Jesus is a wildly schizophrenic character. The crucifixion was his big sacrifice moment, and so the writers wrote him as this beatific figure, all peaceful and serene. But at other moments, he's fashioning whips to beat and intimidate the moneylenders with, or likening everyone on the planet bar the Israelites to dogs, asserting that his salvation was only for them and everyone else was hellbound. Even the concept of hell is an invention of Jesus, it never occurs elsewhere in earlier scriptures; Jesus doesn't just ask us to kill nonbelievers, he also condemns them to eternal torment!

Well, you've got the Deuteronomy verses- thanks SteelCurtain- but it actually gets worse:
Deuteronomy 13:13-19 Wrote:Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods. In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully. If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock. Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it. Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God. That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt. Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction. Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to you. He will have compassion on you and make you a great nation, just as he solemnly promised your ancestors. "The LORD your God will be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I am giving you today, doing what is pleasing to him."
Don't just kill nonbelievers of any stripe, murder their entire town, kill all their animals, and burn their property to cinders, where it shall remain in ruin forever.
