Again epostle, Mother Teresa WORSHIPED Mary as her god! This IS Idolatry!
If she did in fact worship Mary that is indeed idolatry and is wicked and evil. The question is, since YOU are the one accusing her of worshiping Mary as her God, then reveal the evidence to support your accusation. Anyone can SAY she did that. What then, i am to take YOUR word for it that she worshiped Mary, what kind of idiot would do that without any evidence to support such a condemning accusation. That would be like unto me accusing you of being a thief yet do not say what it is you stole that makes you a thief. Or i could call you a a liar, without showing what you said that is a lie. i hear you three all saying she worshiped Mary, yet i have not yet seen one thing that would suggest, indicate, reveal that is the TRUTH. So far they are only accusations against a woman who loved much in this world and has helped more people in need then 100 of YOU put together. So i don't take accusations of condemnation lightly, if you are accusing her of worshiping Mary, which if she did then you are correct, she will not enter into Heaven, but so far all i have to go on, is YOUR words, show me evidence where she did what you are accusing her of. Have you not heard of the Golden Rule, Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Tell me, if you were being accused of something evil, which would cause you to go to HELL, would you not want the evidence to be presented? You and two others so far as i have seen are accusing Sister Teresa of Idolatry by worshiping Mary, So then present the evidence that she indeed did this thing that you are now accusing her of. Did you witness this? Did KenAllen witness her doing that? Is it not written
Deu_19:15 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.
i hear three witnesses which accuse Sister Teresa of worshiping Mary, which is a sin of idolatry, yet not one of these witness has witnessed Sister Teresa worshiping Mary. What kind of witness are these then, if they accuse without any evidence whatsoever in that which they accuse? How are they not false witnesses?
Deu_19:18 And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother;
Pro_6:19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
Pro_12:17 He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.
Pro_14:5 A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.
Pro_19:5 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
Pro_19:9 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.
Pro_21:28 A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.
Pro_25:18 A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.
Three of you accuse Sister Teresa as worshiping Mary, if you do not have evidence to support such an accusation, then i have no choice to believe you to be a liar. You are only assuming she did that, you are condemning a Sister based on assumptions, this is not of God but of satan. If you can show the evidence that she indeed worshiped Mary, then it is a Righteous accusation, but if you can't, then you should never have accused her of doing so. Remember, you are accusing someone that Jesus loves. So if you are going to accuse another, make sure you KNOW it is True, and do not accuse another based on your assumptions.
Because of the worship you Catholics give to Mary will keep you from Inheriting the Kingdom of God. Face it epostle, your hero Mother Teresa will be sitting in the Lake of Fire!
What is wrong with you? Where is your love? Where is Christ in you? When i read the above, i was absolutely appalled. By this statement you have judge Every single Catholic as worshiping Mary. Now i understand why you falsely accuse Sister Teresa as you do. YOU think all Catholics worship Mary, therefore because Sister Teresa was a Catholic, she must have worshiped Mary also. You do error and do not know the TRUTH, and i fear the Truth is not for you, there is no light in you at all, because of the darkness that is revealed here. And what is wrong with you? Let us assume that a person does worship Mary, Do you think saying what you say above is reaching them with LOVE, or lashing out at them because they are lost? i sense hatred in you, not love. By saying "you Catholics" and saying " your hero Mother Teresa" These are not words of love, but words to cause strife, to cause anger, to cause contention, you are not trying to reach them, you are condemning them, oh how sad for you, by the same merit you have condemned them, you shall be condemned. oh how sad indeed. my heart grieves for you this night.
Its NOT our WORKS that determine if we Inherit the Kingdom of God. Its if you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior that counts.
And you think Sister Teresa did not accept Jesus Christ?
God does NOT look at the works Mother Teresa has done because we are NOT judged by our works!
you do not know the Truth, we are judged by our works.
1Pe_1:17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
Rev_22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
Know you not that it is our works that shows who is in our hearts? It is Commanded for us to Love One Another. Jesus is Love. if you Love one another you will have works, not because you have to have works, not because you are doing works to get into Heaven, you do works because Love is in you (Jesus is in you) And because love is in you, you love others. Many claim to have Jesus in them, but they do not love others. When have you helped the needy? When have you clothed the naked? Do you give to charity? Do you help those in need? Or do you only take care of you and yours? Those who Truly have Jesus in them, they WILL have many good works. Do you?
How can a Catholic Inherit the Kingdom of God when they believe and teach they do not receive Salvation until AFTER they die and spend time in Purgatory WORKING for their Salvation by working off the stain of their sins epostle?
Funny i know Christians who believe you immediately go to Heaven or to Hell when you die, i know Christians who teach that when you die you sleep until Christ comes back. i know Christians (Catholics) who believe when you die you go to Purgatory. i know Christians who believe when you die you go to rest at a place called Sheol. i know Christians who believe if a person dies not a Christian they are reincarnated for another chance to accept Jesus. i know Christians who teach the Rapture happens Before the Tribulations, i know Christians who teach the Rapture happens After the Tribulation. i know Christians the teach the Rapture happens during Tribulations. i know Christians who believe Once Saved Always Saved. i know Christians who believe you can be blotted out of the Book of life. i know Christians who believe Faith only is enough to Save a person. i know Christians who believe Faith and Works go hand in hand. i even know Christians who thinks Works is going to get them to Heaven. i know Christians who believe only 144,000 will be Raptured. i know Christians who believe the Rapture has already happened.
my point is you say above that because Catholics believe this or that, that they are not going to get to inherit the Kingdom of God. Didn't you say that believing in Jesus is what is important? Can a Christian who believes in Jesus which believes in pretrib inherit the Kingdom of God? Can a Christian who believes in Jesus which believes in posttrib inherit the Kingdom of God? you are right, it is not necessarily what a person believes, but what is important is Jesus Christ. Now answer me this.
Can a Catholic Inherit the Kingdom of God if they believe in Jesus Christ and believe they do not receive Salvation until AFTER they die and spend time in Purgatory WORKING for their Salvation by working off the stain of their sins ? Do you see what you have done. Even Christians have many differing beliefs, but they are still Christians. Just because they believe something that is false does not mean they Hell bound as you are indicating. Consider Christians. Many believe pretrib, many believe midtrib, many believe posttrib, two of them are WRONG. What then, according to you if their belief is wrong, then they are not going to enter into the Kingdom of God. Well that is exactly what you are saying above, you are condemning them for a false belief that they have, yet they too believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that is what is important.
Do you NOT see how the Catholic Church has corrupted the teachings from the Holy Spirit? Will you ever epostle turn away from the lies of the Catholic Church to follow Jesus only?
You really need to get your facts together before commenting on another. epostle is not a Catholic.
Or is your Pride that great that it is keeping you from humbling yourself before God and following Him ONLY?
Are you suggesting there is not one Catholic that follows Jesus only? Brother you are super prejudice against All Catholics, you are dead wrong.
i am against many of the beliefs of the Catholic Church, just as equally against the beliefs of the Protestant Church as well. But you have condemned them all to Hell, based on YOUR assumptions and misunderstandings of them. You seem to forget, to your own woe, that you are condemning brothers and sisters in Christ, for they too believe that Jesus is the Son of God. You would do well to remember these verses.
Mar 9:38 And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us. :39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. :40 For he that is not against us is on our part.
Are the Catholics against Jesus Christ and His Apostles? the answer is NO. What i hear most often is so called Christians speaking bad against Catholics which are believers in the same Jesus Christ that we believe in. i rarely ever hear a bad word about Christians coming from Catholics. What does that reveal to you?
