Teresa Of Calcutta
A Catholic Saint Or Just Another Lost Sinner?
“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”
[Exodus 20:3]
Introduction
Agnes Gonxha was born August 26, 1910 and died on September 5, 1997. She is more commonly known as “Mother Teresa”, and was a Roman Catholic nun of Albanian ethnicity and Indian citizenship, who founded the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, India, in 1950. For over 45 years, she ministered to the poor, sick, orphaned, and dying, while guiding the Missionaries of Charity’s expansion, first throughout India and then in other countries. Following her death, she was beatified by Pope John Paul II and given the title “Blessed Teresa of Calcutta”.” (source: wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother_Teresa)
Mother Teresa Was A Lost Sinner – Here’s Why
Mother Teresa was without a doubt a lost sinner who did not understand the exclusivity of the Lord Jesus Christ and His one and only atonement for sin on the cross at Calvary. This woman whom the world loved in life and still loves in her death was actually an enemy of God, whether she realized it or not. The true God of the Bible will have no other Gods before Him [Exodus 20:3]. Here are two famous heretical quotes from this Catholic nun and false teacher:
“There is only one God and He is God to all; therefore it is important that everyone is seen as equal before God. I’ve always said we should help a Hindu become a better Hindu, a Muslim become a better Muslim, a Catholic become a better Catholic. We believe our work should be our example to people. We have among us 475 souls – 30 families are Catholics and the rest are all Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs—all different religions. But they all come to our prayers.”
“There are so many religions and each one has its different ways of following God.
Apparently, Teresa never read her own bible, that is, if she even owned one, otherwise she would have known that Jesus Christ, the Lord of all creation said:
“I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” [John 14:6]
Teresa preached a gospel of self-righteousness, the gospel that God hates and the world loves. All this probably sounds very harsh and unloving to most people, but when you understand that Jesus Christ is eternal God, in the flesh, and that He runs heaven and He has designed ONLY ONE WAY to get there – a way that required Him to be slaughtered for the sins of ungodly sinners – then you will be forced to agree that ANYONE who suggests or promotes some other way to heaven is indeed a misguided false prophet at best – and in reality a liar and an enemy of God – no matter how ignorant they are of the facts. Anyone who claims to be a Christian and who also says the things that Agnes Bojaxhiu (a.k.a. “mother” Teresa) said about the path to heaven, means they really did not believe what God said in the bible about who He is and who will be allowed into HIS heaven. And most people who don’t believe the truth about God and Heaven, have the opinions they have because they don’t like the truth about God and about heaven and about what God says about them.
You will notice that I don’t call Agnes Bojaxhiu “mother” Teresa because she is in no way any kind of spiritual mother to me nor to any other true Christian. This Teresa woman denied the uniqueness of the Lord Jesus Christ and the exclusiveness of His plan of salvation. She told people that all they needed to be concerned about was being a good Hindu or good whatever, implying that Jesus was a liar, because Jesus said “I am the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the father except by me.” What an outrage, to say that Jesus left glory in heaven to come to earth and be crucified, all for nothing, because a person could get to heaven some other way… to those people Jesus had this to say:
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.” [John 10:1]
Teresa’s gospel of human works and self-righteousness led many people to hell. She is in hell now, just like you will be if you trust in your own righteousness…
“For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.” [Romans 10:3]
