotsoever, wotsup and it flows through to all that you post.
