For those who think they don't ignore scripture and keep God's commandments and teachings, what of John 20 where Yahshuah is called God and what of Hebrews 1 that calls him God, both ho theos.
John 20:29
Might be a wrong translation. Picture it! Thomas won't believe until he sees it. The resurrected Jesus arrives and tells him to touch his wounds. Now imagine you are Thomas, now you have to stick your hands in The Lord's wounds. Thomas prayers out loud "my lord and my god". But it is possible someone added "and" there. WHO speaks the next words. Everyone say Jesus speaks them. But maybe it was Thomas who spoke them. In those seconds he realized his faith was weak and blessed those whose faith was not weak.
"My lord and my god because I have seen you I believe! but blessed are they (standing around) who believed without seeing."
What do we say when emotions overtake us? Even atheists say it. And when a believer recognizes he needs help what does he say? The only one who is able to make shame disappear it GOD. So he says "My GOD!"
Let's play it out shall we?
My lord (it's you!) My God (what was I thinking?) He was feeling shame needing to SEE him.
And I believe the only one who can make shame disappear is GOD. He was praying to God imo.
