I'm not telling God what he will do. He's told us what He will do.

Besides you've already agreed when you said since God gave us life it's perfectly within his objective moral to end someone's life.

It's within God's moral purview to judge sin, even through destroying sinners. He would be unjust not to punish sin at all since He is so holy.

If you're still having a hard time imagining this just pretend you lived 3000 years ago, they were, according to your own belief system, living through exactly what I just described.

They couldn't even subjectively disagree.

God didn't command people to kill others very often. It was a special decree to accomplish a specific purpose. It also didn't mean that God's chosen people could kill whoever they wanted to for any reason as if they had special permission. God gave the people His law and set boundaries in regards to what they could and couldn't morally do. Murder wasn't something that people were (or are) allowed to do.
