This topic has so much to unpack I don't know where to start. I can actually think of a couple of Bible verses you may be alluding to. Let me stick to the one about killing your neighbor's family including their baby but keeping the virgin daughter alive for myself.
I say there is a lot to unpack because looking at context in the Bible, God doesn't command his people to kill their neighbors. The context this command was given was under the circumstance of war. Just War doctrine actually allows you to kill combatants but prohibits violence against non-combatants. As such, the children would have to be left unharmed.

Let's move this conversation forward. I won't assume anymore. In what scenario are you talking about? Of if the question is alluding to a bible passage, please cite.
I hate that statement so much. So "evangelical". Unpack....Did god write his children a murder mystery so they'd be so thoroughly confused that they would require a degree in forensics to get the message? It's just a ridiculous concept. If I spoke to my children in riddles and mysteries I would seriously question my parenting abilities.
JOC read cybers comment... now try again!
Okay. Moving forward. I think I made the mistake of assuming you had something in mind. Please spell it out for me. Coz as the question stands, it is nonsensical. It's like you asking me what if my dad asked me to kill my mom and rape my sisters. It's simply something my dad will never ever ask of me and as such, a question I don't have to worry about.
