     @themilkman Amen! I think it helps to ask why Thomas wasn't there the first time vs the second time when we look at the verse. All of the other apostles were but he was out doing something, probably something that helped the ministry considering they were still wanted by the Sanhedrin at that point.

     @BowsacNoodle GM fren, it is a good reminder that the Faith is held strong not just because of what we have on Earth as the physical, but also the Spiritual, we believe in the Lords Good News more than just what "evidence" we have on him here, but also because we know in our Hearts that his teachings are the truth.
     
     today i had a little discussion in the cafe after Service about this too, but i think won't be making a thousand word long post again lel.
     
     Praise the Lord!

     @BowsacNoodle oh yeah, Thomas not believing at first sure was a sign of unbelief, but i think it's also important to focus on a lesson we can learn from him.
     
     the difference between wanting knowledge and wanting proof.
     
     i certaintly didn't believe in God i would say 5 years ago (i would say since i have been agnostic before i converted).
     
     but the thing that made me go insane is that i can't get a straight answer of whether there is a God or there isn't, eventually i started researching and after reflecting on my life and the world around me, i realized there is, but in the beginning it was this demand for knowledge that got me further.
     
     my faith got multiplied in strength after i set on it questions (not in a way testing God) because i believed that there would be an answer to every one of these questions, and that it would stay perfectly consistent, and everytime i did i would get an Answer that makes sense and ties it stronger together, my faith got stronger because i wanted to believe in it.
     
     i realized especially how amazing it is when other people, after they found out i am converting, asked me a lot of these "atheist gotcha" questions, and i was just able to answer them all, and i was able to learn more from my own answers there.
     
     it *is* "written in our Hearts", without a doubt.

     @themilkman Glory to Jesus Christ! I can relate to this so much man. I like to think Thomas was chosen and this passage included specifically for people like you and me.
