228—He who will not slay when God bids him, works in the world an incalculable havoc. 229—Respect human life as long as you can; but respect more the life of humanity. 230—Men slay out of uncontrollable anger, hatred or vengeance; they shall suffer the rebound now or hereafter; or they slay to serve a selfish end, coldly; God shall not pardon them. If thou slay, first let thy soul have known death for a reality and seen God in the smitten, the stroke and the striker.

In what kind of circumstances does God give the command to slay?
This is a question I cannot answer, because God has never asked me to slay.
