***It is clear that the early Gospel writers did not think of jesus as being God-man, but man, as the Jews would have thought of their messiah. ***
John 20:28 “Thomas said “My Lord and my God.”
Obvious to me.
John 20:28 Thomas said My Lord and my God.
Irish, John's Gospel was the last written, about 60 years after Christ, at the very end of the 1st century. The earlier Gospels, written about 20 years before, do not mention his divnity. That is a considerable gap, especially in context where the Church was at those times.
You are reading the Book out od context.
