That disciple's name was: "Thomas"; hence the phrase: 'Doubting Thomas'!
AnswerThere are many reasons people could fail to believe that Jesus was sent to save us from our sins: They may, for example, be Hindus, and believe that Brahma did not send Jesus. Therefore, to a Hindu, Jesus was merely a man.They may be Jews, who believe in God, but do not believe that Jesus was sent by their God.They may be Muslims, who believe in the same God, but do not believe that Jesus was sent by God to save us from our sins. They believe that Jesus was merely a prophet.They may not believe in God. If God does not exist, he could not have sent Jesus.
Christian scholars believe Jesus was born in Bethlehem.
No, not nesessarily. I could be wrong but I think some Jewish people believe in God but not Jesus. Athiests say there is no God.
Jewish people believe that Jesus Christ wasn't the real Messiah and they are still waiting for the Messiah. They believe that Jesus was a fake Messiah. They could believe that Jesus didn't raise up or won't be raised up because he "sinned" a lot by faking but they do believe that only God knows who will go to heaven and who will go to Hell.
I'm sure people could believe in some teachings, not all, of both at the same time.
Yes, it was! Jesus gave up his life so we could live, if he didn't die on the cross I guess we wouldn't live. People who do believe in Jesus do have a prayer that talks about this situation why don't you read it? What do you believe?
This is an oxymoron. Jesus made it very clear that He is God the Son and came from God the Father. This teaching is foundational to who He is. It therefore is a contradictory of terms to have someone who follows Jesus' teaching but doesn't believe in God
Definitely!! It's the account of the creation of the world. If we didn't believe in that then how could we believe the rest of the bible and what Jesus said and did?
I believe scripture says that Thomas, along with some of the other disciples, went back to fishing after Jesus' death. Thomas is most noted for his reaction to the resurrection of Christ. When Jesus first appeared to His disciples after His resurrection, Thomas was not there. Upon being told of the story, Thomas declared that he would not believe unless he could put his hand in the wounds in Jesus' hands and side. Jesus reappeared to His disciples and this time Thomas was there. Jesus told Thomas to go ahead and touch His hands and His side, and to believe. When Thomas saw Christ he bowed down to worship Him as Lord and God. What a great story. Even more, Jesus declared that those of us who believe without seeing are truly blessed.
Thomas initially could not believe Jesus was present with them after crucifixion. His doubts quickly disappeared when Jesus spoke to him and invited Thomas to touch His wounds.
It wasn't that Jesus could not perform miracles in Nazareth it was because of the people disbelief. The people of Nazareth knew Jesus as He had grown up in that little town. They remembered Him as the Son of Mary and (supposed Son of Joseph), the carpenter. They could not believe He was the Messiah. Miracles belonged among those who were ready to believe.
You could belong to pretty much any religion other than Christianity or you may be an atheist. Being an atheist does not simply mean you do not believe in the God of the bible; it means you do not believe in any god or gods.
