[Cronos]

Actually, you never explained your post 264 where in response to John 20:29 Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” you said that

He (*St. Thomas*) saw, then believed. Doesn't take anything but having one's eyes opened. Jesus doesn't say he was blessed at all!

1. So (*question*)do you think that St. Thomas was not blessed?

2. This is still a passage about St. Thomas, not anyone else, so to conjecture that all the Apostles who did see and did believe were not blessed is quite incorrect.

You take one Scripture and try to make doctrine out of it.

What did Jesus say - WITHOUT YOU ADDING TO IT? He was addressing those who have not seen Him. If you can't understand that - as IT IT WRITTEN - I say it's caused by too much catechism and too much of man's way of doing things.

Do you think you can read that Scripture as IT IS WRITTEN and take from it what it is saying? You might benefit from that exercise. Is Jesus saying who isn't blessed or saying who is blessed? Why then are you asking me and making an assumption on something that isn't addressed? Don't add or take away anything from His Word.
