Wow, forgive me for failing to think you meant to ask me if I would kill children?..... It's just so....vastly far from anything I'd imagine you meant to ask me personally. Myself.
People have to forgive others, else humanity will end in war.
Is it that you really meant to ask me personally if I would kill an infant????
That's so far away from any possible reality that I didn't imagine you were asking me personally.
Of course I would not.
I'm truly surprised you didn't already guess that easily.
Of course, this answer might instantly raise this question to me next: "Are you a pacifist?"
Because of course wars involve inevitably the situation of
a lot of innocent people being killed, every time, in every war, without any expectation (I doubt even one in all of history).
Answer: yes, I am, because I'm under then New Covenant established by Christ. I can only take defensive actions, and might have to surrender my mere physical life too, of course!
Now, I'm curious -- what about you? Do you endorse some wars, even though those wars will with complete certainty result in many innocent people, likely also infants too, being killed?
What is your own position?
To understand the idea the rules changed with Christ, consider this very telling passage --
2At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them.
3The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group
4and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.
5In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women.Now what do you say?”
6They were using this question as a trap,in order to have a basis for accusing him.
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger.
7When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”
8Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there.
10Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
11“No one, sir,” she said.
“Then neither do I condemn you,”Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”

See what happened there?
Capital punishment got ended. No more of it, for His followers.
That's just indicative of how big changes happened.
In all the world, there had not been such a powerful challenge to how things are, such a
profound revolution (instead of merely a confused revolution).
Jesus of Nazareth was revolutionary, radical.
He still is, today. It's still a revolution, and isn't ending yet.
He said only "few" would take the "narrow road" He is telling us to take. His own wording.
