47 And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.
48 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?
Have you ever been greeted with an "<>< xo" by one who "follows Jesus" only to find a knife in your back when you turn around? Have you ever wondered why others who call themselves "Christians" go to such great lengths to obstruct and oppose those who desire to speak life and truth? It's an all too familiar scenario in"Christian" circles. If you've experienced this, you are not alone. Take heart, be encouraged dear brothers and sisters. You are in good company!
Jesus said:
Matt 10
22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
24 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.
25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?
John 15
18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.

*** No TBK I never have...It is obvious you have some personal issues with me "<>< xo" as well as others here...I ask in all sincerity�please take time out to pray to and meditate on what you share here as being in the will of God and not of ones self...
2Cr 12:15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.
2Cr 13:11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
No TBK...my conscience is clear...:bouncy:...and we both know the Truth here...I Forgive you...70 x 7...as Jesus has commanded...Peace :peace: Be unto you...<><...xo
Truth is Jude, I find your endless sarcasm, obstruction, rudeness and insults to be harassing. I have to remind myself of the things that I posted in this OP in order to resist the temptation to return those things to you.
Truth is Jude, that I spend my life outside of the very same Apostate system that you hold so dear. I spend my time searching the earth for the lost coins of the house of the True Israel of God while you smile and tell me how much you love me and then lurk in the shadows waiting for an another opportunity to try and trip me up or discredit me.
Truth is Jude, that the Synagogues of Satan are filled with dry and rotting carcasses soaked in their own incendiary hypocrisy and the fire from heaven will one day ignite the Holy spark until they are totally consumed in their iniquities.
Revelation 22:12: Jesus says, "Behold, I am coming soon. My rewards is with Me, and I will give to everyone **ACCORDING TO WHAT HE HAS DONE**."
2 Corinthians 5:10: "For we must all appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ, that each one will receive what is due him for the things done in the body, whether good or bad."
God's Word confirms many times that **ONLY JESUS WILL JUDGE** all the lost; the living and the dead; and will reward the saints on the Day He comes **ACCORDING TO WHAT HE HAS DONE**. {See John 5:27-30; Jude 14,15, 2 Tim 4:1; Romans 2:16; Acts 10:42 & Acts 17:31 & Rev 22:12:
Acts 10:40,42: �God {The Father} raised Him {Jesus} from the dead... He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that He is the One whom God {The Father} has appointed as Judge of the living and the dead.�
Acts 17:31: For He {The Father} **HAS SET A DAY** when He will judge the world with justice by the Man He has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men by raising Him from the dead.
2 Corinthians 5:10: For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done in the body, whether good or bad.�
Rev 22:12: Jesus says, �Behold, I am coming soon. My reward is with Me, and I will give to everyone **ACCORDING TO WHAT HE HAS DONE**.�
The pre-tribbers claim that this will occur 3 � or 7 years **BEFORE** the Last Day of the Great Tribulation right after a secret silent rapture. However in Matthew 16:27 Jesus prophesied, �The Son of Man is going to come in His Father's **GLORY WITH HIS ANGELS**, and **THEN** He will reward each person **ACCORDING TO WHAT HE HAS DONE**.� Four other times in God's Word it mentions the Second Coming of Jesus on the **LAST DAY** of the Great Tribulation in **GLORY WITH HIS ANGELS**. Matthew 24:30,31; Mark 13:26,27; Matthew 25:31 & 2 Thess 1:7
2 Thess 1:1,6-10:� �To the *CHURCH* of the Thessalonians�God is just; He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well.� This will happen *WHEN* the Lord Jesus is *REVEALED* {See I Peter 1:13} from heaven in blazing fire **WITH HIS POWERFUL ANGELS**. He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.� They will be punished with everlasting *DESTRUCTION* and shut out from the presence of the Lord *ON THE DAY HE COMES* to be glorified in His holy people!!�
Matthew 25:31-34,41,46: �**WHEN** the Son of Man {The Lamb} comes in His GLORY, and **ALL HIS ANGELS WITH HIM**, He will sit on **HIS THRONE** in Heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him and He will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on His right and the goats on the left.�
�*THEN* the King will say to those on the right, �Come you who are blessed by My Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.� {The New Jerusalem with its New Heaven and New Earth�See Rev 21:1-5 & 2 Peter 3:10-13}
�**THEN* He will say to those on His left, �Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.� ....�*THEN* they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.�
Revelation 20:11-15: Then I saw a great white **THRONE**{Matt 25:31} and Him {Jesus-Matt 25:31 & Acts 17:31} who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled away from His presence {See 2 Pet 3:10 & Rev 21:1} And I saw the dead standing before the **THRONE**{Matt 25:31}, and the books were opened. Another Book was opened, which is the {Lamb's} Book of Life. The dead were judged **ACCORDING TO WHAT THEY HAD DONE**{Matt 25:35-40} as recorded in the Books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged **ACCORDING TO WHAT HE HAS DONE**{Matt 25:41-45}. Then death and Hades were thrown into the Lake of Fire. If anyone's name was not found in the {Lamb's} Book of Life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.�{See Matt 25:41!}
So God's Word definitely shows that only Jesus will reward His saints and judge the lost on the Last Day when He comes **IN GLORY WITH ALL HIS ANGELS**{Matthew 16:27; 24:29,30; 25:31} or **WHEN HE IS REVEALED FROM HEAVEN WITH HIS POWERFUL ANGELS**:angel::angel::angel::angel::angel::angel: as per 2 Thessalonians 1:1,6-10!!:applause:

We can't be talking about the same Godsjude, but it seems to me when you directly take "<><...xo" from Godsjude's postings and tie it into your thread, that one could not help but think the post was related somehow. I can't blame her too much at least.
Thanks for the welcome, Godsjude! It's been a while! Where is everybody?!
Actually it's often true that the only thing "loving" in her posts is the xo. She gives her criticisms and then types xo as if it some how shows her to be coming from a place of love.
I spent some time with Godsjude though. I've only spent about 1 day reading TBK's posts. In my short time with TBK, as he has pointed out, sometimes it's necessary to hold the line, perhaps Godsjude is doing just that, just like TBK is. I formed the opinion of roughly one year with Gosdjude as this: She tries to reprove and correct, yet loves and does not condemn people to hell for disagreeing. That is biblical. Maybe she's been naughty since I've left though!
She has supported many false teachings from PJ and has been very critical of TBK and others while doing so. She is many times condescending in her posts and ends with with the xoxo thing to make it sound loving.
