From the bible.are these moral acts?

"Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ***… " 1Samuel15:2

"Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and woman.." Ezekiel9:5

"And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God." Samuel 6:7 -- God kills because a man tries to keep the ark from falling over!

"And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them." 2Kings2:24 -- Children!

"Now behold, I have two daughters who have not had relations with man; please let me bring them out to you, and do to them whatever you like; only do nothing to these men, inasmuch as they have come under the shelter of my roof." Gen19:8 -- Lot offers his daughters to a mob!

"When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are." Exodus 21:7

"For I, the Lord, your God, am a jealous God, inflicting punishment for their father's wickedness on the children of those who hate me, down to the third and fourth generation" Exodus 20:4 -- God punishes children for what their parents do?

"The servant will be severely punished, for though he knew his duty, he refused to do it." Luke 12:47 Jesus approves slavery!

"Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ… " Ephesians 6:5 --Again, slavery.

"I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet." Timothy 2:12

"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law." Matthew 10:34

"Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the Kingdom of God; but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables, that, 'seeing they may see, and not perceive, and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted and their sins should be forgiven them." Mark 4:12 -- Jesus didn't really want people to understand his gospel, because they might be saved!

I have included some new testament, because many seem to think that is a 'kinder' book. I understand the premise that God supposedly created the 'law' and therefor cannot break it, but if God can himself kill, condone slavery, kill children, be such a sexist… what makes his law 'moral?'
