In the Quran there is this passage: > And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. (Quran 9:5) As seen here , extremist interpretations of this verse push Islamists towards violence against others. Does the Bible have anything similar to this, encouraging hurting or killing people who defy God? I know there is Matthew 10:14-15 , but that is reserved for the Judgement day. So is there any place in the Bible where God encourages or commands others to be harmed or killed in His name?
