And why did He not attack or defend against those who murdered Him? Wasn't it it for your sake? He could have called legions of angels. But then you would never have been saved.

So yes God has killed in the past and will kill again.. And in the past He ordered Hs followers to Kill also.He used them as implements of His wrath.
But we as human followers of God, both in the OT and in our current age need to believe Gods message whether it be in relation to violence or divorce.. The worst thing we can do is go against His revealed will for us and try to justify our actions against his message.. Of course we break every teaching Jesus gave us in His Word but as long as we believe in his Word and acknowledge our transgressions against His World we will remain covered by His Atoning Blood.. As Blue-ladybug said::
""" But thank God that He is more merciful than I and many others here are """
Loving and acknowledging the truth is way more important then our faulty ability to live up to the standards of His truth..
