No,no kidding..

I respect the work of Mother Teresa and believe she deserves the accolades of men ... she cared for the dying, but not their eternity MD.. She sent them off to their gods, that can not save

"I love all religions. ... If people become better Hindus, better Muslims, better Buddhists by our acts of love, then there is something else growing there."

She said this 'there are many ways to God': "All is God--Buddists, Hindus, Christians, etc., all have access to the same God."

No there is only one that saves..and He is a jealous God not willing to share His glory with anyone

Of course, nothing that you quote contradicts monotheism. In fact it emphasizes monotheism.

It SEEMS that your side says that no one can do anything good at all unless they are Christian. For, you are monotheists. So there is no good unless it comes from God. But, you imply, if somebody who is not your kind of Christian does or says something which seems to be good , it isn't, because that would be God sharing his glory, which he does not do.

Therefore EITHER there is a source of good which is not God OR nobody but the right sort of professing Christian can do any good.

To me, both of those propositions are nonsense, so Mother Teresa is right when she says of "virtuous" adherents of other religions "then there is something else growing there."

You guys also clearly think that you make no mistake about God, for you insist that anyone who has a wrong idea about God thereby does not worship Him but a demon.

There are real problems with this view.
