I doubt God commanded any body to kill, man does do to his own initiative. You can take the example of Sahara Ab's. wife as she war trying to help ,so God's promises be fulfilled to Abraham.
1 Samuel 15:
Thus says the Lord of hosts: "I will punish Amalek for what he did to Israel, how he ambushed him on the way when he came up from Egypt. Now go and attack Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and do not spare them. But kill both man and woman, infant and nursing child, ox and sheep, camel and donkey."
It's the Bible though. The part most Christians have learned to ignore. Now, it's just the rest of it people need to ignore.I don't know about that . Those prophets had writers and the prophet was not necessary a literate person , that could be a political encouragement for the Israeli to fight Amelakites . but this is my view.
Apparently god let it get past the editors and into the final edition, so he must've approved it...I might disagree with such behavior but to kill a person who practices sodomy , is a no no . God will not say in one situation thew shall not kill the turn around and the say go and kill . In the old testament I believe there are some writing done by man and using the name of God to do their own desires and bad doings.

Irrelevant. It's either the word of god or it isn't. You can't pick and choose as to which parts you think are of god and which parts are superfluous. If god is all powerful and he wants us to have his message, then what we have must've been approved by god.And who were the editors ?
