Why is the disciple Thomas important?

[jwirr]

1. He had enough sense to ask questions and not believe everything

he was told. He was not a rw tbagger.

2. Just like Ebenezer Scrooge, he took a lot of convincing.

without Scrooge, and his skepticism, there wouldn't be much of that 'A Christmas Carol' story.

3. I doubt that my vote will matter,

so I won't bother.

5. You posted on July 3rd after dawn (not just a short time after midnight July 2nd) ...

so this is for you. Did you know the following?

July 3 is the feast day of St. Thomas the Didymus, one of the original twelve apostles, from whom we get the term "doubting Thomas."

6. Didn't know he had his own day, but I did know about "doubting Thomas."

I assumed most Westerners knew it.

7. Because his account proves that the early Christian church was gnostic

And pretty much shows that every Christian church afterwards, was not original Christianity, no matter how you spin it
