Thomas... My Lord and my God

No.
That would make Jews God deniers, thing that no apostle ever suggested.
The apostles criticized their countrymen for not accepting Jesus messianic mission…for having crucified him… for having adhered to their sinful life.
They never ever uttered the slightest accusation to their countrymen for not having believed in Jesus deity.

To call another believer a God denier, especially another Christian fellow of yours, is charged with severe judgment and should be avoided.

That was not my question which you avoided.

(If) Christ is God and a person denies He is God would that make that person a denier of God ?

There is only one correct answer which is yes.

hope this helps !!!

You really do need to study the Bible a bit better before you try to speak authoritatively on it.

and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. (Rev. 2:9 NKJ)

Please consider

• These are not Jews, but people who pretend to be Jews.
• There is no indication that these blasphemous people believed or didn't believe in the deity of Jesus, which is the topic of this thread
• Your attempt to use Rev 2:9 to imply that our Jewish brothers are God deniers has been refuted.

Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the mutilation! For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh, (Phil. 3:2-3 NKJ)

Please consider

• These are not Jews, but Judaizers: people who despised converts from Greek origin, demanding from them to follow the Law of Moses in order to be saved.
• There is no indication at all that these Judaizers believed or didn't believe in the deity of Jesus , which is in the topic of this thread
• You attempt to use Philippians 3:2-3 to imply that our Jewish friends are God deniers has been refuted.

Jews are not God deniers, unless they live a life opposite to God.
Evangelical Christians are not God deniers, unless they a life opposite to God.

Dear @Titus, @Dizerner and @civic

I encourage you to admit that, at least in principle, nobody in this Forum is a God denier... unless you have knowledge of the private life of Forum members.

That was not my question which you avoided.

I didn't avoid it. I answered "No". That was the first word I wrote, my friend.

So, @Titus, civic and @Dizerner: stop inventing God deniers out of Christian brothers and sisters with a different theological view.
Before using that term, I kindly invite you to think what "God-denier" would mean before the eyes of God, or at least before the eyes of our Forum community.

 

[Pancho Frijoles]

This makes you a heretic....

And therefore, a person who, if dies now, deserves to roast in hell forever and ever?
Please clarify what the consequences are of not believing in Jesus deity.

If Christ is God those who deny it are God deniers. It’s just that simple.
