Thomas wasn't a doubter. He asked for the same proof the other disciples received. Explore John 20 in its Jewish context and what it reveals about honest faith.
I appreciate your perspective, and this article. I had also previously looked at Thomas' words of going to die with Jesus not as despair but incredible loyalty. I still think about his insistence that the glorified body of Jesus would still have scars, and what that implies about his faith and the nature of bodily resurrection.
This is absolutely beautiful and I lost count how many times I has chill bumps because of the beautiful heart of Thomas and the incredibly gentle and lovingly & understanding heart of Yeshua. This is all things I never knew or noticed and I appreciate this so very much. This has touched me deeply forever!!!
Thank you so much Abby! I’m glad!!

Oh that makes my heart so happy! Thank you!!
I bet Thomas appreciated this post!! I appreciate it too! Poor Thomas sure got a bad reputation for being honest!!
Right? LOL
There are so many mistranslations in the NT. It makes me wonder then why a Jewish scholar is not involved.
Thank you!!! I am so happy you liked it!!
