No, I wouldn't. He only asked one man to do this and there is a reason why. Abraham was asked to do this because it was a forshadowing of things to come. Abraham having tremendous amount of faith knew God could bring his son back to life again and he was being obedient. It forshadowed the coming of Christ and how the Father in heaven would have to sacrifice His son. Once God saw how faithful Abraham was He stopped the sacrifice, never intending to let it go through all of the way anyway. Christ came and was sacrificed. So since He has already come there is no need for another savior or another sacrifice. He will not be telling us to kill any of our children, if someone is hearing that then they are hearing satan imitating what God did, saying that God told them to.

No.
Number 1 thing is how do you know it was God. How do you know you are not going crazy or somebody is playing a trick on you. Plus try explaining that to the judge. "No your honor, I was not actually going to kill my son. I was follwoing Gods order and I was assuming that at some point God would speak to me againg and tell me to stop like in the story in the bible". Yeah right. Speaking like this or worst, acting like this can win you a ticket to the loonny bin.

Abraham said yes. He was the first person who God revealed himself to. God spoke to him. Abraham showed us in figure that God was going to provide a savior for us. And God came himself in the form of a man to die for us. If I had a son and were asked to sacrifice his life then I would know it wasn't God talking to me, but I would sacrifice my own life if he asked me to.

No, Jesus made the utltimate sacrifice. Human sacrifice is no longer required. Besides, Abraham didn't have to go through with it anyway.

No
My God told me not to kill
Any "God" asking me to kill is a false God, testing me or should know better for God can take a life with a single thought, why does God need me to do it.

Many men in biblibal days would have refused to do that, especially thier one and only son. But if god had said, oh look there is one of your daughters, caught in the thicket, he would not have thought twice.

Jesus paid the final sacrifice; God wouldn't tell me to make another. If he did, it would only be a test of obedience and faith, and intervent at the last moment to spare my son and reward my faithfulness. Otherwise, that wouldn't be in God's plan.

Absolutely not. I wouldn't sacrifice my kids or anyone else for that matter. God's just going to have to understand that my kids come first.

Never.
In fact, if somebody claiming to be "God" starting telling me to do wack things like kill somebody, I'd call up the men in white coats to come get him. Somebody like that is too dangerous to be allowed out.
