You ever seen the book of Thomas? Why is it that Thomas gets such a bad rap, anyway? Judas did the betraying. Peter did the denying (and also fell through when walking on water...how come it is he isn't "faithless"?) Anyway, there were, I believe, about 50 books that the political figures of the day deemed would not be in the modern Bible (so much for God's word being immutable), and Thomas was one of them. http://www.misericordia.edu/users/davies/thomas/Trans.htm > > Trust in the Lord, with all your heart, and lean not to your own > understanding; but in all your ways, acknowlege him, and He will direct your > footsteps.
