The Scrawny Pulpit: Daring Thomas

Did it occur to you that:

Thomas was not so much a doubter, as a “darer.”

This is profound lesson from the Story of “doubting” Thomas told with great brevity and a lesson to share with Mormons for whom the account of first hand witnesses is not enough.

I'm not sure how this applies to Mormons, but it was an interesting take on the subject. Thanks for the link.

Thanks for calling by Stephen. It applies to Mormons because Mormons appear dissatisfied with these first-hand accounts, seeking to establish their own witnesses. The impression one gets is of a people who, in that intervening week, would have cried, "Surely this is sign of apostasy!"

Take a look at this article on my other blog for a take on this:
