(assume that you are not mistaken that the order comes from god.)
2. if not, or if you claim that god would never ask such a thing from you, how can you claim that morals come from god?

Very good point.
In stating all morals coming from a God, people actually say we humans have no control over knowing wrong from right. That God programmed us to know wrong from right, and we actually follow God's orders.
If God would exist, then all his followers should obey such an order as you just described, because God gives them their moral code.

God should never do this , no matter anyone say , be it the greatest religious leader . If someone receives such a command , it certainly comes from The Other , mankind`s enemy . The Bible says that sometimes Satan turns into a lightning angel . We need to be very close to God , and " heart-cleaned " , to perceive the truth and separate the good from the evil . There was the history of Abraham and his son , but its meaning is just God never allow killing someone dear . His command was a " trap " , a test for Abraham`s faith , and was just destinated to prove that never such command is to be fulfiled . On the other side , Abraham thought his son would be safe with God , God would never hurt him . I think he hoped God would change His decision , cause he knew His kindness , and he had total faith in Him .
So , we`ll never be wrong having faith , and following His laws . We must know He Himself follows the rules , and will never do something to harm people without reason . It was just the obedience to the laws , and His love for us , that made Him sending His son to ransome our sins. Mankind`s sins would have to be payed , and He couldn`t pass over the Law , but He found out a gentle way for us , by the sacrifice of His son .
As a conclusion , having faith and keeping on close to God , one never could be mistaken , cause God would guide him through the moving sands .

I think you are referring to Abraham and Isaac?
God had told Abraham that He would make a great nation out of Isaac,and Abraham believed God.So later when God told Abraham to take his son,his only son(sound familiar?) to Mt.Moriah(that Mt.was the very same Calvary of the New Testament)and sacrifice him ,if you read the passage ,Abraham says to his servants "I and the lad are going up and WE will return".Abraham believed God so much he knew that even if he killed him some how God would raise him and THEY would return.Isaac asked Abraham "Here is the wood and the fire but where is the sacrifice?"Abraham replied "God will provide (catch this) Himself,a lamb for sacrifice".After God stayed his hand there was a Ram(not a lamb) caught in a thicket which they sacrificed.See,2000 years later ,on that very mount,God provided himself a sacrifice ,the lamb of God Jesus.Now ,How did Abraham know that two millennia earlier? It just isn't in God's nature to do that but it is His prophetic nature to tell us things in advance.

If it is not written in the Word of God, it did not come from God. He would never tell us to do something that is different from what he has told us in his word. Even the devil can appear as an angel of light, so you would be mistaken if you believed that order came from God.
If you are talking about Abraham, he did not have the written word of God like we do today---he spoke with Him directly. We would not have that dilema today.

God would never ask me to murder anyone, because in His Word the Bible, He says Do not kill.
We all have a God given conscience too!
Read Romans chapter 1 verses 18-20
and 1 Corinthians chapter 1 verses 18-24

No , God might in all risk enable the devil to afflict adult males and girls with psychological ailments or actual ones like interest interior the historic testomony , He does besides the actuality that use the circumstances we detect ourselves in or placed ourselves in to be the easy interior the overpowering darkness. Like Jonah calling to the Lord on an identical time as interior the whale, Daniel and buddy being saved from a fiery furnace, Daniel sharing a cave with starving lions.... a number of those and a lot of greater advantageous examples show how God can do the no longer obtainable if youin case you call out to him on an identical time as in disadvantage, this is on an identical time as lots adult males and girls are receptive. as quickly as we are wholesome and thoroughly satisfied we oftentimes tend to bypass over God although in any kind of disadvantage God is there to ward off dropping us.

well its a fact you know nothing about God. Maybe because you don,t know if he exist since you are agnostic...So why do you care ?However I am going to answer your question...First off God would never ask you to kill anyone since killing is a sin...Well if you heard this and you are certain its God ,you need to feel that out cause I do believe you are hearing the voice of the devil.The reason I know God gives me morals is because I feel him in my heart,he directs my path,and I know his voice..Gods people know Gods voice just like a child knows its mothers voice...

Isn't that what Abraham was suppose to do? I'd tell God to stick it, that's not a very moral way to act. Then I'd go see a psychiatrist for the schizophrenia.

My God would not ask me to do something like that. It is not a question of morals, it is simply right or wrong and it that case it would be wrong to murder as it is in any other case of murder.

Little g god would be the devil in this case. I would rebuke the devil in the name of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Pray to God, why the devil told me to murder someone? Submit to God, resist satan and satan flees. Remember the most important is to submit to God. Satan is the murderer since the beginning. Satan is frightened when a child of God pray, obeys, submits to ones Father God or Lord Jesus Christ.
