NOTE: The book is a collection of Teresa's letters written privately to
spiritual counselors; published with hierarchy approval by her long-time
friend Rev. Brian Kolodiejchuk M.C.; director of the Mother Teresa Center,
and a Postulator in favor of her canonization.
Why would a so-called friend and the RCC do this against her wishes?
I feel bad for her being exposed this way.
In point of fact, Teresa wanted her private letters
destroyed after her death, but the Church refused.
Why would the RCC so blatantly disregard her wishes in this matter?
It seems so incredibly disrespectful to ignore her explicit preferences.
Is there a reason we are harping on this person after they are dead?
Like we have something to prove to people?
That we are happy she's there in order to prove a point?
I think it all very sad, especially all the more so since she wanted her private thoughts kept private... and nobody has answered as to why she was so brutally betrayed by the church she served so faithfully her whole life.
It really strikes me as a violation of the worst sort. Very sad indeed.

This is what you said and i quoted

"Unless she accepted Jesus Christ died for her sins and was born again, a teaching the RCC doesn't teach, she will not be there."

then you say quote "I wasn't suggesting the RCC teaches or doesn't teach anything," How were you not suggesting that when you said what you said above and is in bold? i plainly said i agree with everything you said, but have a question concerning something you said, that being, you said what is in bold above. Then i asked you if that is what they don't teach, because i do not know what they teach or what they do not teach, i asked you, but then you reply to me "I wasn't suggesting the RCC teaches or doesn't teach anything," as if you are upset that i asked you about it. It was not my intention to offend you in any way, i was merely asking you a question concerning something that you DID SAY.

^i^
I guess I should have reread my quote before answering huh? My bad, I was talking about the being reborn part, to the best of my knowledge they don't teach that. That was what I was thinking in the original comment when I said that. I've just had Catholics question me on that particular thing before, or tell me that it doesn't mean what I think it means in John 3:3. Anyway that was my bad for not rereading the comment you asked about, and I also want to point out this was a view I gained by talking to another person so I'm not 100% sure what the RCC "official teaching" about being born again is honestly.

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.

This is what Catholicism believes and teaches. Therefore Mather Teresa could not have received Salvation before she died because she was 100% Catholic.

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!

It sounds like you are the best poster boy for Catholicism DiscipleDave!

We CAN judge those who claim to be our Brothers in Christ DiscipleDave!

1 Corinthians 5:11-13
[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!

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.

1 Corinthians 5:11-13
[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.

You do know Dave that the Catholic Church adds WORKS to everything God says?

According to Catholicism Salvation is received by Faith and Grace AND Works. Catholicism also teaches one becomes Righteous AFTER they by their own Works make themselves Righteous. In other words once the Catholics have made themselves Righteous God then declares they are Righteous.

The Catholics has added their own Works in the Scriptures. This is what i believe is what Ken is trying to say.

Are there True Christians in the Catholic Church? I would say maybe. But the odds are against it because if a Catholic rejects what the Catholic Church says they are cast out of the Church. The Catholics believe if you are not a member in good standing in the Catholic Church you then cannot enter into Heaven.

No Catholic is going to take the chance of not entering into Heaven if they question what the Catholic Church teaches.

The Catholics do not have the same Bible we have. Their Bible have added books that are false. Also you do know Dave that the Catholics put their Unwritten Traditions above the Scriptures. The list of Authority on the Truth is the Pope first, the teachings of the Catholic Church second, then the Scriptures being at the very bottom and last on the list.

How can a Catholic who Worships Mary be our Sister or Brother in Jesus Christ? Do you not know Dave we are to have nothing to do with darkness?

Can you prove Dave that Mother Teresa never bowed down nor served Mary other then by your flapping lips?

Show us proof Dave that Mother Teresa rejected Mary.

You do know Dave that praying the Hail Mary is Idolatry? You do know Dave that praying the Rosary is Idolatry?

Galatians 5:19-21
[SUP]19 [/SUP] Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,
[SUP]20 [/SUP] idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,
[SUP]21 [/SUP] envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Those who practice Idolatry can never enter into Heaven Dave and this also applies to the Catholics.

Since most Catholics see nothing wrong with Praying to Mary, with bowing down to a statue of Mary, we can then conclude most Catholics follow Mary as their god.

Therefore its not that big of a leap to conclude from what we have seen and heard, that there is a very good chance that Mother Teresa did worship Mary as her god.

Just because one person, DiscipleDave, said she did not without any evidence to back it up does not mean she did not Worship Mary.

So DiscipleDave, just because a person points out the False Doctrines of the Catholic Church must mean that person is a Hater?

Have you EVER read what the CCC of the Catholic Church says?

Before you complain about the splinter in Ken's eye you first must remove the Log from your eye DiscipleDave.

Was Mother Theresa A True Christian?

This book examines the life and doctrine of Mother Teresa as evidence that she was not a born-again Christian or an “evangelical Catholic” by her own testimony. She believed in a false sacramental gospel and worshiped a false christ in the Catholic eucharist. The book features an interview with one of Mother Teresa’s co-workers in Kathmandu, Nepal.

Her own testimony will speak for itself.

But then we must realize most Catholics do not like what the Holy Spirit says in the Scriptures. Every Catholic i know rejects what God says in the Scriptures to follow what the Catholic Church teaches.

Just look at all the Doctrines about Mary since 1854 and how none of these Doctrines are supported by Scriptures.

You tell me Mike

As Christians why is it we seem to think God needs us to point out what we believe is wrong with literally everything we are not comfortable with?

It's the spirit of judgement and condemnation I disagree with

How many of the Christians condemning her would actually DO the works she did? Works don't save but neither does pointing out how perfect and right we all are and how sinful everyone else is

May God have mercy and open blind eyes

BTW. ..God is not ignorant of doctrinal errors

I rather think there are SAVED folks within Catholicism too

1Pe_4:16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

Maybe Sister Teresa knew what she was talking about, and Hepzibah is still on milk of the word.

^i^
DD it is one thing to choose a path of suffering for oneself and yet another to deny people relief for their suffering. How can anyone with any compassion at all watch others suffer out of your will and not theirs?

It has been said that medications were not allowed to be given to these people, but there are herbal remedies that relieve pain which could be given as food. If they had been giving these 'medicines' I am sure that the world would have known it. Where is the evidence that pain killers were not allowed?

She is said to have gone to an expensive clinic when she became ill so no consistency there.

Let us reason about Salvation ember.

Ephesians 2:8-9
[SUP]8 [/SUP] For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
[SUP]9 [/SUP] not of works, lest anyone should boast.

We receive Salvation by the Grace God has given us and by the Faith God has given to us. Also God clearly says we cannot WORK for our Salvation.

The Catholic Church teaches we receive Salvation by Grace, and Faith, and Good WORKS.

The problem is the Catholic Church does not say how many good works are needed for Salvation. Therefore no Catholic can ever know IF they are saved until they die.

This is why we believe there are no saved Catholics in the Catholic Church.

We point out the false Doctrines and the false teachings of the Catholic Church to warn people to stay away from the false Catholic Church.

Here is another reason the Catholic Church is a false Church.

969 "This motherhood of Mary in the order of grace continues uninterruptedly from the consent which she loyally gave at the Annunciation and which she sustained without wavering beneath the cross, until the eternal fulfillment of all the elect. Taken up to heaven she did not lay aside this saving office but by her manifold intercession continues to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation. . . . Therefore the Blessed Virgin is invoked in the Church under the titles of Advocate, Helper, Benefactress, andMediatrix."

Where in the Scriptures ember does God say Mary was assumed into Heaven? Where in the Scriptures ember does God say Mary Intercedes for us? Where in the Scriptures ember does God say Salvation is from Mary? Where in the Scriptures ember does God say Mary is our Mediator?

1 Timothy 2:5
[SUP]5 [/SUP] For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,

Prove me wrong ember! Show us where in the Scriptures God says Mary is our Mediator!

Clearly God says there is only one Mediator between us and God but yet the False Catholic Church teaches Mary is also our Mediator. So who is lying ember? God cannot lie ember! Therefore its the False Catholic Church that is lying.

Clearly ember the Catholic Church today HAS walked away from God to follow and Worship Mary as their god.

She's in her grave awaiting a resurrection from the dead...

Joh 5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
Joh 5:29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

*Re: Where Is Mother Teresa Now?

Let us reason about Salvation ember.

*****************************

Why? Is the fact that so many Christians enjoy hateful talk about others off limits?

Deal with it now or answer for it later

I understand salvation...I cant earn it...I can only accept it

I cant work for it

I cant boast or brag in it

It is the gift of God

For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; Ephesians 2:8

You seem to have a problem with Mary. Perhaps you should switch denominations. How are you even remotely qualified to speak for most Catholics? Yes, you are definitely bashing Mother Teresa. Who, in your estimation is a True Christian?

How can Mother Teresa be a True Christian when we know the Catholics see nothing wrong with Praying to Mary? Do the Catholics not know that what you pray to IS your god?

We True Christians pray ONLY to God! We do not, can not, and NEVER ever pray to Mary!

A True Christian is one who WORSHIPS ONLY God! We do know for a fact that Pope John Paul II bowed down to statues of Mary and Prayed to Mary. Therefore Pope John Paul II was NEVER a True Christian.

Live with it tourist! Your Pope was a non believer.

So tell me ember, do you ever pray the Rosary?

Because if you do you are praying to Mary as your god.

So its spiting venom when we show the world the lies of the Catholic Church?

Actually ember its the Catholics who are spitting venom when they declare Mary to be our mediator.

Its amazing how you Catholics are so full of hate for the Scriptures from God.

Repent ember, reject Mary, accept Jesus as your ONLY Lord and Savior before its too late and you spend eternity in the Lake of fire with Pope John Paul II.
