At least I don’t believe that God is a butcher of babies. Whereas, goats do!
The Christian Dilemma: The problems of trying to reconcile belief in a God of love, that is said to be a butcher of children?
Having been made spiritually blind through observing doctrines of faith in what men have said of God rather than in God alone, a priestly millstone is placed around the necks of Christians: How to justify belief in a God of love, who is said to have commanded the slaughter of children?
When the captives of that House of Bondage are confronted with vile things said of God in 1 Samuel 15:2-3, an imposed unrighteous fear of God compels them to try and rationalize away what they not only intuitively know has been irrationally said of God, but wickedly said of God. For the requirements of the priestly religions of bondage is an unquestioning faith in the divine inspiration of the Bible. A requirement that demands the crucifying of the mind so that what is obvious can be denied. For it is by the crucifying of their mind to deny the obvious that the captives of the Houses of Bondage render themselves to become both a deceiver and the deceived.
For it is not out of love of God, nor love of truth, but an unrighteous fear of God that causes them to try and justify the wicked deeds of 1 Samuel 15:2-3 by either dishonestly claiming that such things said of God are beyond our understanding. Or by claiming that although what is said of God in 1 Samuel 15:2-3 may seem wicked, God, nevertheless, commanded these things for a righteous purpose. And they offer every imaginable scenario of how hacking defeated men, women and little children to death could be righteous. It is by these deceitful efforts to avoid being truthful concerning 1 Samuel 15:2-3 and other similar scriptures that the priestly pollution of their mind is made manifest to all who are not spiritually blind.
Now though a goat has no trouble in believing what is said of God in 1 Samuel 15:2-3 the sheep most certainly do, and thus, being troubled by such things they purposely seek to avoid personalizing what is claimed of God in1 Samuel 15:2-3. For they know that to personalize such things it would forced to be truthful with what they are most fearful of; questioning what the Bible has said of God.
For they know that if they had to truthfully testify as to whether or not they would have been obedient to the commands of 1 Samuel 15:2-3, their faith in the credibility of the Bible would be challenged. For if they were to say that they would have participated in hacking men, women, and little children to death, they would be acknowledging that their spiritual nature is one with the religious terrorist of today. But on the other hand, if they said they would have refused to participate in that ungodly slaughter, in essence, they would be claiming to be more righteous than that perverse one of bloody sacrifices whom they falsely claim to adore.
Children of God, dung is dung regardless of where it is found. And those claiming to be called of God, yet claims it was God who commanded the perverse things of 1 Samuel 15:2-3 are but self-called preachers of dung! For who has said to you that God did such vile things, was it priests or God?
Children of God, what say you? Does the Spirit of Truth confirm within your Spiritual heart that what is said of God in 1 Samuel 15:2-3 speaks truthfully of your heavenly Father?
1 SAMUEL 15:2-3 Thus says the Lord of hosts, 'I will punish the Amalekites for what they did in opposing the Israelites when they came up out of Egypt. (3) Now go and attack Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have; do not spare them, but KILL both man and woman, CHILD AND INFANT, ox and sheep, camels and donkey!

It serves neither God nor truth to try and rationalize irrational things the Bible says of God.
