That is a parable, and Hell does exist for unbelievers. But had Jesus meant that literally for his disciples and Christians to do, then Jesus wouldn't have chastised one of his disciples for using a sword when he was about to be captured. (Luke 22:51)

However, I think the main issue is the Old Testament, and the fact that Jesus (as far as I know) never said that many of its teachings no longer apply.
