Why God commanded the killing of infants?

Without further miscommunication, I’ll just say that I don’t suppose any questions would be off limits.. who is God, why does God, how does God.. or even how could God.. perhaps asking difficult questions is akin to “wrestling with God” which yields a blessing.. but the church would have me believe that asking difficult questions is akin to “attacking” God.
Questions lead to answers and true answers destroy the doctrine of the church. “The truth will set you free.”

Proverbs 25:2
It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

I think it must've been difficult for them to follow through..
Perhaps it may have been a test on whether they will OBEY God above everything.Reminds me of whomever loves brother,mother,sister more than Jesus,is not worthy to be his disciple.
His commandments are difficult to follow!

Rolihlala & everyone on BT,
My take on this is quite profound, God has given up his own & only Son, Jesus Christ, to be slaughtered in the most horrible way. This was of course in the New Testament. Why do we continue to question God's sovereignty instead of accepting it? Why do we continue belittling God to the statue of a human? He is way above that & as those who are starting to see the truth, it's kind of ludicrous to still ask this questions in the way you do. "Has there been evil in the City & God has not done it?

I agree Floyd. And these people are not dead to God. He is keeping them.
Wanda:
Floyd, out of all the contributions in this thread, this was certainly the most profound. Who can imagine sacrificing the life of any of their children, for any reason. The first time I read the horrors of death by crusifiction, I was inconsolable. I've never forgotten it and I never will.
I knew from that moment I had to know this God who was filled with that kind of love.
Thank you Floyd
John from Kentucky:
Jesus would tell them that death is sleep. But they laughed at Him. They did not think He knew what He was talking about.
All the dead. All the dead. Will wake up from their sleep by the power of the Great God.
Jesus will save everyone. Everyone will live in peace and happiness and prosperity forever and ever. No one will be left out or forgotten.
As it is written by God, "All will know Me, from the least to the greatess."
