Christians explain...Luke 19 (here is the verse aswell)?

Luke 19:27 Jesus Christ said to His disciples. "And, as for those who would not have Me be king over them, bring them before Me and slay them. (KJV)

To those that say it ain't there!There it is!

Update:

Did Jesus speak in parables? Yes. Why did Jesus use parables? Jesus used fictitious stories / parables to teach - and to describe to His disciples who He was. Jesus also used these stories to explain what He expected from His disciples and of all mankind. Luke 19:27 parallels what salvation is about in that if you don't obey and serve God - instead of being slain, you will suffer eternal damnation.

    Yes, that's correct. But understand that it was the SERVANT'S choice that led to that outcome, just as it is OUR choice whether our lives lead to that or not.

    Hi:

    First of all we must be careful about what we add. You write "Jesus Christ said to his disciples" and then the verse. In isolation it makes a whole different meaning.

    In Luke 19 :27 this verse is the end of a parable about a wicked servant and the end results of his wickedness.

    Always keep in context if you want the meaning. I say this kindly

    This slaying in a parable would refer to judgment day. God will have the non-believers cast into the lake of fire to be consumed, this is a final destruction of their body and soul (the second death). We as people will not slay anyone. The parable was of a nobleman that represented Christ but the noblemans actions were human whereas Gods destruction is different.

    "But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them -- bring them here and kill them in front of me." (19:27)

    This seems pretty strong. The word translated "kill" is Greek katasphazo, "slaughter, strike down." The listeners in Jericho recalled how King Archelaus slaughtered his enemies, and recognized how the parable was true to life.

    You are not God's enemy when you fail. He loves you. He is there to encourage you to try again as he did Peter (John 21:15-17). But you are God's enemy when you set your will against his and refuse to use productively what he has given you. That is a dangerous place in which to stand, as an enemy of God.

    Ultimately, this parable is not about the present. It is eschatological and applies to the time of Christ's Return. If you sense in yourself laziness or rebelliousness against God, there's still time to repent and change your heart -- but you can only count on "today" in which to do that.

    Yes, and as has been pointed out to you, this is the nobleman in the story. And before you go too far with the "Yeah but he means himself!" stuff, you should know that the parable of the ten talents is an actual historical tale, refering to something that happened with Herod Antipas. He's making a point - yes. But he's making it based off of something that actually happened, in all its ugliness, not threatening to have apostles going on a shooting spree.... [/head scratch]

    19:27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

    Here is the real KJV. Just to expose this liar for who he is, a servant of satan. Is that what satan told you? "Take this verse out of context and use it to distort the truth." Into which ear did he whisper? Just curious. That's not to say that Jesus is not going to find you guilty of blasphemy and lying and hold you accountable.

    I'll pray for you.

    He IS talking in parables and that one is referring to when we are brought before Him during our time of judgement.

    If we haven't accepted Him, we will cast into the lake of fire to suffer thre second death.

    and why do you think this is a valid point? there can be other ways to interpret these messages as this is only one verse. must read more to get the entire meaning of what was going on.

    Those letters aren't in capitals which mean they don't refer to Jesus, but someone else!!
