” But Thomas (who was called the Twin), one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my hand in his side, I will not believe.” A week later his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were shut, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it in my side. Do not doubt but believe.” Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe.” Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book. But these are written so that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through believing you may have life in his name.” John 20

Read John chapter 20 and tell us again that Jesus was not “nailed to any thing”!

There are many here that know the truth and have their Bible doctrine right on. Chatter 4 is a non believer just here to stir up trouble. I doubt if he searches the scriptures for clues to salvation but for proving the Bible wrong and therefore Christianity wrong. Sad to see one poor soul going through life so miserable when the greatest joy the Lord has made for us is as close as one mind set away.

“Read John chapter 20 and tell us again that Jesus was not “nailed to any thing”!”

There is no mention of Jesus being nailed to anything in John 20 or any ther chapter in the Bible. Are you going to claim that the only way to get a mark on your hand from a nail is if you are impaled by it? People receive cuts from staples every day. Does that mean they were stapled to something? Wasn’t Jesus scourged? It is well known that the Romans attached nails, glass and bone to their flogs.

You should read the passage again yourself, and, if you are willing to be honest about it, you will see it does not say Jesus was nailed or attached in any manner to anything in John 20.
