if god asked you to kill someone would you do it, also keep in mind that we have call waiting now(not like in abrahams day) so if he call you and asks you to off someone and then switches over to take the other call wait until he comes back he may change his mind then you would have killed someone for no reason.

i hope you all can see the humor in the question. It was meant to be funny. Is funny how if we say we hear voices we are considered crazy but if God talks to us!!!!! watch out you better listen to that crazy person

yes I believe he did ask abraham to off his son, or he was going to do it anyway as a sacrifice, cant remember, but either god changed his mind or told abraham that that if he wanted him dead he would do it himself I am GOD he proclaimed,
yea I think thats how it went

Yes I know, people have said they killed their kids because god told them. But what I find hard is the most christians have a hard time believing that god would tell someone to do such a bad thing.

in the old testament the punishment for nearly everthing was death so stop with all the god is a loving god, if we went by the old testament we would all be dead, problem with that is the church wouldnt survive.

If the government told you to kill someone would you do it? Thousands are doing it right now. But I would not.
I would obey God. But the standing order is "thou shalt not kill."
I expect those orders will be changed ...
"And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed." Revelation 11

If someone called you on the phone and said they were god and told you to kill someone not a person on this earth would believe it was actually god, not even the pope, unless they had some kind of mental illness. Consequently the mental illness probably caused the fabricated call in the first place.
If god talked to me in my head and told me to kill someone I'd go to a doctor. If "god" talked to me at all I'd probably see a doctor.

Obviously, some people will:
"Houston's FBI office has placed the fugitive daughter of a deceased Utah polygamist on the agency's "most wanted" list after getting a tip about the woman from a relative in prison."
"The elder LeBaron ordered the executions of rival polygamists in the 1970s, investigators have said. In 1972 he was convicted in Utah of ordering family members to kill his brother, who was said to have disobeyed church laws."

Your intent may have been humor, but there are lots of people who murder other people on the orders of God. Two women in Texas recenty (last year) murdered their kids after God told them to do so. Or, so they claimed.
Most Christians appear to be in deep denial about their history & activities of people within their own communities. A preacher in Tennessee (???) was recently murdered by his wife and thumpers immediately began claiming she wasn't a "real Christian," or made other excuses for her behavior.

In all the Holy Books the loving God forbids man to kill.
If any man says the reverse, we see right away that he is false believer or false god.

Muslims do it all the time. Religion of peace right? All the crazies that say god directed them to do it, craziness. Religion is a tool to control the masses, wake up!

All these christians saying that their god would not do that apparently never read the bible.
God was constantly telling people to kill eachother in the OT.

Yeah, religion can be violent.
Rememer, there has never been an atheist who went on a cross-country killing spree because he didn't hear god not call to tell him to.

Have u heard of that story? there's a story like this in the bible, God asked a guy to kill his son, the guy was so sad, he was gonna do it, but when he was about to do it God stopped him and said that he was just testing his faith!

The commandment says "Thou shall not kill". If the command is to kill someone, it is definitely not from God.
