Of course killing is consistent with the Bible. The commandment which is wrongly translated "though shall not kill" really translates into "thou shall not commit manslaughter." From the Holy Wars of the Jews to the current day where chaplains bless soldiers heading into battle, there is no prohibition against killing in a just cause, and it is presumed that there are times when God will direct believers to kill. (Christians, of course, must kill with love and regret, but they still may kill when directed to in a just cause.) (Of course, I happen to belong to one of those cults which rejects this, but that's another story. Standard Judaism and Christianity in no way oppose killing.)
