You can easily reconcile that one. It doesn't even "apparently" contradict anything, except the commandment against murder. But just use the same method you use to reconcile that with God's OT commands to various people to kill someone, and in particular, Abraham's order to kill Isaac. (Don't bother mentioning that God stopped Abe. It has no bearing on this at all.) (Oh, and if you say that was OT and God doesn't tell anyone to kill anymore, prove it. And God Himself killed in the NT.)
