    So you have David who would not Kill saul - even though everything pointed to that he should. Yet he knew God did not want him to. You also have David killing tens of thousands and Goliath. War killing is totally different in the bible than just Murder. God absolutely will tell a person to Kill in war like he did King Saul. Yet he spared King Agag and disobeyed God. God had divinely judged that nation and their king to be DESTROYED and ISRAEL and KING SAUL were his means to do it. We see this repeated through out the Bible in many stories, Moses, Joshua, Samuel, Etc.

    Keep in mind these people were FREE from the guilt of the others blood.. they were wicked and God judged them. Now days Soldiers and military are sanctioned "Authorities" . If you are told to Kill you must obey especially in War. Romans 13 ALL AUTHORITY IS SET UP BY GOD- don't listen to people on here who give mere opinions - seek the Bible and what it says. We are in a God's a lover and would never do that kinda feel good culture. God has two parts LOVE AND JUSTICE -

    Say I ran into Hitler and God told me to kill him, before he had murdered millions of jews and others? At that point no one but God new what an evil man he was. He had committed no crime then, but killing him at that point would have saved millions of lives. You would have called me crazy to have listened to God then.

    Many people kill and say it's from God, when it probably isn't. But just because God has taken the life of some to save the lives of many doesn't mean he is a bad God. He gave us all our life, and he has every right to take it away if it is in the best interest for his children.

    Considering he told a man to kill his child for fear of want Yes. But the man agreed and that showed he had faith in God so god stopped him from killing his son in the end.

    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)

    i would comprehend the undeniable fact that Atheist are God's infants too and He loves them as much as all of us else, in line with threat the suited tactic is to grant each and each man or woman the excellent element relating to the doubt, a minimum of in the beginning up. each question, certainly and truly responded, provides that man or woman a huge gamble to hearken to the gospel. yet while that man or woman is in simple terms arguing, being opposed, or in any different case no longer open, it’s probable time to bypass alongside. some persons are completely, thoroughly, and truly hardened to the gospel (Proverbs 29:a million). they could be rational, or irrational, yet there are scriptural motives to have self belief that some persons are willingly resistant to the effect of the Holy Spirit (Genesis 6:3). as quickly as we've made a stable-faith attempt to speak to somebody, and he or she or he's unreachable, then we are commanded to “shake the dirt off” of our footwear (Luke 9:5) and spend our time speaking to people who're greater spiritually open. As in all issues, the expertise of God is mandatory. God has promised that expertise to us if we ask (James a million:5), and we ought to continually pray for it and have confidence God’s prompting to correctly known how and while to break off the communique with a opposed atheist.

    In my opinion absolutely not. God is quite capable of taking a person out any time he chooses to. Why bother with telling a person to do it with all the inherent problems.

    Many have murdered in the name of God, and many still do today, so according to what you see some people do one in fact would do that!

    If you ask me those people are just delusional, deities don't exist.

    No I don't, most people who have had this must have some mental illness. Even if it were God to tell to do that I would deny it.
