Reblogged from Zwinglius Redivivus:
The day of Jesus resurrection the disciples (except for Thomas, and Judas of course) were gathered in the same location in which they had eaten the 'Last Supper' just a few days before. Suddenly the risen Jesus appeared and conversed with them.
When Thomas next appears he is told what happened and he doesn't believe it. 'Unless I see the prints in his hands and push my finger in his side, I won't believe'.
Brilliant post from Zwinglius Redivivus. Kudos to Michael Barber for pointing this out. It seems that one could give a propter quid account for this, explaining why absence from "the assembly" leads to doubt, but not with a Zwinglian ecclesiology...
