GospeL Verses ~ John 20:19-29
19 Later that same day (still) on the first day of the week, the disciples were behind a locked door, for fear of the leaders, when Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” 20 And he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus again said, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” 22 And he blew breath toward them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 (I cannot understand this verse 23, the Spirit is not leading. I’m not sure if the translations of the Greek words are accurate.) The usual translation - If you (apostles) forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them, if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld.” (Forgive and forget? As in when you forgive, forget? The scripture is infallible as originally written, and as to the Truth the scripture reveals, but some errors of translation have definitely occurred. This was spoken to all the apostles, none above another.) 24 Now one of the twelve, Thomas, called the Twin, wasn’t with them that day when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and touch them and and place my hand into his side wound, I will never believe.” 26 Then eight days later, his disciples were inside again, but this time Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Touch here, and see my hands, and put your hand to my side. Don’t disbelieve, Thomas, but believe.” (Nobody uses the phrase doubting Thomas any more?) 28 Thomas answered, “My Lord and my God!” 29 Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

~ 1 Corinthians 15:34-40 ~
34 Wake up! As is right, and do not go on missing the mark. For some (of you) have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame. 35 But someone will mock saying, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?” 36 Oh silly one! A seed you plant in the ground cannot come to life unless it dies. 37 And the seed sowed is not the body that will be, but a bare kernel, maybe of wheat or of some other grain. 38 But God gives to it a body as he has chosen, and each kind of seed has its own body. 39 For not are all the same, but there is one kind of body and flesh for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish. 40 And there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. And the glory of the heavenly (body) is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly (body) is of another.
