Catholics Found Out

[Jedi Knight]

How many thousands of lepers have you washed with your own hands? How many thousands of starving have you fed? How many thousands of sick and forlorn who were left to die in the streets of Calcutta have you picked up and nursed back to health? What did Christ say?

Can a unregenerant person do "good things" and get in to Heaven? You cannot enter the kingdom unless your born again. This is where the natural mind cannot grasp as Nicodemus didn't get it eather.....even though he was a "Very Religious" person. John chapter 3

How many thousands of lepers have you washed with your own hands?

Not a one.

How many thousands of starving have you fed?

I could tell you, but that would violate the spirit if Jesus' admonition to not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.

How many thousands of sick and forlorn who were left to die in the streets of Calcutta have you picked up and nursed back to health?

Never been there.

What did Christ say? What you do to the least of me you do unto me.

Yep.

Who is the real Christian here - you DHK, or Mother Teresa?

My money is on DHK because all you can say about Theresa is that she did a lot of good works. Works don't save you. Works don't make you a Christian. Nor do works make you a better Christian than anyone else.

Neither your flag decal nor your good works will get you into Heaven.

Do you really think that pagans don't do good works every day? Theresa may have done a lot of good works, just like many other pagans, but her understanding of the Gospel was attrocious.

All of Theresa's works put together are still filthy rags.

Really DHK - such vainglory!

...says the person who believes we are saved by our own righteousness.

It's like bribing a judge: "Well, sure, Your Honor, I raped all of those women, but I washed and waxed your car!"

Only in this case it's "Well, sure, Jesus, I transgressed your laws every day of my life and rebeled against You, but just look at all of the poor people I helped. Just think of all of the Hindus I helped to be better Hindus!"

By what logic can anyone claim that St T was NOT regenerate?

This is what Christ said.

Matthew 23:24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
Matthew 23:28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

This is what Christ commanded:
Mark 10:21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

--Notice: He did not command: "Be as Mother Thereasa." According to Mother Theresa's own standard's she wasn't a Christian. It is folks like her that will stand before Christ and Christ will say: "Depart from ye into everlasting fire, for I never knew you."
This is the ultimate proof that works do not save. "Knowing Christ" saves, not doing works. If you don't know him as your Savior you cannot be saved; works have nothing to do with it. Jesus will say: "I never knew you. Do you have a personal relationship with Him? Have you trusted him as your personal Savior?

What you do to the least of me you do unto me. Who is the real Christian here - you DHK, or Mother Teresa? I think we all know the answer to that.

Do you want an honest or truthful answer?
Mother Theresa believed salvation was by works. She believed there was more than one way to heaven. One who believes in that kind of theology is not saved. Thus "mother Theresa" is not a "saint," as that title is Biblically reserved only for the saved, those who have trusted Christ as Savior. Read the epistles. In almost every epistle Paul addresses it to the saints in any given place that he is writing.

Romans 1:7 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 1:2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:
2 Corinthians 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:
Ephesians 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
Philippians 1:1 Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:

Saint means "set apart," "holy," "sanctified,"
Since I have been saved, justified by faith alone, in Christ alone, I am a saint. If you wish you can call me Saint DHK. But I would never call Mother Theresa a saint.

If you are going to live a life of works, study hard Mark 10:21, and tell me when you fulfill all its conditions. That is what Jesus expected that young man to do. Don't you think he would expect the same of you?

Works don't save; Christ does.
Being a good Muslim doesn't get one to heaven; only Christ can do that.

 

[JohnDeereFan]

By what logic can anyone claim that St T was NOT regenerate?

By her doctrine, the false gospel that she preached, her membership in a wicked and Ungodly cult, and her own words as revealed in her books and speeches.

 

[Alive in Christ]

"Why would they refuse to honor Mother Theresa, one of the greatest women of the 20th century?

As for that honor I'll let the secularists debate that one.

But regarding Mother Theresa, from a christian point of view, the saddest part is that it is highly doubtfull that she was ever a christian. A saved child of God.

I sure hope that she maybe came to her senses and was born of the Spirit on her death bed.

 

[Alive in Christ]

Someone once asked Mother Theresa if she made many converts.

She said something like this:

Oh, if I can help a Catholic to be a better Catholic, or a Hindu to be a better Hindu, or a Muslim a better Muslim, than I have made a "convert".

No christian...NO christian can possibly make such a blasphemous statement as that.

 

[Alive in Christ]

Here is some more documentation regarding the blasphemous beliefs of Mother Theresa....

"(a) "The dying, the crippled, the mentally ill, the unwanted, the unloved -- they are Jesus in disguise. ... [through the] poor people I have an opportunity to be 24 hours a day with Jesus."

[On another occasion, she again demonstrated her pantheistic religious philosophy: "Every AIDS victim is Jesus in a pitiful disguise; Jesus is in everyone.. ... [AIDS sufferers are] children of God [who] have been created for greater things" (1/13/86, Time).]
(b) "You must make them feel loved and wanted. They are Jesus for me."
(c) "I love all religions. ... If people become better Hindus, better Muslims, better Buddhists by our acts of love, then there is something else growing there."

[On another occasion, she again demonstrated her false gospel that 'there are many ways to God': "All is God -- Buddhists, Hindus, Christians, etc., all have access to the same God."]


- In her book, Life in the Spirit: Reflections, Meditations, and Prayers, "Mother" Teresa says on pp. 81-82:


"We never try to convert those who receive [aid from Missionaries of Charity] to Christianity but in our work we bear witness to the love of God's presence and if Catholics, Protestants, Buddhists, or agnostics become for this better men -- simply better -- we will be satisfied. It matters to the individual what church he belongs to. If that individual thinks and believes that this is the only way to God for her or him, this is the way God comes into their life -- his life. If he does not know any other way and if he has no doubt so that he does not need to search then this is his way to salvation."


But Jesus Christ clearly stated, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. NNE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME" (Jn. 14:6). "Mother" Teresa could not have preached a clearer false gospel than that quoted above.

- It should be clear that "Mother" Teresa was anything but an Evangelical Christian. She was a self-sacrificing woman who followed a false religion. Consider some quotes from her speech at the 10/84 Worldwide Retreat for Priests:

(a) "At the word of a priest, that little piece of bread becomes the body of Christ, the Bread of Life."

(b) "Without a priest, without Jesus going with them, our sisters couldn't go anywhere."

(c) "When the priest is there, then can we have our altar and our tabernacle and our Jesus. Only the priest put Jesus there for us. ... Jesus wants to go there, but we cannot bring him unless you first give him to us. This is why I love priests so much. We could never be what we are and do the things we do without you priests who first bring Jesus to us."

(d) "Mary ... is our patroness and our Mother, and she is always leading us to Jesus."

These are doctrines of demons.
