It kinda does... Their is a whole rule book to being 'Christian' if one does not follow the rule book, then how can one say he is Christian?
Can I be Atheist and believe in God? No?!?! why not? Oh, your right! their are rules to being an Atheist the primary being one can not believe in God, if he is to claim the title Atheist.
Like wise if their is no command to kill Jews, infact their is a probation on killing in general, then to kill would put one outside the 'rules' of being a bible based Christian. And isn't that what we are talking about in this thread? The followers of the God of Abraham?
They are following the rule book. That's why "true christian" is such a useless term. You can find parts of the bible that justify anything, and it's such a contradictory mess of writings that it's practically impossible to follow the entire thing front to back. that's why you have schisms. Different people following different parts of the bible breaking off because they can't agree on which is more important.
There are lots of commands to kill. Jesus even suggested killing at least once, and made clear at one point that he isn't here to bring peace, but a sword. To tear families apart. That leads to one of the big contradiction in the NT. at one point he said if you hate your brother you're a murderer, and murderers don't get into heaven. But he also says if you don't hate yourself and your family you're not worthy of him.
