So I repeat: to whom would you place your allegiance - to your fellow man or to a god who some have used as justification for antisocial and murderous behaviour?
You are asking a different questions now so I will give you a different answers.
Your original question was "if the Bible said to kill, would I kill."
I responded by saying I wouldn't have to ever make that decision. My reason was because the Bible has already been written and I know that isn't the normative moral of the Bible's teaching.
Now your new questions have two parts.
If God commanded me to kill, would I?
And
Who is my allegiance to, God or man?
If God manifested himself to me in an undeniable way and commands me to kill, I would kill.
Since I know He is a loving God because I have experienced Him, I trust that He would use my actions for a greater good.
Who is my allegiance to, God or man? Hands down God.
