This is what one angry skeptic wrote to me about the killing of the Midianite children:-
He also showed that he cared for the Isrealites. Here's what he told them they could get from the Midianites:
17 Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man,
18 but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.
Numbers 31:17-18.
Here the Israelites are allowed to take Midianite virgins as sexual plunder. I guess God didn't care much for the Midianites, though. Don't try to play the "But the Midianites were sinful people!" because you know that, according to scripture, you deserve to die as much as the Midianites do. But you're going to be hard pressed to find scripture that supports being turned into slave-whores as just punishment for sin.
By the way, the "boys" in verse 17 are children. Here god doesn't just ignore the murder of children; he orders it.
Answer:
A detail of the account reveals that God commanded the deaths of those people... not Moses. The Bible also reveals that the Creator Lord God who commanded it was none other than Jesus Christ -- [John 1:3].
"And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites..." (Num.31:1).
Also... no charges of murder were ever leveled against Moses for it in the Bible -- so, there was nothing to be absolved of.
Plus, it's pretty certain, in keeping with the progression of things throughout the Old Testament, that God [Jesus] would have killed Moses for disobeying Him had he not complied with His command.
Like God's church, today... the Israelites were ruled by God, not Moses... or any other man. God was their King and Ruler. He was their Sovereign King to whom they were responsible, and to whom they vowed OBEDIENCE.
"...if ye will OBEY MY VOICE indeed, and keep My covenant, then shall ye be a peculiar treasure UNTO ME above all people: for all the earth is Mine: and ye shall be UNTO ME a Kingdom of Priests, and an Holy nation..." (Ex.19:5-6).
"And all the people answered together, and said, All that the Lord hath spoken WE WILL DO..." (verse 8).
Nowhere in the "Midianite" account is the word "murder" offered [certainly, not by God; Jesus Christ]. It's men in their hauteur who level those charges against God outside of the Bible.
