(Assuming you have children or will)
Would you kill them to show your love for "God" like Abraham had attempted?

The Bible says that you're supposed to love god more than your parents/ kids

Why do you capitalize weird words that don't need capitalization?
Well to answer your question I haven't heard the audible voice of God in my life. And you do know that the Abraham story was a picture God was painting to demonstrate how He would give His Son for US to save us from our punishment of sin, right?

There was a purpose for that test of Abraham...fast forward to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ where God didn't spare His Son. That is how much God loves us!! All so we may be forgiven and live with Him in heaven!! He is a great and awesome God.

If God asks it then it would be in His perfect will and there would be no questioning the logic. SO if God would ask it of me, I would hope I were just as willing as Abraham was. That may not be he answer you were hoping for, but I hope I could follow God's will as intently even if it is not logical.

They would say that god dosent make these sort of requests anymore. They would also forget about god being supposedly unchanging.
That is what is known as being "luke warm" to christians. I love it when christians choose what they want to regarding their own doctrine.
According to the bible, god made quite a few requests along the lines of killing your own children or somthing of great value to the believer. real friendly diety:0

I will not kill or even attempt to kill my children, no matter what any god says.
I think most christians would answer differently if they call themselves bibe-believing christians...
Luke 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children,and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

i don't have kids-waaay too young... but God only asked Abraham that to know that Abraham still trusted Him... People in those days used to sacrifice their firstborn to show that they trusted and had faith in their god, whatever their religion was... that was their ideal major offering -the most you can do- to show their gods that they had loyalty in them. God showed Abraham that He would provide-so he sent the ram... People thought that they had to sacrifice their firstborm to get to God... God sent His firstborn to get to Us

If God told me to kill them, like He did to Abraham.

No, I wouldn't. I doubt that there are any that actually would. This story is one of the things in the Bible that makes me believe that not everything in it is meant to be taken literally.

No. I would think I had gone crazy or such an evil order wasn't from God.
