You see when I answered your question before I said I knew God's mind to a point because He had revealed things to me. He revealed He wasn't a liar, nor could He be. God as already stated in the Bible that murder was a sin, for God to say to me murder wasn't a sin would then be a lie. God doesn't lie so He wouldn't tell me murder wasn't a sin, now the old devil might try that trick, however I would know better because Jesus said that those who are His would recognize His voice.
Sooo, you're an Israelite. And god says: "thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee."
So what do you do?
And please, just answer the question. Do you kill these people in droves? Yes or no?
If I were a part of the Israelite nation at that time yes I do, it had a purpose for God's people, the innocent in those wars were given eternal life, those who betrayed God long ago and influenced their children down through the ages were being punished. This is totally different in every aspect as to what was purposed. When God said that the sins of the fathers was punished throughout many generation was because the fathers taught the children and the sin went on and on, until it became a vile life against God.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
