Humm, the square mile footprint of the New Jerusalem = less than 2M.
The square mile footprint of the USA is about 3.797M
All the saints who ever lived on the entire Earth for thousands and thousands of years are going to be crammed into an area about 5/8 of the size of America?


The land mass of the world is about 57.5 M. What a waste of the rest of the new Earth.

There should be a difference between man's building and what God has built. Indeed, it is written that our minds cannot comprehend what awaits us in Heaven, let alone how New Jerusalem will come down from Heaven as God's tabernacle shall dwell with men. Does that mean that the place New Jerusalem as coming from above is no longer there but on earth or is it somehow connected from earth just as the earth is to New Jerusalem?

As for the rest of the earth; that is for the vessels unto dishonor that will be resurrected after the great tribulation. Indeed, there will no longer be any sea for why room is necessary for the coming generations out of the millennium reign of Christ.

That is how you have vessels unto honor in His House; of gold and silver; hence a celestial inheritance; and vessels unto dishonor; of earth and wood; hence a glorified terrestrial inheritance as both are in His House where even those lost sheep, the former believers, shall inherit.

2 Timothy 2:18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some. 19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.

By looking to Him for help as their Good shepherd to lay aside every weight & sin, by repenting; they purge themselves by Him so they can be received by Him as the Bridegroom as vessels unto honor in His House.

You pick and choose errors of post enlightenment cults, blend them up to make your own church of one, deny the resurrection of the dead, throw poop on one of the greatest saints of this century, then qualify yourself to ask this question. You haven't the first clue of what the gospel is. I'll give you one clue:
"Whatever you do for the least of mine, that you do to Me"
Rollo, you may have seen this 1000 times, but evidently you don't understand it. It's in the gospels. The gospel St.M.Teresa preached with her life, the gospel you don't seem to be familiar with.

✦ In 1946, Mother Teresa received a divine message, possibly an intuition, after which she decided to devote her life to the betterment of society. In 1948, she started working with the poor. She soon became an Indian citizen and toured to different parts of India to uplift the downtrodden.

✦ In 1950, she was granted permission to establish the diocesan congregation, which would work for those, whom she described as "the hungry, the naked, the homeless, the crippled, the blind, the lepers and all those people who feel unwanted, unloved, uncared for throughout society, people that have become a burden to the society and are shunned by everyone". The congregation extended far and came to be known as the 'Missionaries of Charity', one of the very big organizations with centers all around the world.

✦ In 1952, she founded the first Home for the Dying in India. Later, she converted an unused Hindu temple into the Kalighat Home for the Dying. People from all religions were accepted into Kalighat, where they would receive medical attention and care. She soon opened a home for lepers in Shanti Nagar. In 1955, Mother Teresa went on to open the Nirmala Shishu Bhavan, a home for the orphaned and homeless children.

✦ The Missionaries of Charity established by Mother Teresa grew to reach different parts of India. It opened several orphanages and leper houses across India, and later, in different parts of the world. The first house of the Missionaries of Charity that was established outside India was the one in Venezuela, which was opened in 1965. By 2007, the Missionaries of Charity had established 600 missions, schools, and homes in 120 nations and had thousands of nuns working for it.

✦ In 1962, Mother Teresa was awarded the Padma Shri, followed by the Jawaharlal Nehru Award for International Understanding in 1972 and the Bharat Ratna in 1980.

✦ She was honored with the Philippines-based Ramon Magsaysay Award for International Understanding in 1962.

✦ In 1971, she received the Pope John XXIII Peace Prize from Pope Paul VI.

✦ She was honored with the Pacem in Terris Award in 1976.

✦ For her struggle to overcome poverty and remove the sorrow and suffering from society, Mother Teresa was awarded the Noble Peace Prize. She selflessly donated an amount of $192,000 to India to be used for the uplifting of the poor in the country. According to her, rewards were important only if they would help her work for the helpless.

✦ 18 times during her life, the yearly Gallup's most admired man and woman poll named her as one of the ten women around the world that Americans admired most.

✦ In 1999, she topped the Gallup's List of Most Widely Admired People of the 20th Century.

✦ She was beatified in 2003. On beatification, she earned the title blessed, and came to be known as the Blessed Teresa of Calcutta.

✦ October 19, observed as Mother Teresa Day, is a public holiday in Albania.

✦ Memorial House of Mother Teresa was opened in 2009 in Skopje, Macedonia.

✦ Many universities and educational institutes in India have been named after her.

✦ On August 26, 2010, Indian Railways launched a train called "Mother Express" to commemorate her.

✦ In 2013, the United Nations General Assembly declared September 5 as the International Day of Charity to honor Mother Teresa.

Mother Teresa left for heavenly abode on September 5, 1997. She has always proved to be an epitome of humanity and continues to be admired by people the world over.

There are very few people here that take you seriously, Rolo. Grow up.

the words above Not all of us can do great things, but we can do small things with great love. such can be Satanic, even a atheist would believe that crap, not to mention that such has nothing to do with Jesus or God at all.

Mention her name and all the Atheist love her, as does any idiot.

But did she bring anyone to Jesus Christ ? I don't think so.

What she was doing was worldly works.

Is she a Saint no not at all.

Is Pope JP2 a Saint, no not I don't think so, did he increase the flock to Jesus, no he resided under it's fall.

Yes the worldly truly loved her, she never preached Jesus but did worldly works and idiots want to claim her a Saint.

The Church is all about Jesus Christ and nothing but first and foremost. it's all about the Holy Spirit first and foremost, because that's the wellspring. worldly works do not cut it and never did and never will.
Boy idolising the worldly is in vane, as any idiot can do that, even with all there stupid gods.

My dad did more to help people in his life time and gave $17 million of his money away that help others but he is not a Saint because he did not preach Jesus, just like many who are lukewarm.

One must be on fire for Jesus Christ to be a Saint, I have never known of a lukewarm Saint !
I know of many lukewarm Priest.
It's not what you do or have done, it's what you are that counts.

Wow. Just wow....
Such things have nothing to do with Christ Jesus at all, they can be done by anyone, it does not mean what you may think it means you know. it's worldly works she is on about. it's ego driven and that's why the Satanist love her and you don't see them bagging her and the same is said of Pope Frances the Satanist love him.

I am not bagging her for what she does, but if it's not in the Name of Jesus Christ and that is when I can have a problem with it and it's because you can not mix the two things up.
I don't care what people do on their own merit, but if it's to be claim to do with Jesus, when it's truly not then one must speak out.

I go about talking to people I know who are devout atheist who hate Jesus totally and they say how they love Pope Frances, you do not hear the media bagging Pope Frances do you but they bagged Pope Ben and John Paul II 24/7 all they could.

I was talking to an old catholic fool last week end and I informed him what I think of Pope Frances, the Devil himself could be the Pope and he was sadly to shallow to see it.
It's not about good works of man, because such works do not need Jesus Christ nor are they under Grace, so even a Atheist or Idol worshiper can do such works just as well.

LOOK AT ME LOOK WHAT I DID ! type of BS, such does not cut it in the eyes of God and no Saint ever boasted or did the works of Man too honour himself or Man. but to God in the Light of Jesus Christ.
A good person just does not cut it, Good teacher one asked Jesus, why do you call me good, Jesus said ? how can a carnal person know what is truly good, it is not given to him to know.

What a fools or a idiot thinks is good ? I know of many such that they think is good is in fact degenerate or evil and if it's not that, then it's deranged in some way, but if it's good well good on you ! fine but the complement is not coming from God.

Now one points the Lord Jesus gave me this talent praise be too God and one is putting it to work in Gods Name all that they do, he is doing the work of God, regardless what one may think it measures up to.
Oh we see this charade carried out on TV and all the song and dance about it all, but you know what many a Mum beats all that by a country mile.
I am sick of the idolising of Media playing games with the people.
If you do not abide in Christ Jesus you can't cut it, end of story.

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for your selves.

For my yoke is easy, and my burden light."
That's correct and learn from him, it's not of yourselves that you do such things.
Jesus was doing the work of the God the Father, never mans works.
Mans works becomes a burden and just snowballs in the end to only weigh down on one.
Christ Jesus is the easy one or path that will become as so, because it's not clouded with mans BS that only bogs all down, if you are looking to man for glory such will not cut it.
As for being a easy path it's not a free ride but a it's like Sheppard or wise console guidance you take heed to only, and do not stray for the foolishness of the crowed.
The crowd do not consist of the wise but are mainly of just a mob mentality of simple minded fools.
Remember Jesus had to carry the Cross among such fools, not to mention who he was doing it for, he was doing it for them not himself.

If only people would understand that Jesus was doing such for you all, so that you would have life abundantly and this is the Holy Spirit guiding you. not idolising mans works.

Look at all that rubbish, Not one mention of Jesus Christ or who did she convert to Jesus Christ to be born again ?
It's all a gory to man as even a atheist can swallow all that and idolise such but can they understand that to be born again is due to the power of the Holy Spirit.

The next thing will be that such people will elevate Adolph Hitler as a Saint as well for his works, he created the State of Israel and the fact is it would never of been created if it was not for him and that's a fact, or that he saved Germany from the 200% inflation and all the misery that cause the people and turned a nation around and got all into work and powered the economy on that well that England could see that it's economic power in Europe was finished if it did not start the war, Hitler did great things for wild life was way ahead of his time in such as well, that most of the world now follow most of what he was doing, he was a great Socialist but as all true Christians know that all Socialist are never Christians at all, because there power comes from mans works, it's a ego driven thing and that's why we have total acceptance of abortions nowadays taking place and people are proud of such madness and if one comes out against such you are the monster now, oh yes it's true and if one can leave a perfect 8 month old baby to die what next ?

I was at a gathering last Sunday, where the Government of this State is on the path of going down the 9 month abortion to become just like a walk in the park, 3 States have it already.
And where is our Churches on all this, running away in fear or supporting such Satanic crap and not to mention embracing Sodomy and also embracing Islam as the Same God.

Boy ! no wonder it can take a mob of fools only a few years to turn totally around from what they once believed and to support what they rejected only years before.
But you can not do such with truly born again Christians, because they are not blinded by mans works.

Another brainwashing thing that has come about in the last few years is this crap of claiming Judaic Christianity is spun now, there is no such thing ! Jews are Anti-Christ and if they were not Anti-Christ they would become Christians in fact. they reject everything to do with Jesus in fact outright. fact is anyone who embraces a Anti-Christ is of Satan. you can not have two masters, such are going to hell.

So what I am saying is do not embrace anything that goes against Jesus Christ, because all such nonsense is just truly worthless crap that only fools swallow and such will only bring about hellfire.
I am sick to death of lukewarm so called Christians that only lead others astray and will not stand up for Christ Jesus, but back off and swim in the sewer with all the pretentious mob.

For real? Or do you write historical fiction novels?
A lot of things you may not know Philip because you may not of been informed or never bothered to look into it at all, but swallow what the anti-Christ media spin.
England had a lot of power over all of Europe and in forced what they could, but they were backwards in many ways due to many inbreed toffs looking down there nose at anyone who they thought were not in there class and it was this deranged madness that gave Socialism traction and it fed the Left power. but they did not see such as a problem because the far left and far right are in bed with each other, such is just a game that Satanist play on the masses to empower themselves over their inferiors.
The power of industry that the Germans were progressing at was alarming, did you know that, England had charts keeping an eye on everything that's going on with predictions and all you know, just like any big business does so they know what's going on, such do not just sit around on there arse you know.
Germany was set to wipe the floor with England by 1945 and it had expanded to take in Austria and was about to take back all of it's old boarders, people from all other Nations especially the East and south were flocking to Germany because of the growth.
W Churchill was running around trying to create war back in 1935.
England's people were mainly lazy and full of inbreeds and city's and roads were backward, they had no hope.

All wars are started over power, just as it is in business, such are constant trying to destroy the other opposition. didn't you know the reality's of such is a fact, it's all game play mate and I have seen it first hand for 45 years.

Hitler was just a means to an end in the whole game plan and that's why you never seen Hitler dead body in fact they never wanted to kill the mongrel, it was the Germans who tried that, he just played the game with his freemason UK, USA and Russian buddy's who were all Satanic Anti-Christ Zionist Jews in fact. it was all an orchestrated plan from the start to finish and the Anti-Christ Jews truly won the war.
Look at the USA it's controlled by the Zionist Jews,
Do know how much money the USA gave Israel in 2017 ? do you want me to tell ya or all the years before or don't you care.
I wonder why the USA media don't give out such to it's own people, it's a lot of money $ 129 Billion that's $45,528 for a family of 3 it works out to be and that does not count the military that's in the Trillions. do the tax payer know this ? does the out of work yank family with 1 child get $45,528 a year. but many claim Putin to be a problem how much does the USA give Russia a year ?

He's starting on his first novel: "Life in England".

Chapter 1:

England's people were mainly lazy and full of inbreeds and city's and roads were backward, they had no hope.
The majority of Poms are lazy, not saying all you know ! but that's why such people used slaves back in the days and then wanted people from the 3rd world like negroes to come and do their hard labour jobs.
In Australia back in the 60's etc that's what all Aussies said about pommy's all the time, that they were lazy whingeing pommy bastards and that was coming from 2ed generation from pommy stock and all, they did not look up to pommy's much mainly because of what stuck up bastards they were in WW2 and the other pommy's would take orders from their superior's, when the Aussies would not salute them. a lot of hostility against the Pommy's for treating us Aussies like they did, not to mention the Yanks were hated as well but for other reasons.
Such is all a fact.
In the 60's and 70's if you were in the pub and a pommy came in, he would be greeted to hey you pommy bastard, in a friendly way, but Aussies know never to trust a Pom as they said they were all bastards and it was unanimous.
Aussie men back in the day spoke their mind regardless and did not give a toss what others thought.
I have pommy born mates that came over here when they were young and they say such is true and others who have come who say the same and are angered by what has become of England and warn that we Aussies are going down much the same track.

All the problems come from lazy good for nothings or stuck up inbreeds that leads to a shemozzle down the track because such people truly don't truly give a toss about others, they live in their own little world, be it too rich or too stupid or just a inbreed idiot or live under a rock.

Don't get me wrong I love pommy's I think they are the funniest people in the world, they had the best comedy shows by far. but facts is facts.

Even Prince Charles and many others have comet about how crappy the city's and roads were for business to get about, the Germans did not do a good enough job of blowing London up many say, so it could of been modernised better for the future to get about like.

We here in Australia have many a backward people here as well who are much the same dopy type of ingrates who can't see the forest for the trees. who just dribble crap like we are a wealthy country don't you know while they sit on their arse on the Dole sponging off everyone, bludgers and no hopers telling others what to do, let alone claiming, you don't believe in that Jesus crap do you in astonishment.

Well, if you think that no one is surprised at their fate when "The Judgement" comes, then you can imagine the PARABLE of Lazarus and the Rich Man as being real. (None of the people in the other PARABLE of The Sheep & Goats should have been surprised at their destination, in that case) After all, if you look across some gulf and see another guy being pampered, while you are burning in torment, you JUST MIGHT get the idea that the two of you are eventually going to different places. (Remember that the Bible tells us that Jesus ALWAYS spoke to the people in PARABLES... meaning that He never spoke to them in anything BUT parables.)

I think when Jesus told the thief on the cross that "THIS DAY, you will be with me in PARADISE", He meant that at the instant of death, TIME WOULD CEASE TO BE, and the thief would one day wake up (whenever that might happen) in a Heavenly state and form with Jesus.
Well, that makes two that don't believe we're going where we belong immediately upon death. I do not agree with you however, regarding what Jesus meant when He said THIS DAY. Jesus said what He meant, THIS DAY means This Day. Today, this very day. Theologians have pondered what He might have meant, even displacing the comma, but most believe Jesus meant that very day.

I don't believe in soul sleep. We're either alive always or we're not alive at all.

Also, Jesus used real names in the story of Lazarus. He NEVER used names in any parable. That an apostle said He always spoke in parables does not really mean ALWAYS. Sometimes we say NOBODY likes some place or other and we really mean MOST like the place. One little word cannot change all of scripture and what Jesus meant. We shouldn't be hanging on to every tiny little word, but what the scriptures say as a whole.

I had assumed that the question you had asked was in regards to what I had posted earlier.

Just to be clear, I am not saying that and neither is the Catholic catechism that I am referring to. I am saying that the Catholic catechism is saying that believers are not saved yet for all the quotes I have provided. After being incorporated into the Church and doing all the seven sacraments, if a Catholic does not persevere in charity ( is that giving money to the Church or love or both ? ) he is not saved.

I wish you would quote me as saying it in that wise. Not sure how you got that when I was posting about how the Catholic catechism is saying that a Catholic is not saved yet when I am saying that they are saved in spite of laboring in unbelief or living in sin, albeit, they are at risk of being left behind when the Bridegroom comes.. unless they repent.

Nope. Not a Catholic.

I reckon I would be confusing if you can't see what the Catholic catechism is saying about how you are not saved yet. I can agree that the Catholic catechism is not the simplicity of the gospel. The Catholic Catechism being convoluted as it is, it is hard to speak simply from it, because it has nothing to do with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Tell me how all that the CC says is necessary for salvation is found anywhere in the N.T. in how they present the gospel to those who would hear and believe in order to be saved at the moment they believed in Him?

I know the CCC is not the easiest book to understand.
It seemed as though you were saying that every time a catholic sins, he becomes unsaved. I'm sorry if I misunderstood you. I don't plan on discussing this forever, it's just a misconception Protestants have and I hate for it to be repeated when it's not correct.

Catholics believe they are being saved right now as long as they believe and will be saved at the end of their life if they still believe.

WE believe the same --- nothing different, except for those who believe in eternal security, which is not really biblical.

So Catholics believe they are saved through Jesus,
Galatians 2:16 and John 3:16

Also they do require those who want to be part of the church to receive the sacraments of Baptism, communion, confirmation, reconciliation.

They believe that they receive graces through sacraments that edify them.
