Mother Theresa was a devout Catholic.
She had a special devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Knowing the above, and knowing how she lived her life, do you think she is in Heaven right now? Why or why not?

Note: Every Catholic professes Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and is baptized in the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

I believe she is but only God knows for sure. She is one of the people I respect the most for following her faith and living as Christ taught us. I am a Catholic and I believe that she will soon be declared a Saint.
Peace Be With You,

More important than her Catholicism was her service to the poor and sick in India.

Heaven is achieved through deed, not creed.
-- Emanuel Swedenborg

The Light (that many Near Death Experiencers report seeing "at the end of the tunnel") is nonliving, infinite, and governed by Universal Law which cannot be changed. The Light is not a respector of groups and persons. All it is concerend about is how or if we cared (i.e., by our ability to love genuinely and deeply) and by our application of The Golden Rule.

The religion we represent and the god icon we worshipped in our body is irrelevant to The Light.

Sure, there is a Chrisitan heaven, like this one that was visited during an NDE...

But there are other heavens too.

Furthermore, not everyone stays the same denomination after they leave the flesh, as many realize that there is a lot more to ALL THAT IS than they realized.

The particular Catholic saint you mentioned is also a Saint in the universal sense, indicated by her Dominant Aura Color...

I know this because she is one of my Guides.

Is she in heaven?

If you mean the Christian heaven, i.e., a Christian City of Light in the Mid Realms, then yes, she has been to those many times.

But she has decided to strive toward a higher spiritual purpose and seek to become a Light onto Oneself in the Higher Realms of Spirit - where the other discarnate Saints reside.

She also has another name now that she chose for herself.

Love is all that matters.

Lip service is meaningless in The Light. It only comes into play if you are joining - or are already a part of - a Group Entity.

If there is a heaven whether she is there depends on what you believe about God's wishes for us. Mother Teresa has been accused of saying that the suffering of the poor was God's will for them and of using funds given to help the poor to convert people rather than provide food and medicine to alleviate their suffering.

A person who worked with her is quoted as saying"
"I would describe Mother Teresa as a fraud, a fanatic, and a fundamentalist... she was corrupt, cynical, nasty and cruel. While Mother Teresa and her order had the money to help save lives, victims of disease got no medical care whatsoever, and that if you went to Calcutta, you'd have perhaps a fifteen percent chance of seeing her because she was in the company of the powerful and wealthy."

Of course unless you knew her personally you can't be sure what she was really like.

Thanks for this question - because it reveals yet another contradiction in the Christian faith that I have yet to have anyone resolve.

Some claim that once a person dies, they go to heaven or hell (or since Mother Theresa was a devout Catholic - perhaps purgatory in preparation for heaven).

Others claim that we lie silently in our graves until Jesus' return.

Others claim that the spirit returns to God and that the spirit will be reunited with the flesh on Judgment Day.

She replaced right into a fraud who wasn't a Christian. She replaced right into a Roman Catholic and allied with the Antichrist in Rome, and did not educate in accordance to the Bible. She taught that see you later as a Hindu replaced right into a good Hindu he'd get to heaven and so on. human beings were purely taken in by her pious the front. Years in the past I received a letter from someone i ought to met in Calcutta who regrettably ended up in a unmarried of her establishments lack of life of TB. He replaced into keen to get out of the position. regrettably he died quickly afterwards. Bagsy 80 4 says we're not to guage others yet his connection with Romans 14 applies to Christians judging different Christians over the remember of foodstuff. With mom Teresa besides the undeniable fact that we're not talking about a fellow Christian. we are talking about someone who opposed Christianity and if so the judgement has already been made by God - John 3:18,19.

A great saddnes is that she probably is not.

As she firmly espoused the Roman Catholic doctrin which dose not permit any to know of their Salvation untill they get there... and many other practices opposing God's Word... She most liklydid not make it

NO work or works of any mortal can earn any one a place in Heaven.

Heaven is reserved for those who come to God in The Way He proscribes... And only in The Way He proscribes.... And that is NOT the RC way

The only way that she (or anyone) gets to Heaven is by asking Jesus Christ into their heart. The Bible says so.

She may have been a VERY NICE person but that has nothing to do with it.

Only if she is born again is she in heaven.

John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

Her works she did on this earth are dung and won't get her to heaven.

Isaiah 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

Ephesians 2:8-10 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

No. The idea that you float up to heaven when you die is a pagan superstition. The Bible very clearly tells us that we will wait in the grave until the day of judgment, when all the dead will be resurrected and stand before God.

Apparently she was an evil cow and she built hospices but none actually had any patients, they were just used as centres for proselytising, look up wikipedia about her, she was a heartless woman who enjoyed the suffering of the poor around her as it helped her understand suffering better, she didn't want to alleviate suffering at all but wanted the poor and infirm to offer their suffering to God, pain relief for the few patients was minimal and poor medical expertise meant more people died than needed to..
