Mother Teresa, a Biblical regenerate Christian?

The point of this thread was not so much to tell the world about someone whos going to hell, but I used her as an example, mostly because the world, and many professing Christians think so highly of her.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, and we'll assume, for the time being, that Teresa's faith was according to the truth of scriptures and all those quotes were wrong...

Hypothetically, lets put Jane doe in the same scenario. She spent her life in service to the poor, sick and needy. But she also was teaching (and believed) that Jesus was not the only way to heaven. As in..

...She says that her purpose is to bring her patients closer to the "God" in whom they already believe; so that a Hindu becomes a better Hindu, a Buddhist a better Buddhist, etc. (Vatican II says those of all religions are somehow saved through the Church.) She tells how to witness for Jesus: In an interview with a nun who works with "Mother" Jane Doe (reported in Christian News ), dying Hindus were instructed to pray to their own Hindu gods!:

"These people are waiting to die. What are you telling them to prepare them for death and eternity? She replied candidly, 'We tell them to pray to their Bhagwan, to their gods.'"

Is this another Jesus, and another Gospel?

According to scripture, it is. Which in turn makes all the good works worthless. All the people whos sores were bandaged, and who were given food and water, where did all that get them? They died praying to their Hindu idols, which means that they are lost for eternity, now waiting for judgement. That is certainly not a good thing. They would have been better off starving with the truth, then being comforted in lies.

But that very section of the article was what I questioned-- there are no references given. The author simply says that "Vatican II said" this when, in fact, I don't think one would find that Vatican II said such a thing. It is a gross misunderstanding of counciliar documents, and I would await a reference for that remark. Furthermore, Bl. Mother Teresa's "quote" from "Christian News" isn't properly referenced either. Nor are we aware of the proper context in which such a thing might have been said.

I await evidence before beginning to condemn the actions of another.
 
I know many of you don't think that Catholics are saved. So is anyone who believes that Catholics are saved going to hell? Is Billy Graham going to go to hell for saying that JP II was the greatest spirtual leader he had ever met? According to you guys JP II believes in a gospel of works salvation so it would seem that by the logic on this thread Billy G. is going to hell. :-D
 
Gee. O hope my post didn't kill this thread. Can anyone answer my question.

By the way, how do you think the pharasees felt when Jesus held the Good Samaritan up as an example of Godly behavior, saying "go and do likewise". Do you know who the Samaritans were? They were not Jews. They did not believe in One God. They were a product of the northern Captivity by Assyria. The Jews intermarried with the Assyrians. These people held that the God of Israel existed but that he was one of many God's. I.e. they were still pagans. Yet Jesus held this "pagan" up as a righteous example for the Apostles.

Still waiting for an answer. Do you suppose that when those three wise men from the east, who were not Christians or Jews, were being led by the spirit of God or the spirit of the devil? There are only two choices in this world.

There are only two choices in this world. How about Cornelius? Did he have a relationship with God BEFORE Peter came to him with the Gospel? Or Job. Did you know he was a gentile, not a Jew? The Jews most certainly thought all gentiles were among the damned.

This is typical Catholic Bla Bla Bla. I told you we were now talking about Jane Doe. No need to defend Teresa. But you still won't answer the questions. The whole time you never intended to answer them. This is Catholicism, the spin never stops.
 
It doesn't matter, Dave..., if it's Jane Doe or my neighbor down the street... unsubstantiated claims are still just that: unsubstantiated. Lack of proper reference is lack of proper reference, etc. Thus, I cannot say one way or the other without having the proper reference and proper context with which to make such a grave judgment.

There is no other Jesus, there is, and can only be one Jesus the Christ. "Seeing" Jesus in other people is another matter however...
 
Right

Amen - if Mother Theresa was trusting in what Rome believes about salvation then unfortunately she is in hell today.

If any of you are trusting anything besides what Christ did at Calvary (his death, burial and resurrection) then you are going to hell also.

Dn't get mad at me and say I'm judging you - go shake your unholy fists and gnash your teeth at God.

I"ve searched all over the internet and can't find any substantiated evidence for this quote. Protestants like to use it but none can prove it. Of course this misquote and take things out of context when the information can be verified and you verify it and prove the context and they will eiher just slide on to the next topic not admitting they are wrong or they will tell you how they know better than Catholics what Catholicism teaches.

AV,

I beleive it was you on another thread who said that those who do not beleive in OSAS are going to hell. Lost as a goose in a snowstorm I believe is how you put it. Now the difficulty in this thread is we have Mother Teresa who proclaimed the name of Jesus, yet some would question her theology about others and by it would say that she was going to hell as well. So my question to you is, does anyone who think OSAS is true, but that you can believe otherwise, have salvation?

Is Billy Graham, who said that JPII was the greatest spiritual leader he had ever met saved?
 
Is it only the Protestants who can ask questions and demand answers? Why are my posts not answered? They are pertinent to the topic at hand.

Blessings
