"born-again" people, do all of you really believe that Mother Theresa is in hell because she doubted God?

Question

if people like Mother Theresa is in hell, then there's no need to fear hell, because it seems like so many good people go there.

Hope, to answer your question, I got that idea from the "born-again" people.

Answer 1

Mother Teresa taught the Gospel by living it:

He will place the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
Then the king will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.' Then the righteous will answer him and say, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? When did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? When did we see you ill or in prison, and visit you?' And the king will say to them in reply, 'Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.' Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, a stranger and you gave me no welcome, naked and you gave me no clothing, ill and in prison, and you did not care for me.' Then they will answer and say, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or ill or in prison, and not minister to your needs?' He will answer them, 'Amen, I say to you, what you did not do for one of these least ones, you did not do for me.' And these will go off to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."
Matthew 25:33-46


"‘Not everyone who says to me, "Lord, Lord," shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven’" (Matt. 7:21).
"‘Why do you call me "Lord, Lord," and not do what I tell you?’" (Luke 6:46).
"For he will render every man according to his works . . ." (Rom. 2:6-8).
"For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified" (Rom. 2:13).
"For if we sin deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful prospect of judgments . . . (Heb. 10:26-27).
"What does it profit, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but has not works? Can his faith save him?" (Jas. 2:14).
"So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead" (Jas. 2:17).
"But some one will say, ‘You have faith and I have works.’ Show me your faith apart from your works, and I by my works will show you my faith. . . .Do you want to be shown, you foolish fellow, that faith apart from works is barren? (Jas. 2:18-20).
"You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone" (Jas. 2:24).

Answer 2

No. Many doubt God, but that doesn't mean they aren't eligible for heaven. Doubting isn't disbelief. Hell doesn't exist. Death of the soul does.

After reading more about Mother Theresa and people who worked with her, I believe that she had fallen into sin, by not allowing the Sisters and those that they helped to reap the benefits of all the money that was sent to Mother Theresa.

She clung to old beliefs and felt that living in squalor was the only way to receive redemption. Rather than using new syringes and needles (which could have been purchased with the money she received) she insisted on the Sisters washing the syringes and needles for reuse. Using them until the needles were dull.

It seems that she didn't use the money she received for the good of all, which is a shame. I believe her error in thoughts caused God to blind her eyes from Him. She couldn't feel his presence because she was in error.

Answer 3

Just believing that God is not smart enough to get everyone home safely is a complete lack of faith.

All roads lead home.

Some are just more circuitous than others are.

The idea that only one path leads back home to God assumes a God so incompetent that he can't even organize a simple educational field excursion and get all of the student’s home safely.

This amounts to saying that God has a plan for your salvation, but He was not smart enough to come up with one that would work 100 percent of the time.

How likely is that?

Love and blessings.

Answer 4

You do not know she is in Hell. No one know who is in hell and who is not. GOD alone knows that. I believe that Mother Theresa went to Heaven. She was a blessing from God to all of us.

Answer 5

No one knows where anyone is. We can guess. If I had to guess, I would think that Mother Theresa is not in Hell. Not because of her good deeds, but because she believed that Jesus sacrificed Himself for her sin.

You don't go to Heaven because you are good and you don't go to Hell because you are bad or good. You go there, a place of punishment, because of violations to God's Laws. Simple. Break the law, go to jail sorta thing. Unless, a fine is paid that will satisfy justice. All you have to do is accept it.

Answer 6

You don't go to Hell for doubting God, you go there for breaking his laws, failing to repent of your sins, and refusing to accept Jesus' sacrifice on the cross so you might be made clean in God's sight and given the gift of eternal life.

You don't earn your way to Heaven by doing good works, you do good works because you have been saved, not in order to be saved.

Answer 7

I believe if she truly repented and accepted the sacrifice that Jesus gave on the cross she is in heaven,. If she did not she is in hell. It is normal human reaction to deny God when things are not going they way you think they should. Denying God doesn't make his sacrifice any less. If she accepted it he keeps his word not Mother Teresa

Answer 8

I love how so many christians who aren't supposed to judge are answering with such authority on who does and doesn't go to hell. A few of you are taking the non-judging approach and kudos for that. I just find that really funny.

Answer 9

Deciding who goes where after this life isn't my call...it's God's. I'll just worry about me. :-)

If I could be as good of a person as Mother Theresa, I'd be a better person than I am now, that's all I'll say about her.

Answer 10

God created us with great power of thinking and figuring out things. If we take every thing for granted , we would b foolish. We must have doubted God many many times, but after reading , praying , asking others, we come to believe in Him again.

So, no, i dont think she is in hell.

Good luck!

Answer 11

I do not know what Mother Theresa believed in her heart.
If she believed that Jesus died on the cross for her sins and
that was enough for her salvation, once saved, always saved.
(Salvation has nothing to do with being good and everything to do with believing in Christ dying for your sins, for if any of us were good, he would not have to come and die for the entire worlds sin) Absolution of sin was Jesus's and his alone responsibility. You cannot absolve yourself from it. No matter how good you think you are.
