I explained in an ealier post that there were no wounds mentioned in the passage you are quoting [John 20:25-27]. The Greek word for “Thrust” is “Ballo”, and it means to strike with force. Again what sane person would want to forcefully strike their master’s wound or scar?

I'd like to see you demonstrate some competency with the Greek text, before I start trusting you with an English translation.

CDL, would you like to get in on this action?

Yes Alex, i would like to do so.

The real question is what qualifications does the writer of this drivel have to presume to exegete the Greek Text, and what is the source of his or her statement.

i am not able to view YouTube videos from this computer, so please encourage the poster to cite his or her source(s) for this assertion.
