Why I Like Thomas The Disciple by YourGFsnatcher: 7:44pm On Dec 23, 2023
Thomas is often seen as a symbol of lack of faith by most Christians.

However, I find Thomas to be the realest disciple. He's not fake.

Imagine as we are comfortable with Christianity, someone from Okene that we know will Come and tell us He's the son of God. The disciples didn't receive any revelation concerning this. How are they supposed to just blindly accept everything Jesus says?

Thomas was a wise man, he wanted to be sure of everything, he has seen things and his experiences has thought him to test situations and he never faked following Jesus blindly.

I didn't just become a Christian because I was born in a Christain family or where almost everyone in the community is a Christain. I became a Christian because I tested it myself and I liked it, I believed it after testing it. I tried other religions too, even atheism, but I like Christianity best..

That's why I like Thomas, he's very real

Only if Thomas, was a real person. The whole story was a Roman empire invention, that's why the Jews cannot be deceived. It's like saying Jesus was a yoruba man born of a yoruba virgin during the European occupation and the yorubas are saying his is not our Messiah in the Old Testament but the Europeans during the occupation are saying his is the messiah of the yorubas! cheesy

The records the Jews have is that a Roman soldier was the father of your Jesus christ!

But you won't need to believe it again after testing, now you will KNOW.
You only believe what you lack knowledge, on, but now that you've tested and known it, belief is not needed.

And what did you test in Atheism?

You are right.
I kept all the Gnostic beliefs aside and see if it's worth it or just a sham

FAITH is the assured expectation of things we hoped for the evident demonstration of reality though not seen! Hebrews 11:1

When people say the Bible is full of myth they surely has a point.
WHY?
Because most of the events and miracles recorded can't be experimented so they feel since there's no way to test and see what they read in the Bible it's not real.
Then some embraced evolution and they are working at it with all seriousness to assure themselves that it's worth BELIEVING than the Bible but what they failed to realize is that both the Bible and evolution needs the same thing: a measure of faith
Because unlike the Bible that was written by people we don't know in person evolution is just the ideas of people who wants to create something to negate what they found difficult to BELIEVE in the Bible yet they were never present to see how evolution occurred so they just have to TRUST their concept the same way the believer trust the Bible.

Now this is what gives the Bible believer an edge: what we found in the Bible about the future times are happening accurately as foretold while the evolutionist only talks about the past that he never witnessed! wink

Faith is a 'substance' or hypostasis of something that is now seen outwardly. Faith is not belief; faith is a 'substance' that permates your heart and mind.

Contrary to the lies of Christianity which seem intended to keep adherents from curiously examining information and details presented to them of whom it is they really serve, Thomas is rather a clear example of how God rewards those who seek to know His Truth even if it means questioning God Himself. Thomas questioned Jesus Christ and He was rewarded for his curiosity. undecided

2. Thomas tested God and was rewarded by God for his courage and obedience of God's very command. You tested the religion of Christianity and then convinced yourself it was of benefit to you. Exactly how do you or what you did compare to what Thomas is written to have done? undecided
