But there is a major problem! J I Packer also made some assumptions that Mother Teresa was a child of God.

Those who signed the ECT document and the Manhattan Declaration also make assumptions about Roman Catholics.

My question for Beneath is what does he think of the following article and how does he view professing Christians like Packer who make such assumptions?

quote:'To any faithful and discerning Christian it should be patently clear, in the light of ‘Mother’ Teresa’s own words, that she was a spiritually lost soul, sadly a high-profile victim of Rome’s false ‘gospel’ and practices. Former Roman Catholic priest, Richard Bennett examines the question of ‘Mother’ Teresa in his article ‘Mother Teresa: A Lost Soul?’'(unquote)

Many follow the great intellect of Packer and happily sign those documents.

Many of God's disciples are not erudite by nature Can we claim that God would discriminate against them because

The Lord sent Phillip to the Ethiopian eunuch, yet the same ALL Mighty All Powerful Creator of Heaven and Earth would regenerate a new creature in Christ and leave His child stagnating in the graveyard of apostasy with no other living spiritual fellowship or helps?

Would He not send one of His servants to help this uneducated new convert,-a neighbour or some other providential meeting to gently guide this new born little lamb?

Where are these converted brethren still in the Romish church? Where is just ONE preaching the authentic gospel? You need to validate your assumption with some solid examples from the 21st century, or they are but your personal assumptions.

What does 'natural man' mean I Cor 2: 14 in context and if he can't discern (understand) spiritual things, why? Because he is not 'born again'? So how can an unsaved man ever understand- left to himself?

What does John 3: 8 mean? What does v6 mean?

What does Romans 8:9 mean?

What does John 16: 8-14 mean?

What about I Corinthians 12:3?

Matthew 16: 16,17?

How can you call upon the Lord Jesus to save you 'but by the Holy Ghost'? Yet if you are not saved you have not the Holy Ghost?

How can you discern spiritiual things i.e. the gospel but by the Holy Ghost? What happens to the natural man FIRST so that he can believe?

If a blind man sees, a deaf man hears etc., (a dead man lives)-what happened to them first so that they could believe and seek the Lord Jesus for a miracle?

The same thing as Peter in Matthew 16: 15-17? If so then is such not the work of God alone John 6: 29 and 16:14? He receives ALL the glory?
