Did you understand why this comment about Christ was made?

Hello, I was wondering if you had any idea why someone would say Jesus said, 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." That really bothered me, and all through the bible Jesus says to love our enemies, pray for them, and do good. I was wondering if you had an insight as to why this man made this statement. Its a pretty troubling statement, agree with you.

I was also wondering if you could tell me why there are so many senseless killings, such as the ones in Mumbai, or the Spain train bombings. Do you think the people are Islamic radicals? What is your opinion?

Merry Christmas, and Happy New year to you also.

Sincerely, Anne
