There is a passage in the Gospel of Luke that is being used by critics to argue that Jesus was not all love and peace, and that he too condoned the killing of non believers. Here is how the verse appears:
But as for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slaughter them before me. - Jesus, Luke 19:27
However, it should be understood that the author (L Source) was not one of the original disciples and that this passage was inserted by the author sometime between 80 to 100 A.D. Indeed, this statement does not appear in the other gospels, including more authentic source material, such as Mark and Q. This passage is a significant contradiction and is most likely not an accurate representation of what he actually said.
