228 – He who will not slay when God bids him, works in the world an incalculable havoc.
229 – Respect human life as long as you can; but respect more the life of humanity.
230 – Men slay out of uncontrollable anger, hatred or vengeance; they shall suffer the rebound now or hereafter; or they slay to serve a selfish end, coldly; God shall not pardon them. If thou slay, first let thy soul have known death for a reality and seen God in the smitten, the stroke and the striker.
In what kind of circumstances does God give the command to slay?
This is a question I cannot answer, because God has never asked me to slay.
