Later murder WAS wrong. But, as you have noted, God is liable to overlook his treaties.
So one and the same book of Bible contains two mutually exclusive quotes. That's what I have been saying on the consistancy of Bible as a source.
Do you realize that this admission turns Bible from the ultimte authority bearing the word of God into a hearsay?
Since it contains mutually excluding statements (see above) it is useless.
The existence of denominations has many reasons (like political, economic, etc.) among which theological ones are among many but in no way dominant.
