The teaching of the bible on the Antichrist is no Joke and should not be taken lightly.He is real . His teaching's that reject trust in Jesus as the only way to be saved destroyed even Mother Terisas faith . Every Christian needs to read her book. and more importantly romans chapter 4this lady who will be dubbed by the catholic church as the patron saint of skeptics.tells how her works of charity even this proved worthless to her and how she lost her faith even that God existed .she never had the assurance of a heaven all ready won for her by the perfect life of Jesus for her and him dying for her sin's winning her forgivness and heaven.Because papal teaching curses that and the only way one can be saved.and that is faith in Jesus his perfect merits in our sinful stead .

That woman is apparently still lost in her sins, if she's alive. If she's not then we know where she is, and it's not heaven.

Wow! We can judge Mother Teresa to be in Hell!!!!! What a novell idea. Anyone else we know is going to Hell?Expressing doubts is hardly evidence of one's lack of faith. The Church released it precisely to show saints as human. Humans have doubts and question God in troubled moments. BTW we already have Saints for doubters and lost causes (Joseph and Jude).

no we cant judge her soul but we can be very sad for her because of her statements . because her statemnts are not compatable with assurance of salvation that Jesus lived the perfect life she could not and died for her sin's winning her heaven to; and Our Heavenly Father raising Jesus from the dead proving that Jesus his justfing work was true for her to.But her statements did not show trust in the above; trust in Jesus .We do Hope her statments and her faith were inconcictent with each other.your right only God sees the heart. only he can judge the soul.Gods blessings

we certainly do not know for sure .but one thing we can say she certainly was robbed of the knowledge of assurance in Jesus by what she was taught.And that would be a hell right here on earth . and her book displays that pain she had.How wonderful assurance is in Jesus .PRAISE God and enjoy this wonderful hymn. http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/b/l/e/blesseda.htm

The woman is a church. And this church is a blasphemous church. Enough said.

blasphemy - "any word of malediction, reproach, or contumely pronounced against God: It is to be noted that according to the definition (1) blasphemy is set down as a word, for ordinarily it is expressed in speech, though it may be committed in thought or in act. Being primarily a sin of the tongue, it will be seen to be opposed directly to the religious act of praising God. (2) It is said to be against God, though this may be only mediately, as when the contumelious word is spoken of the saints or of sacred things, because of the relationship they sustain to God and His service. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/02595a.htmOr wikiBlasphemy is disrespectful use of the name of one or more Goddess / God. It may include using sacred names as stress expletives without intention to pray or speak of sacred matters; it is also sometimes defined as language expressing disapproved beliefs, or disbelief.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blasphemy#Bla...in_ChristianityGuess I missed where Mother Teresa did blasphemy. With all the good she did in this world and the good people continuing her work, would think it hard for anyone to see her as serving a different Master.
