as far I, personally, can see, not one single Bible-fundie dedicated his/her life helping the poor needy people like Mother Teresa did, but the Bible-fundies dare say that she's in hell, and they (Bible-fundies) are going to Heaven just because they are Bible-fundies.
seriously, fundies, who is this god of yours that you speak of? it doesn't sound like the God of the Christians.

Nobody has the right to say where one is or is not. Nobody knows!
One cannot get into Heaven by works, only by salvation through Jesus. I can be the most kind giving person on earth but I will not get into Heaven because of that.

1) I consider myself a fundamentalist
2) You are the 1st person from whom I have heard such a thing
Of course, as at least 1 answer said, her good works will not earn her a place in heaven. However, I know of no reason to believe that she has been prohibited from entering heaven, or has lost her salvation. Of course, only God knows the state of her faith at the moment she died, so anyone - fundamentalist or otherwise - who claims that they know the fate of any particular person (without being at their death-bed) is demonstrating an un-Christian-like arrogance. No doubt those who say this would say the very same thing about the "good thief" on the cross beside Jesus - if the gospel had not told us otherwise.

Mother Teresa was A far better person in my eyes than Princess Di Ever was.
They Died only days apart I think The World was so caught up with the whole Princess Di thing and her death that no one even cared about Mother Teresa.
The previous summer Princess Di was asked to travel to Ireland on a peace trip there, but later refused, instead ended up on a luxury ship in the Mediterranean cavorting with Dodi Al fad.........
Mother Teresa, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, died on September 5, 1997, in her convent in India. She was 87. Born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu in 1910 in Skopje, Yugoslavia, she joined the Sisters of Loreto in 1928. She took the name "Teresa" after St. Teresa of Lisieux, patroness of the Missionaries.
Mother Teresa gained worldwide acclaim with her tireless efforts on behalf of world peace. Her work brought her numerous humanitarian awards, including : the Pope John XXIII Peace Prize and the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. In receiving this award, Mother Teresa revolutionized the award ceremony. She insisted on a departure from the ceremonial banquet and asked that the funds, $6,000 be donated to the poor in Calcutta. This money would permit her to feed hundreds for a year. She is stated to have said that earthly rewards were important only if they helped her help the world’s needy.

May be.In her later years,she kind of lost heart (if not faith) in the justice of God or some thing akin to it and Fundies might have deleted her from the list for Heaven.That's the worst part of a religion ie going back is difficult and people withhold due to,may be,shame or whatever,to admit the failure.Generally,it's at a stage of life,when it's rather late in the day.

This stems from their basic hostility toward Catholicism in general, because if the Catholic church is correct in even a small part of what it claims, the fundies are going to have lot's of explaining to do, come Judgment Day.

certainly there is not any hell and heaven - it somewhat is only an imaginary to stroll in a morale way. Who the hell to inform that mom Teresa is in hell? If there is, she would be able to be the 1st man or woman to honour.

Hello,
Jhn 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
That is only one verse in many Jesus said but he also says if you do not forgive your brother you shall not be forgiven and you will be asked,did you feed me when I was hungry, cloth me when naked, visit me in prison, heal me when sick etc etc etc.
Those that make such pronouncements could also be facing condemnation themselves since they are playing God and judging for him by saying who goes to hell and who doesn't.
Cheers,
Michael Kelly

The Catholics have a Pope. Protestants laugh at them, and yet the Pope is capable of intellectual advancement. In addition to this, the Pope is mortal, and the church cannot be afflicted with the same idiot forever. The Protestants have a book for their Pope. The book cannot advance. Year after year, and century after century, the book remains as ignorant as ever. --Robert Ingersoll

See what I mean when I talk to them... If they're going to heaven, I'll take hell. I'll be in better company.
