Question

Kill Enemies



But as for these enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and slaughter them in my presence. [spoken by Jesus as a parable] (Luke 19:27 NRS)

Answer 1

Now is that not strange, I have heard dictators make a similar statement, historical kings made those same statements all because they really did not like any competition, this is exactly why I do not give the bible much credibility.

Answer 2

Why is it that when you want a question answered you only tell part of the story and not the whole thing? If you want someone to answer your question don't they deserve the entire parable? Or maybe you wanted people to look it up.
I think this is the explanation you want:
The nobleman is like Jesus Christ giving out his word and people of course hate him for it because they want to live life their own way. He gives money which is like His Word and tells his servant to invest it or tell others about it so they can be saved. The first servant tells his Master that he invested wisely and reported that he made a fortune with the money meaning that he spread the Word and helped bring a lot of people to their savior. The next servant didn’t do as well but at least he tried and was rewarded. The third servant didn't spend his time wisely. The King is considered hard because He must judge everyone and fairly. The servant was told to do invest the money and didn't do it. He didn't do what he was told to do which was to spread the the Word. He was unfaithful and therefore the King took everything away from him because the servant didn't deserve it. In the end the King will punish everyone who is unfaithful. Unfortunately most people are like the last servant. They do not invest their money or their time wisely. The Lord gives us tools that He wants us to use. Jesus said in the Bible that we should be the salt and the light. God will richly bless the people who are faithful to Him and He will make the people who don’t listen to Him miserable. He speaks in parables so that people will study His Word and learn from it because if you knew the answers right away would you pay attention?

Answer 3

i can't grant Scripture as to why Jesus spoke in parables altough Matthew 13:10-11 gives you some efficient perception into it. i will only grant the conjecture that He did so with a view to make Christianity trouble-free and user-friendly to comprehend. keep in mind, till Christ died, all and sundry became into nevertheless subject unto the regulation, making Christianity a different concept for salvation. Christ needed it effectively understood so as that categorical components of it does not be misinterpreted.

Answer 4

Yes, and the parable starts with verse 11. Ends with verse 27.

We are to do the best we can with what Jesus has given us.
That is what the account is about.

Answer 5

That is correct. Jesus told the parable in part to show what happend to people who reject Him as their Lord & Savior. The Bible says, "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23)
God is the righteous judge. If we continue to reject His Son He is just and righteous when He allows us to pay for our sins ourselves.

Answer 6

That is not a parable. That verse was used by Christianity as the authority and justification for the killing of hundreds of thousands... perhaps millions... of pagans, apostates, heretics, abriginal peoples, witches... you name it.

Answer 7

I think Jesus was explaining to his followers the kingdom of God wasn't going to appear at once. This verse refers to what will happen when Jesus comes back.

Answer 8

Its a parable.Read the whole parable.

Answer 9

Kinda like... He who is without sin cast the first stone. It makes the point.

Answer 10

This has nothing to do with killing your enemies - read the whole chapter.
