Because you have seen me, you have believed - He saw, then believed. Doesn't take anything but having one's eyes opened. Jesus doesn't say he was blessed at all! Blessed are those WHO have not seen and yet believe.

Cronos (quoting boatbums quoting the bible :-P): Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed. > that does not say MORE blessed are those.....
Pres :He saw, then believed. Doesn't take anything but having one's eyes opened. Jesus doesn't say he was blessed at all! Blessed are those WHO have not seen and yet believe.
1. So do you think that St. Thomas was not blessed?
2. This is still a passage about St. Thomas, not anyone else, so to conjecture that all the Apostles who did see and did believe were not blessed is quite incorrect.

Presently no : He saw, then believed. Doesn't take anything but having one's eyes opened. Jesus doesn't say he was blessed at all!
So, are you saying that St. Thomas the Apostle was not blessed at all?
Are you saying that those who saw Christ and believed were/are not blessed?
