You wrote,[...True, hate and anxiety could spread from here...].
You could stop the spread of hate, in particular but not limited to, by posting a repudiation of the statement that can be seen as not against your rules because it is unsanctioned, [...No non-Christian will enter heaven...]. A subset of readers could think that you and your deputies of record are validating what the statement could purport because it is not sanctioned by you and your deputies of record. By posting that you do not consider the statement to be supportive, that type of thinking could be stopped. The statement could give rise to the thinking that Jews and the others depicted in the statement are inferior to Christians and lead a subset of readers to have hatred aroused toward the Jews and others by the nature that the statement claims superiority of Christianity over Jews and the others by the nature that the statement precludes Jews and the others from entering heaven because a subset of readers could think that the statement is analogous to [...only Christians can enter heaven...].
As you state that you do not wait to put out the fire here, for one match could start a forest fire, I say to you that there could be a subset of readers to think that you are letting the fire of hate burn here that allows the hatred to spread from here. And there is historical parallels to what can be seen here by you allowing anti-Semitic statements to stand. The world should not allow you to do this.
