This parable talks about judgment on those by God (who do you think the ruler is?)...not by man...and does not ask followers of Christ to kill in God's name nor convert through threat of death...

I would take heed of that parable VERY carefully if I were Jersey Freethinker. He can consider himself an enemy of Jesus Christ for what he has said here today.

It may be easy to sit behind a keyboard today and insult God, His Holy Word, and those who follow Jesus, but there will come a day when he has to face his maker like the rest of us.

Free Thinker is most likely not a Christian, either he/she is Agnostic or Atheist...I do not have a problem with that, it is his choice...

What I take issue with is his taking verses out of context. For example, the previous parable is followed by Christ telling His followers about preparing for the Kingdom of Heaven and the ultimate judgment we will all face... Now looking at the previous parable you see that Christ is telling them a lasting and critical judgment awaits all of us...

I've debated many like Free Thinker before, they cut and paste from many sites that support their thinking without really understanding the context of what the New Testament states.

I will not argue that the Bible is not violent, it is. But to carry that to Christians being commanded to kill others in Christs name is absolutely absurd...
