  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

did Jesus not ask Thomas to put his finger in the holes in his feet?

Because Thomas is the one who said he would not believe until he could touch the holes in his hands and side. So, in the Lords goodness and i believe humor, He said to touch his hands and side.

John 20:24-29 AMP But Thomas, one of the Twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples kept telling him, We have seen the Lord! But he said to them, Unless I see in His hands the marks made by the nails and put my finger into the nail prints, and put my hand into His side, I will never believe [it]. Eight days later His disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, though they were behind closed doors, and stood among them and said, Peace to you! Then He said to Thomas, Reach out your finger here, and see My hands; and put out your hand and place [it] in My side. Do not be faithless and incredulous, but [stop your unbelief and] believe! Thomas answered Him, My Lord and my God! Jesus said to him, Because you have seen Me, Thomas, do you now believe (trust, have faith)? Blessed and happy and to be envied are those who have never seen Me and yet have believed and adhered to and trusted and relied on Me.

Thomas said he would not believe unless he saw and put his hands in the nails prints in Jesus' hands and the mark in his side. Thomas did not mention anything about the nail print in the feet and so Jesus gave him exactly what he wanted in order for Him to believe. I believe that if Thomas had wanted to put his finger in the nail print in his feet also, Jesus would have let Him do it.

I saw a history show on tv years ago that had dug up remains of people who were crucified during the reign of the Roman empire. And what was interesting was they found one that still had the nails in the feet, driven through the bone. But the nails were driven through the heel of the foot, not the top of the foot as is always depicted in the movies and such.

I thought that find was pretty interesting in light of scripture, and of the "bruising of the heel."

To the serpent the Lord said....

Genesis 3:15
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Those who were of the serpents seed would bruise his heel, but those who are of the Lords seed shall trample on the serpents head.

Luke 10:19;"Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you."

Romans 16:20;" And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen."
