According to the Bible, one of the Ten Commandments is "thou shalt not kill" or don't kill. If done accordingly, then you're a sinner. Is vanquishing, or killing, evil and nonbelievers not killing or against God? If not, explain why?

I don't understand your question. DO you mean, "Is it not killing to vanquishing demons (for example)"???

Not sure I understand the question, but here's what I get from it. GOD said thou shalt not kill. Not all christians kill and the ones that do are not living by GOD. The ten commandments should never be broken. We are born into sin and we are all human and prone to sin. The ten commandments are the major laws that we are never to break. So, anyone who kills does not believe in GOD or they wouldn't kill. It's just that simple. Also, don't be so foolish as to believe everyone who tells you they believe in GOD. Most people who truely believe in GOD never has to tell you that.

The original text is translated as thou shalt not murder, but even in the versions of the bible where it has been changed to thou shalt not kill the bible is clear on what it means by killing. It goes even further in the NT to define the commandment as not only something which is done physically, but also something that is done in thought. Jesus said you have heard it said "thou shalt not murder/kill, but I say to you that anyone who has unjust anger towards their brother has committed murder with them in their hearts" God will not only look at our actions but also our thought life and intentions.

Christians aren't out there killing nonbelievers, and we certainly don't condone doing stuff like that either. Please don't bring up the Crusades, the Inquisition, or the Salem Witch Trials. Just how Al Quada doesn't represent true Islam, those things don't represent true Christianity.
Nowhere in the New Testament are we told to kill, vanquish, or otherwise harm nonbelievers.

it is against God,He teaches you to love your enemies not kill them,this world is not inhabited by Christians,do you want to rid the nonbelievers?if you are able to accomplish it,what will happen then you will still kill each other because you are fill with hatred,killing a man is very sinful even the smallest form of live has to be respected

Thou shall not kill is one of the ten commandments. and everyone is a sinner. it's not something you can get around. but im not sure what your question was. if by evil you mean like the devil or demons, then you can't kill them. they are already dead. but you can cast them out or ignore them. ignoring them isn't easy though.

If I understand your question properly then may I humbly put forth that you do not assume that Christianity and Christendom are one and the same.
Christendom is the most hypocritical lying Jezebel that has ever existed.
Christianity however, remains quietly ....a positive force.

Read that "Thou shall not murder". Murder is wrong. People have no right to murder another.
