Fabricated "Scripture" 229

... 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. 99
(HOLY BIBLE) John 20:27

Thomas realises the heel he has been. He had signally rejected every
proof that Jesus was ALIVE! Every other disciple, beside Judas
Iscariot the traitor, had testified that they had seen Jesus and felt
him and eaten food with him, but Thomas WOULD NOT BELIEVE!.
What would he not believe? That the living, pulsating Jesus was
making his rounds — Not a ghost of Jesus. Now, being confronted
with the PHYSICAL reality of his presence, demonstrating his
physical, material body, he was forced to exclaim,
“My Lord and my GodV* (HOLY BIBLE) John 20:28


WHAT DID THOMAS REALISE?
Did Thomas realise at that juncture that Jesus Christ was his
Jehovah? Did he and other disciples fall down in prostration before
him. Never! His words were the words of self-reproach. We utter
them daily, “My God! What a fool I have been!” Are you addressing
your listener, as your God? 1
