    When did Jesus order that his enemies be murdered and cast at his feet?

      Luke 19:27

      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.’”

      Luke 19:27

      He sets up an analogy of himself as king and then has the king say that. It’s a weasel way of saying stuff. On the level of me taking a hand puppet out and making it say mean things. “Don’t get upset it was Mr. Scruffy that said it not me”.

        I love how you were like “look! I’m not taking it out of context!” And proceed to take it out of context. You may have supposedly placed the characters, but you haven’t placed the timing. It’s clearly referring to the future events (the final judgement) when Christ’s enemies will be thrown to the place prepared for Satan and his angels. The story is about future events. No matter how you want to frame it, there is no way that’s a command to kill people in the present. Even a plain reading shows you this.

        Luke 19:11 even shows that it is referring to the Kingdom of God, something which hasn’t come yet.
