Should Christians get pleasure from killing?

It seems that one of the things Christians will have to do is to toss unbelievers into the fire. It's the least they can do in return for eternal life.

John 15:6 (NKJV) ="If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned."

@Human1000 There was a Russian Jewish woman who lived by John 15:6 but she was a commie and not a Christian. She killed over 70,000 people by burning and drowning them. Jesus is sure to hire her.

@Diotrephes Good times!

@Diotrephes Communism is a political system or way of life. It is not a religion or religious order. Seems to me a person could be politically a communist, (or under communist rule,) and still be a follower/believer in Judaism or Christianity.

@IM5688 Well, all of those doctrines and religious beliefs were created by Jews.
IM5688 · 61-69, M
@Diotrephes Not true. While much of the Bible certainly was written by Jews, much of the New Testament was written by the new Christians of which some were Romans. In fact, Catholicism was created by the Romans as a way to appease the Jews.
The Jews and the new Christians could have successfully taken over Rome, so the Romans combined their pagan holidays and rituals with the new Christians forming the RCC. Basically, the Romans were using religion as a form of controlling the people that soon would outnumber them.

Sorry but you are wrong. The New Testament is written almost entirely by Jewish authors. The only Gentile might be Luke who was almost certainly a convert to Judaism. You need to get your facts straight. It is completely untrue to say that the Jews and new Christians could have taken over Rome. They were too small a group.@IM5688

@IM5688 The Bible is a book based on ancient ethnocentric Middle Eastern Jewish religious fairytales but, as a book, it was not written by them. It was written in Latin by a committee of story tellers, writers, and artists based in England in the 6980s-early 690s as a counter to Uthman's Koran, that he had a committee write around the 640s. All of the other language versions are translations based on those master copies.

You couldn't produce a legitimate authentic copy of the Bible in any language before that for all of the gold in the Milky Way Galaxy. And, if you don't know what the Ten Commandments are chances are you don't know squat about the Bible. Christianity existed for centuries before the Bible as a book was written. And, it is a legitimate question if the religion was started by the Romans as a way to keep the rebellious Jews off kilter.

@Diotrephes I don’t know who this guy is but he needs to read history and not fantasy. The New Testament was written in Greek not Katin!

Do you know which Greek alphabet it was written in?

Sorry, but that is not a Greek alphabet.
Tanya02 · 41-45, F
Sorry that is the script the new Testament is written in @Diotrephes
Diotrephes · 70-79, M
@Tanya02 That is written in the Modern Greek alphabet, so it is a fake.

Look at the manuscript and them compare the letters to the ones on this chart = http://www.ancientgreecereloaded.com/files/ancient_greece_reloaded_website/images/pictures/greek.png

If you pay close attention you will see letters from the Modern Greek alphabet in the manuscript.

I have studied it and you are wrong@Diotrephes

@Tanya02 You need to take a better look.
