Was Mother Theresa wrong when she said this?

What exactly is she saying here? Is she saying that one has to be Christian only to go to "Heaven"?

I remember meeting Mother Theresa one time when she visited my town in India back in 1986. I also had a chapter about her life in my English textbook in the 3rd grade.

Lately, I have become very skeptical about her methods. I believe that she tried to convert people. I am of the opinion that all evangelists need to be kicked out of India. If they want to help people, then do so, but NO converting.

God is the only one who can judge someone. No one knows whether someone is going to heaven or hell. You cannot possibly see into someone's soul.

I agree with MT.

Wow, because I actually choose to believe scripture you equate me with a fundamental Islamic terrorist.

I look forward to your future mature, insightful, and intelligent judgments.

And, if you actually believe the Bible, it draws a line, many lines. But hey, if you read everything there as gray, and allow yourself to pick and choose when God is serious about what He says, then you can come to some conclusions like yours that would play well on Oprah.

Only God can convert people's hearts to the truth. It's a shame that foreigners have to go into India to take care of people that Indians should be taking care of themselves.

I think I remember Indians complaining about Americans hating them because they are taking jobs away from Americans on the Microsft hotline. Now I hear Indians complaining about nuns helping helpless Indians... Why can't we all just get along?

Matt. Chap. 25:31-46
31 ‘When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, 33and he will put the sheep at his right hand and the goats at the left. 34Then the king will say to those at his right hand, “Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; 35 for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.” 37 Then the righteous will answer him, “Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? 38And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? 39 And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?” 40And the king will answer them, “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family,* you did it to me.” 41Then he will say to those at his left hand, “You that are accursed, depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels; 42 for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not give me clothing, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.” 44 Then they also will answer, “Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not take care of you?” 45 Then he will answer them, “Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.” 46 And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.’

texag73-- In all fairness, she is only one indian on an internet site. The majority of indians, both christians and hindus, love her.
