Re: Tough Questions for Christians #7: St. Thomas

The flaw in what you are saying is that all people have to know that the Messiah died on the cross and was raised from the dead in order to be saved. This couldn't be further from the truth. The Scriptures do not teach this. All the books of Scripture written before the Messiah was born teach that people were saved. But how could they be saved if they didn't acknowledge the death and ressurection of the Messiah? Thomas' salvation was not based on knowing that Yahushua was resurrected. The only reason Yahushua wanted Thomas to be absolutely convinced it was him, and actually was resurrected, was that Thomas could only preach to the world the goodness of Yahuwah's saving grace through the Atonement of Yahushua. Now I hope to explain this in much greater detail in a future response video to one of your other videos, but I'll just briefly touch upon it in this video. Messiah only intervenes when He is asked to intervene, and even then, He will only intervene when it leads to the greatest amount of people not going to hell. Again, the answer to your question, is that this evidence that Yahushua was resurrected had nothing to do with Thomas' salvation, it only had to do with other people's salvation, in that Thomas had to be fired up and bold in order to be able to preach the truth to the nations and save people's souls.
