World-Order Wickedness :: By Terry James
There has developed a dichotomy of perception about the earth’s future. The division is, I think, clearly defined in a story I recently heard a preacher tell. He said a schoolgirl was assigned the task of writing an essay. The girl’s choice was on the wonderful new world order that was being constructed. She was […]

Rapture: In the Meantime… :: By Lisa Heaton
We’re waiting. We’re looking up. Is that all we need to be doing in the meantime, that period of time while we are all awaiting the rapture? Hardly. We have much to do–in the meantime. We have a lost world to reach and a sleeping body of believers to wake. More importantly, we have our […]

The Name and Identity of God: A Different Approach
I have argued against passing agenda item 20 for the following reasons: 1) it overreaches with its ambiguous use of “title”; 2) we should not continue to add doctrinal commitments to the obligations for ministers; 3) the statement sets a precedent of f…
How do we reconcile Jesus appearance in Luke & John passage relating to Thomas?
How do we reconcile Jesus’ appearance in the Luke & John passages relating to Thomas:
Matt 27 – Judas killed himself before Jesus’ resurrection
Luke 24 – Jesus met the rest of the disciples eleven & 51) Jesus ascended to heaven on…
Did Thomas touch Jesus hand(s), or seeing was enough for him to believe?
In John 20:24-25 one reads
But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
Then, Thomas answered as if he really believed what was in front of him (John 20:28)
And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
To which Jesus replied
Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
As Jesus only addresses the component of the vision, does it mean that for Thomas that was enough?
Notes:
-
Emphasis throughout the verses was mine.

Another question on this passage, on a different topic, that one might like to read: When Jesus tells Thomas to reach out his hand and ‘put it into’ his side, was he wearing clothing covering his side?

What was the Last Supper? :: By Bill Wilson
As we enter the High Holy Days commemorating the death and resurrection of the Christ that all who believe in him should not perish, but have everlasting life, it is fitting that we understand exactly what was the “Last Supper.” The traditional Christian concept of the Last Supper is Christ having dinner with his disciples […]
