Thread: Where Is Mother Teresa Now?

-
● 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 reality 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.

He did.

But people highlight Mother Teresa to us as an example of what we can be as Christians probably just based on her being a Catholic Nun working with people in another land.

We've Catholic nuns and priests in the family and extended family and sorry, that doesn't make you a Christian, and that's just for starters.

Haven't looked hard enough to know where she stood, but highlighting someone as Christian if they aren't is not a good way of advancing the Gospel.

Also posted in another forum.

Just to chuck fuel on the fire, though at least she was anti abortion.

Hey Webers I was just thinking about you today, its been a while since you've been around, everything OK?

BTW, this thread might interest you, FFOz's post made me think of your Hell's Population Clock thread:

I'm far from Catholic, but I believe she's in heaven. I agree that she may have suffered from depression.

She is having fun in the great penny arcade in the sky

No one can say with certainty where she is at this time. She clearly had her doubts, and as Bookman said, she may have suffered from depression. But at least she followed Christ's teachings. Many people who claim faith in Christ do not.

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.
