This is actually a very good and legitimate question honshu. Thank you for asking it and challenging me to look deeper than what I originally thought was meant by it.
Since we've corresponded I now realize you are referring to The Parable of the Ten Mina's, where Jesus is telling the story of a nobleman and his servants whom he gave money to invest while he was away. To those who faithfully and diligently served the master by investing the mina's wisely, much more was given as a reward.
But for the one who disregarded the masters command because of fear and unbelief, even what he had was taken away from him and the master spoke this judgement against him and those like him-
"But bring here those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, and slay them before me."
Thus will it be with the wicked in the day of judgement.

As a Pagan I am always happy to see sobering comments concern Christians and their on going war of vehemence. But I don't want to see something that doesn't appear in their Bible used to make trouble. There is more than enough info in their Bible that needs understanding without adding any more.
Please state where you found this statement. I have a wonderful site that does searches of all Christian Bibles and this statement can't be found.
So what is up?

He didn't say that. He was telling a parable about a harsh king WHO said that. Besides, every translation of the Bible says the same verse differently. I think this parable has a message behind it and that's what matters. That is God puts something inside of us and we make it grow, spread, and then we gain something in the end, a reward. If however we make it decrease or lose it, we will have some consequence too. I don't think that means Hell and Heaven concept is the answer to reward-consequence idea, and it is not clear that that what He is talking about, but I think we have the compromise to improve spiritually, and if we don't, we will have to suffer some consequences in the future, in this life or next one.
Peace

Thats from a *parable*. Part of it is the line you quote. So its saying by *analogy* that ultimately rebels against God will be dealt with with justice, and that will be severe - this is talking of the Last Judgement. But now is the time when we may be saved, the opportunity will probably no longer be available after physical death though. Grace is extended now though, to any who will take it, to have their sins borne for them by Jesus. As for those who have never heard the gospel, or have been given a distorted idea of it, God will be just in His judging.

can I ask you a question? If you are so sure that it is in the Bible- please tell us where. When you quote something you need to back it up with the scripture passage.You are questioning our education? Interesting- show me proof- you always want proof from us.
Could it be a parable? Read the whole passage before you pick out something and use it,

Jesus did not say this. The King in the parable in Luke 19 did.

if he said this, he didn't mean beheading in its real sense.
parables should be first studied and ressearched well before any conclusions.
i can give a little idea what he could have meant:
the energy which flow in your body to make you divine and close to God, comes to the head. so this can have something to do with this, i am not sure.
but definetly not killing someone, this i am sure.

You are referring to a parable...then again I am not here to educate you so read the rest of the verses and don't take things so ignorantly out of context

You are referring to a line from the parable of the servants and the talents. And of course, you are taking it out of its metaphorical context (it was a parable, stupid), and trying to make it sound like a command for Christians.
The ones doing the "bringing" are the angels, and he is referring to Judgment Day, and God's coming wrath. It should have been clear from the context what he meant. You are just being a troll.
