  Doubting Thomas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Doubting Thomas is a term that is used to describe someone who refuses to believe something without direct, personal evidence; a skeptic.
The term is based on the Biblical account of Thomas the Apostle, who doubted the resurrection of Jesus and demanded to feel Jesus' wounds before being convinced (John 20:24-29).
After seeing Jesus alive and receiving the opportunity to touch his wounds — according to the author of the Gospel of John Thomas professed his faith in Jesus; on this account he is also called Thomas the Believer.

 Thomas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thomas was not a Biblical given name, but originated from the Aramaic designation תום or Tôm.
The meaning of the name is "twin", and in the New Testament the designation was applied to Judas Thomas, "Jude the Twin" who was venerated as Saint Thomas the Apostle.
The name "Thomas" was not very popular until the 12th century, after the martyrdom of Thomas à Becket.

 Doubting Thomas
Thomas Friedman in his paean to Yossi Beilin seems to have forgotten that a definition of a fanatic is one who, when he sees that his way has failed redoubles his efforts.
Thomas took the Crown Prince at his word that he was seeking peace with Israel even though only a year and a half earlier the CP played a role in sinking the Camp David Summit, as reported by the NY Times.
That Thomas Friedman bases a column on mere wordplay is a reminder that he is more concerned with soundbites than with analysis.

 Metropolis Records: Doubting Thomas
Doubting Thomas only released two records, recording The Infidel and Father Don't Cry as the Puppy allowed between 1987 and 1990.
Both records were released on Wax Trax in 1991, and their blend of danceable sequencer rhythms and flights of fancy were met with critical and public acclaim by fans everywhere.
Skinny Puppy made its way into the 90s, fractured by the death of Goettel and the departure of Ogre, and was replaced by the creation of Download, a highly experimental project consisting of Key and a rotating roster of the industry's finest experimenters.

 Patron Saints Index: Saint Thomas the Apostle
"Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came." He was the only disciple absent; on his return he heard what had happened but refused to believe it.
When Thomas saw and touched, why was he told: "You have blieved because you have seen me?" Because what he saw and what he believed were different things.
God cannot be seen by mortal man. Thomas saw a human being, whom he acknowledged to be God, and said: "My Lord and my God." Seeing, he believed ; looking at one who was true man, he cried out that this was God, the God he could not see.

In my Musings section, Thomas repeated some of the comments he had made in our debate, and prefaced his comments by saying that he was an 8 year Army veteran.
In case Thomas had done some rather interesting things as a member of the Army, I wanted to be sure that he knew IP addresses could be traced, and that he ought to be discreet about some of the statements he made.
Within short order, Thomas wrote to reiterate the statement that he did indeed serve in the military, and made it clear that he believed I was accusing him of lying.

The Day of St. Thomas is also the day of the winter solstice, the year's longest night and shortest day.
Thomas is commemorated on this day because he was the last one of the apostles to become convinced of Jesus' resurrection -- he was the one who for the longest time remained in the "night of unbelief and doubt." These are some of the traditions practiced on this day:

 A Doubting Thomas
Thomas, however, suggests that everyone in creation has the capacity to know God; that each one of us already has the resources we need to discern the truth for ourselves.
The point Pagels is making is that the discovery of the Gospel of Thomas shows that early Christians did have differing understandings of God and their relationship with Jesus.
The message of the Gospel of Thomas, that we can find truth within and that there is no secret source of truth, that revelation is open to all, seems to be very congruent with many of our UU ideals.

In weaving a narrative of the cultural history of reception and transmission of one of the most arresting, and misunderstood, pericopes in the New Testament, the author provides the reader with a lively analytical study of central questions of faith and doubt, skepticism and persuasion synchronically and diachronically.
The nature of belief, its relation to seeing and to touching, is at the center of this fascinating and strikingly lucid account of the problematic New Testament figure of Thomas, better known as Doubting Thomas.
Whether exploring the vexing ambiguities in Chapter 20 of the Gospel of John or the subtle differences in the iconography of their representation from the Middle Ages to Caravaggio in the late Renaissance, Glenn Most is always insightful, illuminating, engaging.
