1. I said my "first" example, not my second. Look back
2 and 3. Numbers 31:7 - "They attacked Midian just as the LORD had commanded Moses, and they killed all the men. "
Since when would God want to avenge someone? Can't control his temper?
Deuteronomy 20:10-14 - "As you approach a town to attack it, first offer its people terms all the people inside will serve you in forced labor. But if they refuse to make peace and prepare to fight, you must attack the town When the LORD your God hands it over to you, kill every man in the town. But you may keep for yourselves all the women, children livestock, and other plunder. You may enjoy the spoils of your enemies that the LORD your God has given you"
So God is in involved with the killing and approves it.
4. Well if Jesus did say that, think of it this way. There are a lot of repulsive things in the Old Testament, and if God wrote and/or inspired the OT, and if Jesus is God, then he DID approve of those things regardless of Jesus mentioning them or not.
