Thomas said 'My Lord and my God." Much more goes into referring to Jesus as God than simply what he said. Much of it has to do with what the OT foreshadowed and how Jesus apparently fulfilled many of those prophecies - "A child will be born...and his name will be called...Heavenly Father, Almighty God... ." Jesus also said, "Before Abraham, I was or I Am."
