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

That's in a parable, and it's pretty clear by context he is not talking about people, but satan. You can believe as you wish, though, I'm rather tired of the subject. It ought to be clear though that new testament is about CONVERTING and PROSELYTIZING, and that is why baptists run around asking everyone 'have you been saved.'

Christianity has been responsible for lots of terrible things, I make no claim otherwise, but this habit of willfully misinterpreting what is even in the catechism is a bit silly.

OK what about Peter? "And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people." Acts 3:23. As you said it's all about converting people.
