Again, that's from the point of view of someone who believes that God actually talks to people, and tells them to do things. It's a dangerous thing to believe.

Well, the NT killings do show parallels with the OT, or "under the Law" argument, and I might argue that they occurred as "types," so that we may see more fully "a sin without forgiveness" or something...but I would find it hard to believe that killing from God would occur in this dispensation? After Christ came and showed literally the opposite? Make that impossible to believe.
That God is perfect is essentially not understandable with our minds, also, so really, how far do you need to go down this path to trust God? My point being that either God tells people to kill today, or prolly not, and they are deluded; and God killed people in the past, and made a record of it, for you to assimilate.
