It was actually somewhat rare for God to order the killing of children and those were apparently extraordinary circumstances, the details of which we are not given. The fact is that had Israel done what they had been told to do, they wouldn't have had so many depraved humans around to influence them to grievous sin. But we are in a different time since the advent of Christ. What did Jesus say about little children? And I was speaking of the present not the past.
Huh? I would ask “you can’t be serious?”, but we both know you are.
1 Samuel 15:3...kill all Amalekites, even children and infants.
Deuteronomy 2:34...they utterly destroyed Heshbon, men, women, and children.
Deuteronomy 3:3...destroyed Bashan completely till no one(including infants) was left.
Joshua 6:21...utterly destroyed Jericho, both young and old, both man and woman.
God has commanded the killing of MANY babies. By your standards, you’re making God cruel.
