Subject: Bible ... be “a doubting Thomas."? |
Bible Note: Generally, we should always strive to obey ALL of God's commands, including those by clear direction as in James 5 or by examples throughout the NT, whenever it's within our power to do so. I praise God that He saw fit to include this story about Thomas' doubt for it means Christ really was ressurected in bodily form. So once again, the Bible really does deliver what God's Word should and that is solid reasons to believe in God and His Desire to have us come join Him in Heaven is real. Now the tough part for us here on earth is to figure out what's NOT real. I would have to definitely include those deceptive acts called miracles by those doing the deceiving when those miracles DON'T meet the high standards as set forth in God's Word. But this kind of determination is a rather personal one but we can encourage one another to stay true to His Word and use It as the standard for measuring such activities as we're directed in 1 John 4.
