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.
I'd like an explanation for your claim that killing children is justifiable.
Go.
If you can't justify it, you're confused over what the Bible actually says.

It's our nature to want to kill other people. Using a deity as a reason is simply an excuse that lessens the guilty.
It's not my nature to want to kill other people. Perhaps it is the nature of brutes but the capacity to be rational is what separates those brutes from the rest of us.
