When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. How should I deal with this?

I know that Deuteronomy 13:6-11 says “If anyone secretly entices you -- even if it is your brother, your father's son or your mother’s son, or your own son or daughter, or the wife you embrace, or your most intimate friend – saying, “Let us go worship other gods” whom neither you nor your ancestors have know, and any of the gods of the peoples that are around you, whether near you or far away from you, from one end of the earth to the other, you must not yield or heed any such persons. Show them no pity or compassion and do not shield, them. But you shall surely kill them; your own hand shall be first against them to execute them, and afterwards the hand of all the people. Stone them to death for trying to turn you away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. Then all Israel shall hear and be afraid, and never again do any such wickedness. “

Does that mean I have to engage in physical violence against my neighbours?
