it reads:
"But those enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me,"
sounds like jesus is telling you to slay all the non-believers. what's your interpretation?

Christianity was born in bloodshed, anyone telling you youre taking it out of context is defending the evil that is within christianity.

This is a reference to the final judgment in which the condemned shall be thrown into hell. You taking this scripture out of context in trying to prove that Jesus is call for a jihad. No where in the Bible does Jesus call for the slaughter of earth bound humans, as does Mohammad. It is a tenant of Christianity that those who will not submit to the gospel are to be left alone, and that they are to be dealt with at the final judgment.

It's a parable.
No sir, I do not believe that this parable concluding with Luke 19:27 is a Christian jihad.
Rather, it is having to do with a time when we will be before His throne and the ones who bore no obedience to Him will be 'cast away.' It won't take a human effort to cast those away. But by decree of the God who will be before us. Not initiated by earthly people. But heavenly servants.
Are the servants post ressurected people? Or are they angels? In my Bible, angels are the ones that are doing the casting away. I have no remeberance of post resurrection people doing any casting away in the scriptures.

No way,JESUS calls for us to be Christ like,spreading the message of Christ,or even turning the other cheek.The wrath of God will reign down on the non believers in his time.jihad has been taken out of context by the islam or muslim faith and lets them do horrible things in the name of allah.Keep jihad and Christian seperate please.Pray for the muslims though that they will see that the road they have chosen leads to hell.

Nope. It is because people like you have limited intelligence. The average person with normal intelligence reads a sentence or verse in contexts, not just the sentence or verse and ignores everything before and after it.
For example if you read the entire Luke 19 you would of noticed verse 27 was part of a parable.
Learn something the rest of us like to call "reading in context".

No. If you read the context this has to do with the second coming of Jesus. Look at verse 15 he says the nobleman (Himself) returned. In the next verses He talks about how He will deal with those who do His will and those who do not.

You can't go taking verses out of the bible and making them into something else.. That is out of context and a jihad is used in Islam. Crusades are used in Christianity(not anymore though)

That particular passage was in fact part of a parable of a rich man who was speaking of his servants. He had given them gold to keep until his return from a distant land and was talking about his return and how 2 of the servants had invested the gold and increased it and the 3rd had not. This is not Jesus talking of how to treat people who believe not in him.
In fact he said to simply shake the dust from your feet of the places where people will not listen to the teachings. Never did he say to kill them.

"Jihad" should not be used with Christianity.
Jihad is a very elevated word that is reserved for people who truly believe in God, His Message, and ALL his messengers. I don't really see this as a description for Christians, but that's my opinion.
The Arabic word "Jihad" is a great word meaning to "strive for" or "challenge" the system, and has unfortunately been linked to violence by the haters of Islam, such as yourself.
So, please don't use the phrase "Christian Jihad" because it's hypothetical and does not exist in the religiously pious world.

Sounds more like a challenge he knew they would not meet - like asking the men without sin to stone the adulterous women
Not got a bible handy - what's the context?

in Luke chapter l9, verse 27 it reads and he said, the things which are imposible with men are possible with GOD. you are only accusing Jesus of something that He did not say or tell. May be your Jesus is satan or the demon throw that reading material away or burn it because there is no truth on it
