Would you, like this other lost Christian, murder if you thought God was instructing you to do so? Would you be a "hero of faith," like Jephthah who murdered his own daughter out of commitment to the Lord? Or would you, as I have to believe I would, face God's wrath and stand up for the principle that human life is valuable and to be appreciated, and disobey God?
Christians believe all murder is wrong. Murder being unlawful/ unjust killing.
God telling you to kill someone wouldn't be telling you to murder. Murder would be telling you to do what opposes God. Taking life lawfully would be perfectly OK. You need to work out your confused understanding of the text.
