I think I have made my basic premise clear.
1. Some, like doubting Thomas, require seeing physical evidence of the resurrection.
2. Although Jesus commended those who did not require this He nevertheless did answer Thomas request and provided it. I believe this account demonstrates that righteousness requires that He do the same for anyone else who made such a request. Everyone will appear at the judgement seat, and it would be a very strong case if they requested physical evidence, like Thomas, but were denied.
3. I think the record of the New Testament makes it very clear that Jesus did give us physical evidence that we can examine that proves the resurrection.
I would be happy to discuss those verses and that physical evidence once you stop being such a wimp about the impending "calamity" and respond to these first three points. My reason is simple, if we don't agree on the first two points it will be pointless to discuss point 3.
BTW you are the one leading this discussion as it is a response to your question.
