The Lord God said there is no other Saviour, and yet Jesus Christ is the Saviour of the world. You slide right over that Rock of Offense, don't you?
You didn't read it, did you? You didn't read how John the Baptist was the one who would "prepare the highway for our God", either, did you? Isaiah 40:3
So, your claim is that Jesus allowed Thomas to call Him Lord and God, and even told him he would be blessed when He isn't really God? You don't know that it's God that giveth life and takes it away?
This tells it all.
I'm telling you what is clearly seen because I am an ambassador for Christ. You cannot be reconciled to God until you recognize WHO God is. Thomas called Jesus, "My Lord and My God", as all true believers do. No, it's your denial of the Deity of Jesus Christ that keeps you from having full assurance of salvation. You know you're not saved..."being saved" shows your lack of assurance....which is only right. You can have no assurance when you reject your ONLY SAVIOUR. Paul says to examine yourself, whether you be in the faith.
Jesus Christ is, indeed, the stone of stumbling and the Rock of Offense. God came and dwelt among us, and so many reject Him. :nono:
Can you explain away all these verses?
