In the Bible, there are many examples of God commanding people to kill.  So it isn't just a matter of God killing people Himself; God commands people to kill people.  So God isn't keeping his commands consistent.

"A wise man ... proportions his belief to the evidence."
— David Hume, An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, Section X, Part I.
