Thank you for that, Sword.  I hadn't looked at that passage in any other way but mournful myself until I read your entry this evening.  You have given me a great deal to consider and a good bit of encouragment.  My problems are mocking God...now, why didn't I think of that?!  Thanks again!

Puts in perspective those who would say...that nation is no longer a Christian nation...even God won't save it...

Well, whenever I've dared God to show His love for me, He has always come through in a possitive way.  I think it's how we dare God that matters: are we submitting to him, or aren't we?  I think God possitively responded to a dare from Thomas.  Thomas seems to get presented as someone with a problem.  I think he had something right, that many people lack: when He didn't trust Jesus, he still didn't give up on Jesus.  He let Jesus prove Himself to him.  I'm sure he had rock-solid faith afterwards.

24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

25 So the other disciples were saying to him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I see in His hands the imprint of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe."

 26 After eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors having been shut, and stood in their midst and said, "Peace be with you."

 27 Then He said to Thomas, "Reach here with your finger, and see My hands; and reach here your hand and put it into My side; and do not be unbelieving, but believing."

 28 Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!"

 29 Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed."
