Re: Burning questions regarding christianity, the bible, etc. - killing/murder

Revelation 22:11 - GOD'S WORD
Let those who don't have God's approval go without it, and let filthy people continue to be filthy. Let those who have God's approval continue to have it, and let holy people continue to be holy."
Revelation 22:12 - GOD'S WORD
"I'm coming soon! I will bring my reward with me to pay all people based on what they have done.

In the Old Testament Jesus had not come to earth yet to reconcile man with God. He did in the New Testament, so in the New Testament there is no mention of God wanting someone to be killed.
Jesus came so we could have God's approval, but also so that at the end of one's life he/she will be judged. God does want to punish, but He gave man more chances by sending Jesus.

Anyway, that is how I see it. I hope it helps/makes sense.
