Why order people to kill in god's name at all?

[Godscreated]

God promised the land long before the Ten Commandments.

So he promised the land to the other people first? Doubtful, otherwise they would have just left and the Isrealites wouldn't have to fight. I still think it's stupid to tell people thta you rescued that now they have to fight and die for their new land instead of just giving them other land. I'd say it's just a group of people that needed new land after getting kicked out of their old land, not "freed" by a deity, and they decided to start worshiping a Canaanite war god to try to take other people's land.

This whole exodus story doesn't really hold water any better than the other stories.

Your thoughts about them worshiping a Canaanite war god has no historical acknowledgement, even though you do not accept the Bible as holding history many non-believing archaeologist believe it contains accurate history. Just exactly what land would God have given them, the known world was populated.
God promised this land even though at the time it was populated, the scriptures tell us this. God was punishing those who occupied the land because of their worship of false gods and a lot of that worship had child sacrifice going on. The Israelites were to wipe the land clean so they would not be influenced by these false religions. They didn't and thus the OT turned out to describe the punishment of Israel for their disobedience, they were removed from the promise land for not obeying, just as Adam and Eve was removed from the garden for their disobedience. Jesus is the reason the Israelites have returned to the promise land and the reason Christians will be allowed back into the garden.

I might be able to believe that he improved himself morally in the thousand years between the torah and New Testament bible, but this guy is supposed to be perfect, and the very definition of what is good and righteous in the universe. You can't just ignore the old testament, unless you separate Jesus as much as possible from Yahweh. Something they obviously didn't do, since he's supposed to be either the always loyal son of Yahweh, or just Yahweh in human form. He's not even that much better either, with claims like thinking something is the same as doing it, and that you shouldn't prepare for the future because the world is going to end very soon.

You misunderstand what Christ said, plain and simple, try reading it again and see if you can be responsible enough to yourself to find the answer.
