That says it all! Actually that is all we can say about any deceased person. From a human viewpoint I think she was a very good person who touched the lives of many for the better. She left the world in a better state than when she entered it and was an example to us all.
I don't know if this is right, but according to this person, she was a crook

John 5:24 . . Amen, amen, I say to you: whoever hears my word, and
believes in the one who sent me, has eternal life and will not come to
condemnation, but has passed from death to life.

Heb 11:6 . .Without faith it is impossible to please Him, for anyone who
approaches God must believe that He exists

According to Teresa's private letters; written to spiritual counselors during
her five decades in India, she was never really sure there's a God out there.

Teresa's deplorable spiritual condition is shocking, and very difficult to
believe, but it's a matter of public record now in a book called:

Mother Teresa / Come Be My Light
The Private Writings of the "Saint of Calcutta"

Edited with commentary by Brian Kolodiejchuk, M.C.
ISBN 978-0-385-52037-9

Father Kolodiejchuk is not one of Teresa's enemies. When the book was
published, he was director of the Mother Teresa Center and a postulator for
her sainthood.

In practice Teresa was an agnostic; which can be defined as a person who
does not have a definite belief about whether God exists or not.

Well; according to John 5:24 and Heb 11:6, agnostics should prepare
themselves for the worst when they cross over to the other side. I've no
doubt Rome's theologians know this but went ahead and canonized
her anyway.

She is dead and sleeps waiting for the resurrection. Which resurrection is up to God, the first to eternal life or the second to damnation. Either way she will stand before Jesus and made to bow the knee and accept her fate as will we all, without exception.

It does not matter if Mother Teresa had her doubts. What matters is Mother Teresa did Worship Mary as her lord and savior. Mary was her God, just as Mary is the God of all the Catholics.

Can a person serve two Gods? NO! we cannot say we follow Jesus as our Lord and Savior AND at the same time Worship Mary as our God.

God has said we cannot serve two Masters.

Mother Teresa is dead in the Grave. She will face Jesus and she will be judged. Unfortunately she will spend Eternity in the Lake of Fire.

Such a waste of life. She should have chosen to follow Jesus instead of Mary. Such a waste.

It's not your decision on who goes to Heaven or Hell. It's wrong to say these thing's, it's up to God not any of us.

Heb 11:6 . .Without faith it is impossible to please Him, for anyone who
approaches God must believe that He exists

The word "must" indicates an essential requirement.

The word "impossible" indicates something that simply cannot be done; viz:
there's no way around it.

Seeing as how Teresa was never really convinced there's a God out there,
then nothing she did during the whole fifty years abroad as a missionary
pleased God; viz: as a spiritual journey, none of it counted.

Teresa complained of being abandoned by Christ and referred to him as "the
absent one". She also complained that "the place of God in my soul is blank
-- there is no God in me" and "I am told God loves me; and yet the reality of
darkness & coldness & emptiness is so great that nothing touches my soul."

That right there tells me Teresa was grossly insubordinate.

John 14:18 . . I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.

John 14:23 . . Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will
love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him.

although mother theresa had numerous 'atheistic' ponderings...she is also quoted as asking God to have mercy on her and forgive her for her doubts...

that suggests to me that God was her spiritual refuge even if she could not -intellectually- accept his existence...

so the heart of this question is really the issue of the difference between intellectual assent and spiritual faith...which some christians unfortunately cannot get past seeing as the same thing...

in any case nobody can known the state of mother theresa's soul at her death so nobody can know for sure where she went when she died...

Here's the wording of that prayer as quoted from Teresa' private letters.

"If there be God . . please forgive me."

Note her words "if there be God". According to Jas 1:6-8, people who pray
as if there may or may not be a God out there should not expect to be
heard.

Heb 11:6 . . anyone who approaches God must believe that He exists

The word "must" indicates an essential requirement.

I'm disappointed. By this time, this thread should have had LOADS more Catholic Church hate being spewed forth. Is everyone taking the weekend off? I've come to expect a certain level of behavior from the membership here depending on topic, and I'm just not seeing it.

Tupac is NOT dead. Elvis and MJ are dead as fried chicken, but Pac is alive and kicking it in Cuba.

Just because the letters say if, doesn't mean we know what was in her heart. Unless you can read minds then you don't know what anyone else is thinking or feeling. To me this is what is scary about trusting and love, we can't read each other's thoughts, so you can't truly know what someone else is feeling or thinking. Only God knows how true or false someone is.

Violent people are not allowed to identify themselves with God.

Matt 5:9 . . Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God./
Who says they're not allowed? Since when (past elementary school) is "allowed" even a thing?

Deuteronomy 32:35 "It is mine to avenge; I will repay."

Matthew 10:34 "For I did not come to bring peace, but a sword."

4John 2:15 So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple area, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.

Revelation 19:15 Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations.

Methinks your reasoning regarding violence needs a review. :)

People's words are not taken lightly in heaven.

Matt 12:35-37 . . I say to you: that every careless word that men shall speak, they
shall render account for it in the day of judgment. For by your words you shall be
justified, and by your words you shall be condemned.

BTW: Your comment insinuates that Teresa was a person of marginal integrity who could not
be trusted to tell the truth about herself.

Where is the love in this?
Without love, we are as a clanging symbal :(

Absolutely!! To do otherwise is to be playing God.
To me the Christian response is to "leave her in the hands of a loving God"

Re: Where Is Mother Teresa Now?
According to Catholicism and their necromancy doctrines as to where she is now. She is now officially by the Pope being expedited (passing up purgatory) as probably one of the quickest to be announced as one given the status of a saint and therefore whenever one picks up an image idol(teraphim) of her, she is right there at a persons finger tips reigning with Christ as a disembodied worker with a familiar spirit called the legion, making it 3500 and rising, picking up patron saint speed as the time draws nearer to the last day.

Umm...she's dead? Seems like the only answer to her status we can be sure of. All else is speculation.
A 100% true answer is "not on earth" lol well technically her bones but her spirit is not on earth hehehe... :)
