French study claims Mother Teresa wasn’t so saintly
By Cheryl K. Chumley

The Washington Times
Even Mother Teresa was — well, no Mother Teresa? A new study published in the French-language magazine, Religieuses, argues that Mother Teresa — whose sainthood is so well established that her name actually serves as a synonym for the word saint — wasn't really all that.
She was "anything but a saint," the Canadian study authors found, as Newser reports. In fact, she found beauty in watching people suffer, the authors say.
The study is based on accounts of doctors who visited Mother Teresa's so-called "homes for the dying." The found terrible conditions, Newser reported — poor hygiene among patients, hunger, lacking medical supplies. Some patients were even denied necessary medical care, doctors said. Even Mother Teresa didn't get care there — she went to an American hospital, Newser reported.
And the reported conditions weren't for lack of money. Teresa's Order of the Missionaries of Charity had hundreds of millions in donations, Newser reported.
The authors of the study allege the Vatican purposely ignored the truth of Mother Teresa's charity. Rather, church officials helped to set the stage for her image as a saint, and even pushed through her beatification to avoid scrutiny.

MOTHER TERESA - Example of Christian Love? Or Worldwide Hoax?
by Todd Tomasella
A little historical sketch of the deceitful ways of the Roman church will reveal that Mother Teresa was merely the latest in Catholic icons to promote the heresies and lies of the antichrist catholic system which is leading a billion people to hell, not to mention the billions it has already led to damnation. What is even more disturbing is that "Christian" leaders are often heard elevating Mother Teresa as some kind of example of Christian servant hood. What a lie!
To the leader who uses mother Teresa as an example of Christian love, I would say: Dear Pastor: I take deep exception to your spoken views of mother Teresa and wanted to ask you to consider some things if you don't mind:
· Where did mother Teresa ever confess that Jesus was her LORD and Savior?
· Whose salvation plan did Teresa live according to? God's or Rome's?
· Where did mother Teresa ever proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ? That He is the only way to God?
· What was her real mission?
· Was she a photo-op promotional champion for the Catholic church to keep the faithful, faithful, and recruit new people to this cult?
· Do good works and giving one's body to be burned now save the soul? Has God changed His mind? Is there another way to God outside of the nail-scarred, risen Savior?
· Who was mother Teresa a champion for? (Answer: The most abominable antichrist system in the world the roman catholic church)
· Did you realize that mother Teresa spoke often at new age conferences because her views were not in contradiction to theirs?
· Was mother Teresa building the kingdom of God or the kingdom of antichrist? (The answer is obvious)
· Whose kingdom are we building if we herald her as a true Christian?
· How much research did you do on mother Teresa before you have led other believers to look to her as a Christ-like example and condone the false religion of Roman Catholicism?
· Did you realize that mother Teresa stated: "What we are all trying to do by our work, by serving the people, is to come closer to God. If in coming face to face with God we accept Him in our lives, then we are converting. We become a better Hindu, a better Muslim, a better Catholic, a better whatever we are, and then by being better we come closer and closer to Him. If we accept Him fully in our lives, then that is conversion. What approach would I use? For me, naturally, it would be a Catholic one, for you it may be Hindu, for someone else, Buddhist, according to one's conscience. What God is in your mind you must accept." [Desmond Doig, "Mother Teresa: Her People and Her Work", William Collins Sons & Co., Ltd., Glascow, 1976, page 136, as quoted by Constance Cumbey, in "A Planned Deception: The Staging of a New Age Messiah", Pointe Publishers, East Detroit, Michigan, ISBN 0-935897-00-3, page 108] [Emphasis ours]
· If you are obeying "the Great Shepherd of the sheep" in protecting His people, why would you ever endorse any person who championed(s) the cause of a works-based "salvation" and a false religion? (Heb. 13:20)
Mother Teresa also stated: "There are many Hindu ladies who want our way of life, the life of poverty, prayer, sacrifice and service. They want the life of a Missionary. But they wish to retain their faith, their own belief in God ... We live that they may die, so that they may go home according to what is written in the book, be it written according to Hindu, or Muslim, or Buddhist, or Catholic, or Protestant, or any other belief ... We give them whatever they ask according to their faith." [Ibid]
By her very own words we see that mother Teresa was a heretical universalist (she believed that no matter what others believe about God, they will go to Heaven).
Her own words reveal that Mother Teresa was not a born again follower of Jesus Christ, but rather a religious pagan who did not know the grace of God in Christ, but trusted in her own good works to save her (Is. 64:6; Eph. 2:8-9). Heralding people who aren't even saved by the blood of Christ as heroes of the Christian faith is deadly and leading many of God's people to be seduced by the prophesied one-world antichrist religion system of which the Catholic church is the architect/human agency. She is "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH." (Rev. 17:5) In fulfillment of prophecy, this deadly system is bringing other bodies/denominations/groups of so-called Christians under her wing to be deceived (ecumenism). Go see the Catholic church specifically identified in Revelation 17. Also, see her coming destruction in one hour in Revelation 18.
What true follower of Jesus Christ would ever use Joseph Smith (deluded founder of mormonism) as an example of a genuine Christian servant who is to be emulated? Let's ask: What is the difference between Joseph Smith and Mother Teresa? There is no difference! Both Smith and Teresa spent their lives championing the cause of false religions and their false salvation plans, leading millions into eternal damnation. Any person who upholds either of these two false prophets, is in big trouble with the Almighty and spiritually blind - unfit and unworthy to be leading God's people. If your pastor does such, run for your life. Get with true believers who are not selling out on Christ (Is. 5:20-24; Mark 8:38).
The LORD told us that the Spirit and the bride say "Come" to Christ, not a religion of sinful men. As a good Catholic, Mother Teresa openly rejected the saving grace of God's salvation in Jesus Christ alone, trusting in the merit of her own good works which are all as filthy rags in His holy site (Is. 64:6). The LORD instructs His own people to "Come out of her my people" (Rev. 22:17; 18:4). Revelation 17 describes the definite article of the Roman church in vivid detail and Revelation 18 reveals that this system is under the judgment of God and so is anyone who is condoning her. All who do not "come out of her" will suffer the eternal plagues impending upon her - including the lake of fire (Rev. 18:4).
The fact is, that Mother Teresa not once announced that she wholly trusted in Jesus Christ and His grace for her salvation, but rather wholly embraced the unbiblical and blasphemous doctrines of the Roman Catholic church which she never renounced. So, the Bible believer can clearly conclude that she was not a real Christian at all, and unless she repented at the very end, is in hell now and forever. Throw your Bible away and stop being a dishonest hypocrite who calls the Son of God a liar, if you believe that any person can go to Heaven without being born again - knowing Him! John 3:3; 7; 10:9; 14:6; Acts 4:12; 1 Timothy 2:5.
The real Church must of necessity point the finger at her (the false bride of the Roman religion) and expose her as Satan's counterfeit system/church and do nothing (zilch) to promote this antichrist kingdom, which has blasphemed the LORD Jesus Christ and His completed salvation to the ends of the earth in all her ways and doctrines. This is exactly what godly men of the last 1600 years have boldly done and are doing today.
Beware of the ecumenical movement which is Roman Catholic sponsored and has brought in thousands of deluded so-called Christian leaders. The ecumenical movement is the formulation of the one-world antichrist religion.
If your pastor does not expose this deadly system, ask him why. If he condones her, run for your life - he is not right, to put it lightly. Here's what God says of the many blinded men in leadership:
"His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way (self-serving), every one for his gain, from his quarter." Isaiah 56:10-11
So many Christians I have spoken to have never heard the truth about mother Teresa because their pastors have sold them out to deception - blind leading others into blindness and ultimately the ditch of eternal destruction.
It's time to repent and stop offending God while attempting to accommodate mere sinful men! Whom will you fear?
"Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?" Psalms 94:16
Will you answer the divine call to expose this work of darkness? Or, will you act a coward?
"And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove (expose/correct) them." Ephesians 5:11
Friend, do you desire to be politically correct or biblically correct? Are you walking in biblical Christianity, OR making up your own religion as it pleases your own agenda?
Mother Teresa was loved and exalted by the world. Jesus told us that the world would love his own. By this statement we know that anyone so universally loved by the world, cannot possibly be a true disciple of Christ.
True disciples of Christ are hated by the world, despised and rejected. Counterfeits are heralded in Satan's world system, among his children - because while having a religious position of leadership, they are of the world, which is of the devil - "the god of this world." (2 Cor. 4:4).
"If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you." John 15:19
The world hates God's true people.
The whole catholic system has been diabolically masterminded to insidiously blaspheme Christ and make His one completed work on the cross ineffectual. The Catholic system is a made-up religion, in utter contradiction to the salvation revealed in holy Scripture. No religion in history has done more to pervert the name of Christ than the Roman Catholic Church, which God will destroy in one hour - see Rev. 17-18.
Mother Teresa spent her whole life believing and promoting the doctrines of a false religion that has murdered 68 million Bible believing Christians during the inquisitions alone. Why would any true believer do anything but expose mother Teresa and her religion as a fraud and hoax?
Mother Teresa spent her whole life praying to Mary and teaching others to do so. She spent her life tirelessly giving herself to what? Couldn't be the Gospel of Christ, otherwise she would have unashamedly spoken it and not been involved in a cult. The fact is, that if mother Teresa were a true born again disciple of Jesus, we would have never heard her name or known her.
CuttingEdge.org article concerning Catholicism stated: "The key to understanding these verses is the word, "believe". Many people think that if they just "believe" that Jesus Christ is God and came to die for our sins, they are going to Heaven; but, these same people refuse to put their total trust in Jesus and His finished work on the cross for their salvation, depending also on good works, going to church, taking communion, and participating in sacraments. This type of faith is not "saving faith". Saving faith is believing that Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross alone is sufficient for the salvation of sin and for the full payment of penalty of all our sin. Saving Faith is accepting Jesus Christ's lordship. There can be no salvation without accepting everything that Jesus taught with absolute belief and obedience. This is the essence of the Gospel of Jesus Christ: teaching everything Jesus taught, teaching nothing else. If we believe and hold fast to this Gospel of Jesus Christ, we are saved for eternity, and can be as assured of Heaven as if we were already there."
Listen to Mother Teresa speaking about Conversion to her biographer, Desmond Doig. "What we are all trying to do by our work, by serving the people, is to come closer to God. If in coming face to face with God we accept Him in our lives, then we are converting. We become a better Hindu, a better Muslim, a better Catholic, a better whatever we are, and then by being better we come closer and closer to Him. If we accept Him fully in our lives, then that is conversion. What approach would I use? ."
" If we accept Him fully in our lives, then that is conversion. What approach would I use? For me, naturally, it would be a Catholic one, for you it may be Hindu, for someone else, Buddhist, according to one's conscience. What God is in your mind you must accept." [Desmond Doig, "Mother Teresa: Her People and Her Work", William Collins Sons & Co., Ltd., Glascow, 1976, page 136, as quoted by Constance Cumbey, in "A Planned Deception: The Staging of a New Age Messiah", Pointe Publishers, East Detroit, Michigan, ISBN 0-935897-00-3, page 108] [Emphasis ours]
More from CuttingEdge.org: "But, if you look closely at the last sentence of Mother Teresa's first quotation, above, you suddenly will receive a new revelation!! Let us review her quote again. "What God is in your mind you must accept." This, my friend, is standard New Age teaching!!! New Age doctrine teaches that there is no absolute Right or Wrong, that everyone can have a different belief in God, and still be on the correct spiritual path. This fact labels Mother Teresa as New Age!!"
More from CuttingEdge.org: "Perhaps this is why Mother Teresa has consistently been seen attending and speaking at, various New Age conferences in the past 20 years. "Perhaps at least part of the apostate influences here [with Mother Teresa] may be traced to the Temple of Understanding's influence. Desmond Doig and Temple of Understanding materials indicate that on October 24, 1975, Mother Teresa spoke at a Temple of Understanding Conference. She has subsequently been a featured speaker at other New Age Conferences." [Constance Cumbey, "A Planned Deception", page 103].
More from CuttingEdge.org: "I can see Mother Teresa protesting to the Lord Jesus Christ: "But, Lord, Lord, I did many mighty works in your name. Why, I gave my life and my energy to taking care of the most pitiful and despised poor and rejected of the Earth. I labored to establish the Missionaries of Charity, with over 400 chapters, and 4,000 dedicated nuns. We healed the sick, and took care of everyone who needed help. We taught these people spiritually. Lord, Lord, I should be entering Heaven!!"
More from CuttingEdge.org: "Jesus Christ will look with unfathomable sadness, as He says something like this: "Yes, Mother Teresa, you did all these commendable things. But, you were not true to My Gospel, to My teachings, that I was the only way to Heaven. You confirmed people's belief in all their false gods, all of whom were inspired by Satan. You could have turned many to the absolute truth of the Gospel, and to Me. But, you did not. Therefore, I never knew you, because you worked iniquity through your false teachings."
FED UP!
Saints of God, are you not utterly outraged at hearing so-called Spirit-filled leaders herald as an exemplary Christian, those who aren't/weren't even saved according to God's own Word? I sure am. Is it time to sound the alarm and let the chips fall where they may?
Jeff Marshall stated: "Either our own good works can get us to God (no matter if we are "Christian", Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, etc.), or we can only get to the Father through the Son, Jesus Christ, by faith expressing itself in love. If the latter is true, as Christ said it was, then the former is wrong. Not only wrong, but also Deceiving. Damning, Devilish & Satanic to the core. Where are the Martin Luther's of our generation?"
One writer who exposes the widespread and severe damage of Mother Teresa's ministry, stated this:
"If focusing on the damage she (Mother Teresa) has done is distressing, I imagine her effect on India is devastating. It is my avowed purpose to speak loudly against lies and untruth. The higher someone is elevated and the closer I would like to focus on them if their effect is overall harmful. Whether it be Nehru...or Mother whatever-I go after them. It does not make me popular with the devotees of these idols. But then I am not running for office and don't wish to win a popularity contest."
I don't know if this guy is even a born again believer, but I do know that he is smarter and more caring than those who claim to be saved and refuse to expose lies to protect the souls of men with the truth (Prov. 30:5-6). Hatred leaves lies unchecked and unannounced and then calls it "loving." How deceitful! How hateful!
"Open rebuke is better than secret love. Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful." Proverbs 27:5-6
