His holiness demands a response to unrighteousness, even while He still loves us. In effect, it's not murder, it's Holiness. It's a cause and effect.
He's offered a way to escape the curse we've brought on ourselves through disobedience. If we decline, we continue to die and are condemned. If we accept His love, we don't. It's a picture of a Saving God, not a "I Gotcha" God.

Try putting a human mind around that.
If grace is an ocean, we're all sinking...
But God set it up that way, rigiht? He made the rules. And, being God, He could have set it up differently. Besides, the poll doesn't say anything about murder. It says "kill".
