That was Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus. Otherwise he was known as "Doubting Thomas," and "Saint Thomas." Upon seeing the resurrected Jesus, he said, "My Lord and my God." (John 20:24-29)
The apostle Thomas said this to Jesus after he was resurrected. (John 20:28) It was a statement of astonishment that Jesus was indeed alive again. Thomas had doubted the reports of others that they had seen Jesus resurrected and said that unless he sees it with his own eyes and actually touches the wounds Jesus received from the nails and the spear he wasn't going to believe it. So you can imagine his reaction when Jesus appeared before him and actually materialized himself so that Thomas could indeed touch the wounds.
Saint Thomas was preaching in India when JESUS CHRIST has appeared to His disciples to prove to them that He Has arisen from the death...When Saint Thomas returned from preaching in India,the rest of the disciples told Him that JESUS Has arisen from the death...he didn't believe except when JESUS appeared again and Saint Thomas touched His wounds...
He will take the people who believe in him to heaven.
The origin is "By God's wounds" meaning Christ's stigmata (wounds from being crucified), shortened to "His wounds" and shortened still to 's wounds, shortened again to zounds. It's an exclamation; today you might say "Gadzooks" or "Jesus Christ!" or "Holy smokes." Or if you were saying it more straightforwardly, it might mean also "I swear" as in "believe me" as in "I swear on this bible" or "I swear on my mothers grave" or "I swear on God's wounds" or something similarly sacred. Now don't ask me where "Gadzooks" comes from. (Actually, it's from "God's hooks", the nails which fastened Jesus to the cross)
no, you rise again when Jesus comes back to judge, then you go to heaven or hell depending on whether you believe in Jesus or not
Russulah is the Islamic belief in the trials of the prophet. Similar to how Christians believe that "Jesus died, Jesus rose, Jesus will come again."
Jesus taught us to love, even our enemies , and to forgive again and again.And believe that Jesus died for our sins.
Doubting Thomas is so called because unlike the other apostles, he refused to believe Jesus had risen from the dead without solid proof in front of him own eyes. He could not have faith with out proof. Jesus appeared to some of the disciples, but Thomas was not with them. When the other disciples told him what had happened he rebuked them and said " Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it." (John 20:25) Eight days later Jesus appeared to the disciples again and this time Thomas was with them. He stood among them and said "Peace be with you" and then turning to Thomas he said, "Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Doubt no longer but believe" (John 20:26-29). Thomas then said that because he has seen he could believe. Jesus said to him "You believe because you can see me. Happy are those who have not seen and yet believe". This is where the name Doubting Thomas comes from.
Just ask for forgiveness and accept jesus back into your heart.
Just about all I would say, because you are not a Christian unless you believe in Jesus, and that includes believing that he was crucified and rose again.
they havve to believe in their heart that jesus died for their sins and rose again and just ask him into their heart
The evidence that John presents for the resurrection of Jesus somewhat contradicts the evidence of the other gospels, but is closest to Luke, the synoptic gospel that John's Gospel most closely resembles.In John's Gospel, the risen Jesus appeared to the disciples in the upper room and showed them his wounds, but Thomas was not present. Eight days later, Jesus again appeared to the disciples, this time with Thomas present, and offered to let Thomas touch his wounds. These appearances, and the later appearance at the Sea of Galilee, are provided as evidence of the resurrection, and the wounds are the evidence that this really was Jesus, in the flesh.
