Where does the bible say that Thomas was a missionary to India?
Resurrection
Thomas said "i wont believe that man is Christ until i put my finger inside the wound" (en.wikipedia.org
Then Thomas found Jesus and Jesus had him put the finger in the wound and he said "My Lord!" and kneeled infront of him, and Jesus said:
"You now believe cause you have SEEN, blessed those who believe without seeing"
The point of the fable is that there are ways to empirically prove that God exists, but its a rather inconvenient path cause it involves you having some sort of "gnostic" revelation that involves you physically experiencing Christ's pain and feeling the deepest sense of shame a man can feel
Is that a legit question? I'm guessing you aren't a believer.
It's up to you. People are born in this world to die. They live with the constant fear of death. Jesus repeatedly told the apostles not to worry and fear.
>blessed those who believe without seeing
What's so great about this philosophy? I believe in Kek because I have seen signs and wonders.
i don't think its supposed to mean "don't doubt authority", i think its just a statement of how painful and lonely the path to finding the truth by your own actually is

This narrative echoes an earlier story of the sacrifice of Isaac by his father Abraham. It is the one most heinous according to many critics, including lesser Hitchens.
The insinuation is that faith, especially faith in the face of adversity and challenges, is better than needing evidence. Hence, doubting Thomas, the skeptic and rational individual post-crucifixion, is lamented by theologians for ever doubting christ. The lesson to be learned is that to doubt one's faith is to be unfaithful and thus bad.
Even though he was really doubting hysterical women who had just lost a close friend three days prior who came in ranting and raving about resurrected Christ.
