There are many places you can go to learn the facts of Teresa’s extraordinary life, from very different points of view. (Take the links below to recommended articles.) I’d like to use the time I have with you to share thoughts and feelings about her.

Teresa is a poster girl for the human ideals of humanitarianism and universalism. These are ‘isms’ that our world in its self-righteousness promotes and rewards. All kinds of people admire her and, because of her canonization on September 4, many Catholics can now feel justified in offering her a kind of worship by praying to her to intercede for them.

But while they may think that her comments about the Lord welcoming everyone – no matter what they believe – reflect the view of a loving and tolerant soul, her attitude and…

      Same here! Its my husband’s fault…he spoils both me and Lucy…
      
      Thanks for putting together your post on Mother Teresa. I clicked on Bennett’s article and it was worth the time to read it. My prayers for the Catholics who emulate this poor deluded nun. If only Catholics like her were saved! They would put us all to shame! But, sadly for them and thankfully for us, that’s not how to be saved. A false Christ is never the way of salvation…

Glad you have a loving (spoiling) husband! Lucy is blessed to live with you and him.

Yes, another Jesus – there are so many false christs! – can’t save.

Praise God that the Lord made things simple for us and drew us to Him!

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.-John 4:24

Every time any form of worship by procession, celebration, or ceremonial of man’s invention is offered to God, it is offered in defiance of this word of Christ, and cannot and will not be received; however earnest people may be they have violated the imperative canon of God’s Word; and in fighting for rubrics they have gone against the eternal rubric that God as a Spirit must be worshipped in spirit and in truth. ~ C.H. Spurgeon

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Essence of lies, and quintessence of blasphemy, as the religion of Rome IS… it nevertheless fascinates a certain order of Protestants, of whom we fear it may be truly said that ‘they have received a strong delusion to believe a lie, that they may be damned.’ Seeing that it is so, it becomes all who would preserve their fellow-immortals from destruction to be plain and earnest in their warnings. Not in a party-spirit, but for truth’s sake, our Protestantism must protest perpetually.” ~ C.H. Spurgeon

–The Sword and the Trowel January 1873

Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles nor to the church of God:

Questions: If you set up the pagan X Mass tree in the church because you don’t believe there is any harm to you and your fellow believers, will you stop the practice when a former Wiccan comes to Christ Jesus as her Savior and joins your church? Or will you wound her conscience and spoil her rewards from God by your selfishness in letting her believe that some of her Wiccan practices and tokens are OK for her to hold on to? In witnessing Christ before Wiccans, do you think they will see how set apart from them you are during the X Mass/Easter season? Or will they see you as imitating them (which is what you really are doing) and believe that Christianity is just another pagan-rooted religion?

Another question: Do you care if some of your members leave the church while you are celebrating the Yuletide season because it offends them?

Pretend for a moment that you and your family are the only ones in the world. Pretend you don’t have a TV or any history books from the world. All you have is a Bible. Without any influences from the world, you do your best to follow the Word of God. Based on that scenario, is it likely that you will be cutting a tree from the forest, decorating it with balls, and exchanging gifts on December 25th and saying it is for the celebration of the birth of Christ? Of course not because such silly tradition does not exist in the Bible and it would not even exist in your conscience and you would not even be inspired to imagine such a silly tradition. It is only through the impure minds of the heathens that such a tradition came about.

Therefore, if you do the Christmas celebration, you fully acknowledge that it is solely based on the world’s tradition. It is solely based on what MAN says to do, not God. If you want to continue Christmas celebration, then don’t be a hypocrite and say it’s for Jesus, because it’s not! It’s for the world. Admit you are a heathen and carry on your heathen ways, but don’t you dare put yourself in the same category as the most High and all His people. We are not of the world. ~comment from Duh Enlightened One on a YT Video

Disclaimer: I do not endorse anyone’s religious views in what I post here. My goal is to share the truth about the pagan/papist “holy” days called Christmas and Easter and that may include articles, posts, videos and teachings from those whose religious views you and I disagree with. Use discernment . I’m not asking anyone to do anything more than to give consideration to the message despite the messenger’s religious beliefs in other matters. However, I will be most appreciative of anyone who calls to my attention any scriptural error within their teaching against the X Mass “holy” day. Also, I see that some articles I post on side issues like the keeping of the Sabbath and the Hebrew Roots Movement are by those who believe that the X Mass “holy” day is OK to celebrate. That does not make it right to do as it is still an abomination to God.
