Since Jesus is addressed by Thomas as "My Lord and My God", this passage is considered by trinitarians to prove the "deity of Christ" - that he is "God the Son."
Solution: Thomas' confession is an acknowledgment that Jesus had indeed risen from the dead, but it is not a declaration that Jesus is "God the Son". Thomas, a Jew, used a mode of expression common to the Old Testament in which accredited representatives of God are referred to as "God". Angels are called "God" in the following passages: Gen. 16:7 cf. vs. 13; 22:8, 11, 15 cf. vs. 16; Exod. 23:20, 21. Moses is referred to as a "god" to Pharaoh. (Exod. 7:1, "god" is translated from the Heb. "elohim"). "Elohim" translated "God" can refer to the judges of Israel as in Psa. 82:1, 6 cf. John 10:34. It is also translated "judges" in Exod. 21:6; 22:8, 9 and "gods" (mg. "judges") in Exod. 22:28.
Earlier in this chapter, Jesus told Mary, "I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God and your God." (vs. 17). Since Jesus was to ascend to his God, then clearly he was not himself "Very God".

Not in my Bible. You are probably using the New World Translation . This contains numerous mistaken translations.
Moses is referred to as a "god" to Pharaoh.
Say's Pharaoh is like God .Not God.
(Exod. 7:1, "god" is translated from the Heb. "elohim"). "Elohim" translated "God" can refer to the judges of Israel as in Psa. 82:1, 6 cf. John 10:34. It is also translated "judges" in Exod. 21:6; 22:8, 9 and "gods" (mg. "judges") in Exod. 22:28.
Yes in a sense they were gods because they had godlike powers. They were God's Representatives on earth, but Thomas calls Jesus my Lord and my God.Ho Theos in the greek. The God.

Jesus was speaking as a man when he said this.So yes his Father was his God.

who do you say i am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Jesus was a man - limited as a man on earth. He was sinless and a sacrifice for sins. He performed miracles and spoke, but his job was to be the sacrificial lamb of God. When he died, he returned to the Godhead(trinity) his fullness restored. He is now God. No one took his life, he gave it. Through him all things were made. He is God made manifest.
The Jehovah's (1870) have tampered with the bible. They are screwed. the Mormons (1830) have tampered with the bible. They are screwed. the Mohammedans (630) have tampered with the bible. They are screwed. the satanists have tampered with the bible.(1900) they are screwed.
