Why did God tell the Israelites to kill when God says Do not murder?
A distinction is made between killing for selfish reasons and killing for patriotic or theological reasons, although that distinction is merely implied, rather than stated in the bible. The commandment "Thou shalt not kill" is really intended to mean "Thou shalt not kill on your own initiative, only kill the people I tell you to kill".Answer:This is where we get into the spirit of the command: Do not murder. The whole of the Ten Commandments focuses on relationships, between God and man. God gave the Israelites these laws because He wanted them to love both God and each other. God knew that if the unGodly nations are not removed, they would influence the Israelites and draw them to wickedness. So because God loved the Israelites, the wicked nations had to be destroyed.

Why is suicide wrong to religion?
There are two reasons that suicide is considered wrong to Christians. The first reason is that suicide is murder, no matter who you kill, it is murder and the Bible says not to murder. Second, God has a person's live all planned out for them. God knows what is going on in a person's life and it has a reason. So the person should trust God and believe that God has a plan for their life and not just end it becasue they think they need to. Why should they decide when their life shall end? God already has decided that and they should just let God be in control of their life and trust in Him.
Suppose you see a man about to murder his own child in obedience to the command of god what will you do in the first place will you believe him?

Does god allow you to kill yourself?

How does the bible explain the contradiction between the command not to kill and gods destruction of the Egyptian people and other killings and executions brought about by god by gods own admission?
There is no contradiction here. The 6th commandment says, "You shall not murder" (Exodus 20:13, ESV). In the biblical sense, there is a difference between murdering someone and killing someone. Murder is when you kill an innocent person. The bible says "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23, ESV), but to kill an innocent person is to kill someone for any reason besides righteous judgment. If you kill someone, not as a punishment for something he or she did wrong, but for a selfish reason, you are committing murder. However, if you simply kill someone to defend yourself from that person's attacks (ie. in war), you are doing nothing wrong. When the Israelites killed people by God's commands, they weren't commiting murder. Rather, they killed others as a righteous judgment for what these people did wrong. Their sins greatly angered God and had to be dealt with.
