The Catholic Church teaches one cannot receive Salvation until they become Righteous by their own works! One becomes Righteous by working off their sins in Purgatory.
Sorry KenAllen but i would like to hear from someone who does not hate/predjudice against the Catholic about what the Catholic Church actually teaches. That would be like me asking a KKK member what Black People teach and believe. Do you see the conflict of interest there?
This is what Catholicism believes and teaches.
Says someone who condemns every single Catholic alive. And you expect me to believe you?
Therefore Mather Teresa could not have received Salvation before she died because she was 100% Catholic.
And there you have it, you are witness against your own self, that you believe it is not possible for any Catholic person to be Born Again, that it is not possible that any Catholic can believe that Jesus is the Son of God, died for them, rose from the Dead. Them that are ignorant let them be ignorant still. i think you would do well to remember, the Catholic Bible has the same Books of the Bible that is in the Protestant Bible. My point is the verses in our Bible about what Jesus taught and said, and the same verses which teach what a person must do to be Saved, is also in the CATHOLIC BIBLE too. But according to you there is not one Catholic that believes their own Bible concerning Jesus Christ. Let them be ignorant still the Word of God says, and that is written in the Protestant Bible and the Catholic Bible too.
If Pope John Paul II saw nothing wrong with bowing down and Worshiping Mary, then there is a 99.9999999999% chance Mother Teresa ALSO bowed down and Worshiped Mary!
OH, Folks there you have it, KenAllen testifies that He does not Know if Sister Teresa worshiped Mary, He is only assuming that she did. Woe to KenAllen indeed. Casting judgement upon a sister of the Lord based his own assumptions, and not based on Fact, not based on TRUTH, but based on his own predjudice stinking thinking.
It sounds like you are the best poster boy for Catholicism DiscipleDave!
Yes, i can see why YOU would think such a thing. i LOVE PEOPLE, just as Jesus LOVED PEOPLE. You group people together and condemn them to Hell because they belong to a group. Catholism, Protestant, Hinduism, Buddism, i don't care about none of that stuff. Southern Baptist, Pentecostal, Apoligetic, and whatever other group there is , i can care less about any of that stuff. i only care about and teach the TRUTH of God. The Word teaches for us to have one mind, to think the same things, But this generation that is before my eyes is so divided it makes me sick. i am such and such, i belong to the group such and such. Oh that person believes that, ooohh but this person believes this, All divided.
Jesus said that He was the Way, the Light, the Truth. Anyone, and i mean anyone who believes in Jesus and has accepted Him as their Savior and Lord, is accepted by Him, it does not matter if they are Catholic, Hindu, buddhist or even Muslim. ANYONE who accepts Jesus and believes in Him, is accepted by HIM, regardless what anyone else in this God forsaken, Truth barren, world teaches.
i do not believe the Catholic Religion is correct, never did. i was a 16 year old boy who revealed to a devout Catholic person the errors in the Beliefs of the Catholic Church, from what i did know of them at that time, and she converted to the Christian Faith at that time. She was my Mother.
You say that i would make a good poster boy for Catholism. Do you even hear yourself? Do you even think before you write something? i have not promoted the Catholic Faith at all, NONE, i don't agree with it, nor do i support what they do. i have never once held up the Catholic Faith, not once. But i have defended a Sister in the Lord, because i LOVE her, and Jesus loves her too. The only thing i have done from the start, is ask you to reveal the evidence to your statement that she worshiped Mary as her God. You accused a Sister of the Lord Jesus Christ with a very serious accusation, one that would indeed prevent her from going to Heaven, which i agreed it would, All i have done is say if you are going to accuse a Sister in the Lord Jesus Christ that you would present the evidence to back up such an accusation, and because i did this, you now say that i would make a good poster boy for Catholism. Are we talking about Catholics religion, Catholic Faith, Catholic beliefs, or Catholic Doctrine? NO we are not, we are specifically talking about the child of God which the world refers to as Mother Teresa. And she is a child of God, because ALL are children of God. Even Lucifer is a child of God.
So i see you still have not shown any proof whatsoever, that Sister Teresa did in fact worship Mary as her God. Oh Woe unto you though, if she did not do that thing, and YOU are teaching people that she did, how will you escape the wrath of God?
We CAN judge those who claim to be our Brothers in Christ DiscipleDave!
of coarse you can, how else will i know, not to eat with a fornicator, unless i have judged him/her to be a fornicator. What you seem to forget, which is now me saying it twice. Is we are NOT to judge according to appearance, but Judge Righteous Judgments. Sure it APPEARS that Sister Teresa worshiped Mary as her God, because it APPEARS most Catholics do. But say she did that, is in FACT judging according to APPEARANCE, and NOT judging her based on FACTS. Not everyone in the Catholic Faith worship Mary as a God, to say that EVERYONE of them do, is just plain ignorance. You even testified against yourself saying that because the POPE worships Mary then there is 99.99999999 % chance that Sister Teresa did too. Ignorance at its best.
[SUP]11 [/SUP] But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner--not even to eat with such a person.
[SUP]12 [/SUP] For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside?
[SUP]13 [/SUP] But those who are outside God judges. Therefore "put away from yourselves the evil person."
We ARE to judge those who claim they are our Brothers in Christ DisciplrDave!
And have i said otherwise? NOPE. So we are to judge those within, that is absolutely True, and How are we to judge those within according to the Word of God?
Joh_7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
This YOU do NOT do. Sure you have every right to Judge her. so do i. But YOU ARE judging her according to appearance, therefore YOUR judgement is UNrighteous and not righteous at all. But how can you make the blind see, if they like being blind.
