This is one of the very few instances in the Bible that it is claimed that the word THEOS is used of Jesus. Even here, however, some scholars, due to the peculiar Greek sentence structure, do not believe that Thomas meant the address "the god of me" to be directed toward Jesus, but rather to the God of Jesus.
Assuming, however, that Thomas really did mean "and the god of me" to be directed to Jesus, it still would not mean that Thomas thought he was addressing the Most High Yahweh himself in the flesh. Rather, it would indicate that Thomas recognized Jesus as his one of strength, his mighty ruler, in accordance with the Hebraic usage.
