The reason the midianite women were killed is that they had been the ones who originally caused the Israelites to sin. ( Ahh!!! You just gave me a way out blame someone else for my sins, and then ask god if I can murder/kill them)

The bible does not say, "Thou shalt not kill", that is a mistranslation of "Thou shalt not murder". If it did say, "Thou shalt not kill" then we would all have to be vegetarians, for "thou shalt not kill" is not human specific, "Thou shalt
not murder" is.

The bible translates as kill, but anyway your logic is that if you think God has told you to murder someone, it is ok

Nu 31:17
Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.

Alan: Please be kind in your answers with your brothers and sisters in Christ. When someone doesn't agree with you, it doesn't necessarily mean that their response is an inadequate answer; or that your perception is the final authority.

We are, all of us, on a journey to find the truth. None of us has attained perfect knowledge...yet.

Everybody has the right to an opinion.

Thank you kindly, Sir.
