Josh

Which disciple doubted the resurrection and didn’t believe until they physically saw Jesus?

You may think the answer is “doubting Thomas,” but the correct answer is ALL of them. (Luke 24)

Thomas gets a lot of heat for not believing, and we often read the "blessed are those who believe without seeing" bit as a criticism of Thomas. But the fact is, none of the disciples believed the women's testimony.

@thecouchman Ah, cool. I found the transcript.

In the Luke passage, I wonder what it means when Luke writes that the words of the women "seemed like nonsense."

Is it "what you are saying cannot be true?" Or "the women were speaking in an unintelligible way?" Or perhaps more powerfully, "in the same way they couldn't recognize Christ in their presence at times, they couldn't comprehend the words of His resurrection at that time."
