Ah. So that's what they're called? :-) Joh 20:28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. Thomas called Jesus "Lord" AND "God". My previous response covers this as well.

Thomas calls the resurrected Christ "God". Not only that, he calls him "My God". He doesn't say "You who will sit on the throne in the future and thus can be considered God." He calls him "My Lord AND my God."

I believe that Thomas fully understood that the messiah was God in the flesh.

You were there? I believe he was looking at the Messiah and praising God for what He had done. He doesn't say I know you are God in the flesh. We can play the "doesn't say" game all day long.

I know you have to. Wouldn't want anyone to think you were wandering away from the "United Magesterium"? Would we? :-)

And Peter didn't.

Matthew 16:
[16] Simon Peter replied, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
[17] And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jona! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
