The Real Story of Saint Thomas the Apostle

Saint Thomas the Apostle with Philosophy Book and Spear

Saint Thomas the Apostle, Doubting Thomas, had the full name of Thomas Judeas Didymous, and was both the first cousin and adopted brother of Jesus of Nazareth. Saint Thomas is the Founder of the Thomistic Church whose theology and philosophy was later explicated by Saint Thomas Aquainas. Thomas was also a Taoist who believed in the Godhead Tao of Being, Logos, and Substance. After meeting with his brother, Jesus Christ, subsequent to the Ressurection, Thomas headed for Byzantium in Asia Minor (later Constantinople or Istanbul) and spread the Good News of the Gospel to the King of Byzantium. After spending several years at the King's Court in Byzantium, the King insisted that Thomas marry his rather plain daughter. Thomas refusued and the King decided to have him executed by facing a firing squad of archers with bows and arrows. The archers took Thomas outside the city and then placed him against a tree, and then each fired an arrow into the chest of Saint Thomas and left him for dead. However, Saint Thomas was saved by the intervention of Saint Anthony the Archangel, and the arrows were removed and Saint Thomas was healed, and soon woke up from his near-death-experience. This, of course was in fulfillment of the Prophecy of Jesus Christ that his cousin/brother, Saint Thomas would stay alive until and beyond the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

(This account of the Life and Times of Saint Thomas the Apostle is an Allegorical Account which has about the same reliability as the Christian biblical accounts of various miracles.)
