aj OwO Kill Witches You should not let a sorceress live. (Exodus 22:17 NAB)
Why was this? Let us look at context.
Leviticus 20:6 “If a person turns to mediums and necromancers, whoring after them, I will set my face against that person and will cut him off from among his people.
Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
It is idolatry. It is the worship of a lie, and people pollute themselves doing this. Not only themselves but those who seek them out for advice or magic favors.
Leviticus 19:31 “Do not turn to mediums or necromancers; do not seek them out, and so make yourselves unclean by them: I am the Lord your God.
Though we don't have any legal grounds today as Christians to kill those those who practice these things since we are living under a different Covenant, sorcery today is as evil today as it was to Israel under the Old Covenant.

aj OwO Kill Nonbelievers They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. (2 Chronicles 15:12-13 NAB)
"They entered into." This was not an unwilling covenant made against their will. God did not impose Himself on them.
Deuteronomy 4:29 But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul.
Joshua 22:5 But be very careful to keep the commandment and the law that Moses the servant of the LORD gave you: to love the LORD your God, to walk in obedience to him, to keep his commands, to hold fast to him and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul."
They made a choice before 2 Chronicles:
Joshua 24:15-20 But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”
Then the people answered, “Far be it from us to forsake the Lord to serve other gods! It was the Lord our God himself who brought us and our parents up out of Egypt, from that land of slavery, and performed those great signs before our eyes. He protected us on our entire journey and among all the nations through which we traveled. And the Lord drove out before us all the nations, including the Amorites, who lived in the land. We too will serve the Lord, because he is our God.”
Joshua said to the people, “You are not able to serve the Lord. He is a holy God; he is a jealous God. He will not forgive your rebellion and your sins. If you forsake the Lord and serve foreign gods, he will turn and bring disaster on you and make an end of you, after he has been good to you.”

aj OwO "Kill Followers of Other Religions. 1) If your own full brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife, or you intimate friend, entices you secretly to serve other gods, whom you and your fathers have not known, gods of any other nations, near at hand or far away, from one end of the earth to the other: do not yield to him or listen to him, nor look with pity upon him, to spare or shield him, but kill him. Your hand shall be the first raised to slay him; the rest of the people shall join in with you. You shall stone him to death, because he sought to lead you astray from the Lord, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that place of slavery. And all Israel, hearing of this, shall fear and never do such evil as this in your midst. (Deuteronomy 13:7-12 NAB)
The verses are saying father, brother and daughter. These were all Israelite. They all were under the Covenant promises and obligations. If they sought to break that Covenant and make you break that Covenant they were doing evil. They would be attempting to lead you astray from God and from Life. It has an infectious quality to it also. The purging of those that did not want to be true to the covenant was very necessary not only to make sure that Israel was not lead astray but also to create an environment where it was possible for the Messiah to be born. Jesus could not have been born in a pagan Israel since He was required to be obedient to God by walking perfectly. When nations other than Israel were punished, and I am not attesting that they were it was only when the sins they had committed accumulated to such a size that God could not stand it anymore, and to prevent them from spreading their sins to their neighbors God intervened.
