The word "impossible" indicates something that simply cannot be done; viz: there's no way around it. Seeing as how Teresa was never really convinced there's a God out there, then nothing she did during the whole fifty years abroad as a missionary pleased God; viz: as a spiritual journey, none of it counted. 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 14:23 . . 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. ● John 14:18 . . I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the sixth hour darkness fell upon all the land until the ninth hour. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying: Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is: My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me? Christ's abandonment was very brief: no more than 3 hours; while Teresa was abandoned for virtually five decades; a total of 437,100 hours. Christ was abandoned because he was made sin on the cross. ● Isa 53:6 . . All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and The Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. I can only assume that Teresa was abandoned for so long a time because her sins were never unforgiven; and no surprise there. Here's one of Teresa's prayers, taken verbatim from her private letters. "If there be God . . please forgive me." Note her words "if there be God". According to Jas 1:6-8, people who pray as if there may or may not be a God out there should not expect to be heard. ● Heb 11:6 . . anyone who approaches God must believe that He exists The word "must" indicates an essential requirement. / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend takes John 3:16 and takes the word parish out of it and tells people that hell is not forever. That you will only be there for as long depending how much you sinned and how bad those sins were. My friend Tracy who died without Christ will on be there a short time as opposed to Hitler because he was total evil. She says God is love and will not put people in hell for eternity. When asked to read something in scripture that apposed her point of view, her comment? "Why should I"? she also said the same thing when i wanted her to read in Colossians about judging people about the Sabbath. She once again refused. People cherry pick all the time. In the case of Martha telling people is hell is only for a short time it is a very dangerous doctrine. Blessings, RustyAngeL Those in hell wound not change even if they had the chance. People in hell hate God and others, they have no love. I have no idea who is in hell, I do however pray for the salvation of all. Our freedom is a great gift with deep consequences. In Christ Jesus we become truly human as he was, forgiven filled with grace. In hell what is there is no longer human, just rage, hatred and isolation from all. That is why I pray that no ones ends up there, so as you have pointed out, scriptures says that there are those who choose to not accept Christ Jesus.

Especially if we don't personally know that person very, very well. In my mind it's a lot like gossiping and rumor-mongering... Amen . . . God is the only one to determine anyone's eternal destination, and I will leave that in His capable hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think you are being biblical and self righteous with saying it but it is not , it is pretending that you don't know better. It is "let's pretend we have not have a clue what the bible says , that we don't know by GOD's word when people receive the true Gospel. It is lets just pretend we have no clue how people are saved. Let's have pretend we have no clue what JESUS said, because we just don't have a clue.... but GOD has already given us HIS Word and He has told us. I can read what Mother Teresa has said and she expressed her beliefs that are counter to the GOSPEL . She reveals her heart by what she has said about Jesus. It is a false Gospel she was taught . If you can't tell that how will you tell if there are False prophets? or someone spreading false gospel? --in your determining only GOD can tell and you can't because - gee -- only GOD knows people's hearts--so good luck with that. But stop misleading people. You never met her. You have no idea what her final thoughts were. You cant say for certain if she is saved or not. The bible tells us we cannot judge their hearts like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
