Which part are you talking about? The part about there not being any bad people? Well, Jesus and the Bible never said a word about "bad" people. I believe the word used most often is "sinners", being that every goes against their own moral code at some point in their life, everyone is what Jesus would call a "sinner", but that doesn't make people "bad".
Matthew 7: 16. "You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17. "Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18. "A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19. "Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20. "Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
Matthew 12:33. "Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit.

"Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
35. "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.
36. "But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
Matthew 13:49. "So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come forth, separate
the wicked from among the just, 50. "and cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.''
Matthew 22:10 "So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom they found,
both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.
Matthew 25:46 "And these will go away into
everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.''
Romans 3:10 As the Scriptures say,``No one is good--no one in all the world is innocent.''
And for God not punishing "bad" people-He doesn't.
Matthew 25:46 "And these will go away into
everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.''
2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad
Hebrews 10:29 Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?
2 Peter 2:9 then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment
2 Thessalonians 2:12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
It may say that God had people killed in the Old Testament, but that's not necessarily literally true.
Please back this statement up .
If you are talking about hell, it is not a punishment in most people's beliefs but a natural consequence to being a "sinner".
Judaism , Christianity and Islam which are the worlds three largest religions , all believe in hell .
In the Christian belief system, Christ died for "sinners", so now it is definitely clear that God doesn't punish "bad" people.
Yes , but all wont be saved because you have to receive what Christ did , if one does not , one will not be saved . Technically also one is no longer (before God) a "sinner" when they have received Christ .
1 Corinthians 6:9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10. nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
1 John 5:18 We know that
whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.
John 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name: 13. who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
We can become children of God through Christ , no one is His child untill they have been born of God.
Romans 9:8 That is,
those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed.
This is the way that I try to view things.
