Wrong again. Study a little harder and guess a little less. Read post #60 and you'll see the answer.

The unsaved do not care if God loves them or not.
What you are suggesting is that Teresa spoke to God about it and God never answered her.

If Teresa didn't hear the True Gospel and respond in faith in Christ as her Savior, then, she's in Hades (a place of torment) awaiting the judgment of God. Where she will be judged by her WORKS and be cast into "The Lake of Fire" for eternity.
Yes Freelight. I have indeed given enough time to consider and reconsider resurrection and reincarnation and, have come to the conclusion that both are from pagan mythologies. No wonder the Tanach denies both with the fact that, once dead, no one will ever return from the grave. Evidences? II Samuel 12:23; Isaiah 26:14; Job 7:9; Psalm 49:12:20; etc, etc.
Her spirit returned to God who gave it and her body lies in a tomb in India.

Towards the end of her life, Teresa began to worry that if there be God, he might not like her, and might actually be quite inclined to condemn her. What's wrong with that picture? Well; I'll tell you what's wrong.
According to the Holy Bible-- which Roman Catholicism holds in very high regard --God has a supernatural way of assuring His own that He does in fact exist and that they are not abandoned.
● John 14:16-18 . . I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor to be with you forever-- the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for He lives with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
● Rom 8:16 . .The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
The Greek word for "bears witness" means to corroborate; which Webster's defines as: to support with evidence.
It's possible to short circuit the corroboration process.
● 1Ths 5:19 . . Do not quench the Spirit.
How does one quench the Spirit? Well . . the better question is: How did the most dedicated Catholic nun the twentieth century ever produced manage to quench Him? If the most pious role model in the modern Catholic world could quench God's Spirit for virtually five decades, then where does that leave John Q and Jane Doe pew warmer?
● 2Cor 13:5 . . Examine yourselves to see whether you are living in faith. Test yourselves. Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you? --unless, of course, you fail the test.

Only 'God' knows where Mother Teresa is, and she will carry on by the laws of the universe which govern the soul's condition and destiny. All are judged according to their works and these are mediated by the law of karma (sowing and reaping). Yet all things are ultimately resolved/absolved by 'God', who is infinite love.
Now as far as her trials, doubts, dark nights of the soul, despairing times, many saints have gone thru this for don't saints to some measure share in the sufferings of Christ?, and even take on the suffering of others to a degree? Her tireless work and ministry for the poor and suffering is amazing and her charity and sisterhood continues to this day, helping those in dire need, who are mostly rejected by the rest of the world. She was plunged into the depths of human suffering and served as God's hand's and voice to those in the most abject conditions. Apparently she walked the walk, going all the way for Jesus, even if she went thru a 'dark night of the soul' (for however many years), she was still faithful to her calling.
Media misrepresents 'spiritual desert' of Blessed Theresa of Calcutta
Mother Teresa’s Crisis of Faith (Time Magazine, David Van Biema, Aug. 23, 2007)
I think Teresa's words here tell all -
Where Is Mother Teresa Now?
She is where God's Will determined her to be:
Dan. 4:35
And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

Garbage.
Prove it?
That is easy to do.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Nope. That's not the proof you need to convince me. You said the soul stays with the bones, right? Prove that?
Prove I said that.
Prove I said that.
GM hasn't read 1Cor 13:1-13, he is stuck midway between 2Cor 3:6, which is the less excellent way 1Cor 12:31.
Uh oh, Zeke has a handful of scriptures !!! He still doesn't know what they mean unfortunatelyGM hasn't read 1Cor 13:1-13, he is stuck midway between 2Cor 3:6, which is the less excellent way 1Cor 12:31.
Prove I read it?
You say the spirit stays with the bones...NOWHERE anywhere do the scriptures say that. What is strange though is how closely what you said aligns with the Catholics. The Catholics dig up their dead. They dig up their dead 'Saints'; the bones of their dead Saint's bones. Why do they do that? They do that because they believe there is magic in those dead people, those decaying and those decayed. Your beliefs are not far off from theirs.
