Diagnosing Mother Teresa

what is the point of diagnosing a person ?I don't really understand.

hello there Garee .The question is ,can one be catholic and saved?I think there are people who are catholic and saved

.



John Q and Jane Doe pew warmer probably won't benefit much from this
thread; nor will Teresa's admirers. However, for Christians seriously
considering becoming missionaries, the Bible study that I'm in process of
conducting will prove invaluable.

But in order to get the most out of this, it's necessary to start right from
the beginning and bring one's self up to speed. When people skip a thread's
OP they typically always end up with the wrong impression; and from thence
make a nuisance of themselves with irrelevant comments and impious
quarrelling.

what is the point of diagnosing a person ?I don't really understand .I think she was a good woman ,and had a good heart and loved God .She had her fears and unbelief at times as we all do at certain times which shows we are humans in flesh and we have our issues .No one is perfect .She dedicated her life to a bigger cause which most people don't do
Her parents were albanians so there is one more reason for me to like her .I hope that she is with Jesus now .

It says in the bible that faith without works is a dead faith.

Works without faith are dead works.

● Heb 6:1 . .Therefore, let us leave behind the basic teaching about Christ and
advance to maturity, without laying the foundation all over again:
repentance from dead works and faith in God.

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

Finally, we are in agreement on something.

She most assuredly is with Jesus right now.

It says in the bible that faith without works is a dead faith. Based on her lifetime of work with the least of the brothers or sisters of the Lord I would have to say that her faith was great. It far exceeds mine, that's for sure.

Her humble service to the Lord with love in her heart was exemplary and worth emulating. She tirelessly accomplished the work that her Heavenly Father had prepared for her beforehand. This was done by God's grace and at a great cost to herself.

She was an outstanding example of what being a Christian is all about.

Matthew 25:31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. 33 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’

It is sad that after all she did to heal the sick, clothe the naked, feed the hungry, give water to the thirsty, and visit those imprisoned, people feel a need to tear her down by exposing her innermost thoughts in times of despair and weakness.

I may not have time to jump back in here later, so I'll just wrap up all my thoughts and be done.

Mother Theresa - The Issues

1. I think it lacks prudence for ANY of us to defend ANYONE we don't really know that much about.

2. I'm going to recommend that my Catholic friends rethink this, and really slow down... instead of just having a knee jerk reaction.

3. It also lacks grace to tear into everyone in a denomination over one prominent person we feel is fraudulent.
a. I don't agree with many Catholic doctrines either.
b. I think there are some grave issues with their leadership, and with some of their beliefs... I'm no fan of the RCC.
c. However... it's simply ungracious, and even illogical, to smear everyone over the faults of one person.

4. So, I'm going to recommend that my Catholic friends really rethink things here... as a friend, I'm telling you... this whole thing about Mother Theresa, this just isn't a debate you're going to win... so lets all just be friends, calm down, and rethink things.
a. Mother Theresa was simply NOT what the Roman Catholic PR machine was claiming.
b. We can prove and verify this.
c. There is clear empirical evidence... it can all be verified.
d. It's not a debate you can win.
e. She had no desire to heal the lepers, or relieve their suffering; she was quite happy they were miserable and suffering... she says this in her own words. She was NOT trying to get them treatment, or even pain relief... she was doing NOTHING for them. Personally, I don't believe she was "saved".... but that's just my personal opinion.
f. So, to reiterate, there is empirical evidence for all of this... it's not a debate you can win.
g. If you cannot win the debate, then I see no reason to debate... just go look things up for yourself... I'm not mad at anyone.

5. I'm also going to recommend that my protestant friends remain gracious here.
a. We can disagree with the Catholic Church, or it's leadership, and still be kind toward our Catholic friends.
b. Example: Tourist knows full well we disagree on some doctrinal things, and we get along just fine. We're gracious toward each other. And whatever Mother Theresa was, or was not, he and I can still remain friends, and I'll still treat him respectfully.

6. The Real Lesson:
We should ALL be very careful of holding people up too highly, and we should ALL be willing to examine those who are held up.
a. This is a good rule, and it goes for everyone.
b. We are ALL probably victims to PR campaigns regarding one person or another... we live in a world FILLED with deception... deception makes money.
c. So, let's ALL rethink the people we hold up too highly. Let's all be very wary of this.
d. There is only person we can really be confident in lifting up.... Jesus.

People can serve God just by doing their humble best in the place that God has placed them using the tools and resources that He has provided. There are many ways to serve the Lord besides being a pastor or a missionary. I feel sorry for those that feel that the only way that they can serve God is to lead a church or travel to foreign lands. Regarding being a missionary, you can do this in the area where you currently live ministering to those that God has brought your way.

I read from some article about motherteresa

She make a Lot of money for vatican. Only little for her hospital. A Lot of witneses from Australia, usa etc that work volunter to her hospital, what realy happen there.

She not give pain killer to her patient, and say, when you in pain, mean Jesus kiss you. One of the patient yel and Said, ask Jesus stop kiss me.

When she have hearth problem, she went to the luxury hospital in new York, why not stay there and let Jesus kiss her?

Instead of alkohol, she use water to wash syringe, where all the do nation money goes?

Quote

former sister put the annual figures of the organisation’s income at around $50 million in New York alone, but there is little evidence of any expenditures. Locally, services largely rely on donations and the appalling state of care in Mother Teresa’s time makes it clear that very little money makes it back to those they are helping, and new missions set up across the world are expected to become self-sufficient. Her charity received money from known-fraudsters, and when they were convicted in a criminal court, she tried to use her large personal influence to change the outcome of the trial. Sources suggest that the majority of money she received was sent straight to the Vatican bank; an institution few will believe in more dire need of assistance than India’s most vulnerable citizens.
