Doubting Thomas
John Ray has a discussion at his scripture blog about what Thomas said when confronted with the sight of a risen Jesus.
As discussed here before one must be careful about what is in the NT. This passage is certainly one that makes the family of Jesus look defective in their knowledge and certainly foolish. It has all the earmarks of having been massaged by Paul, or his scribe, Luke, in order to promote his version of gentile Christianity. One must remember that Paul was a member of Herod's family and a Roman citizen. He had a vested interest in destroying Jewish Christianity and promoting himself to his masters.
Once again I refer those that doubt this to go and read this book before commenting. You may find yourself with a new perspective on the Gospels.
