I think it's a safe thing to say that "if" that were to happen everyone who says yes they'd be okay with it..wouldn't. They'd fight to protect their child until they were destroyed themselves. (that's what a loving parent would do)

What is with this far out hypothetical questions? If Scientist found that monkeys are more intellegent than Darwinists, would you be okay with it? It won't happen. I do remember Egypt. Isreal saved their children. God didn't want to kill children, the Egyptians didn't believe Him despite the previous plagues.
If the weather service said there was a tornado coming toward your house, you didn't believe it, and it killed your children, would that be the tornados fault or yours?

Sorry, but this is an idiotic question. I am sure you have a much better mind than this reflects. ANYTHING coming here claiming to be God and telling people to murder their first-born children would not be God, it would either be something unspeakably evil or an abortionist. Sorry about the redundancy there. God has made it more than clear that He condemns human sacrifice, that is why He gave us a written record of his dealings with people who did and still do such things, along with a set of rules He wants us to live by.
He has not changed His mind. The ONE time he instructed someone to commit a human sacrifice was a test, and only a test. He stopped it before it could be done.

You do not understand the whole concept of the story of the killings of the firstborn or you would not have typed this as a question, or at least not have worded it in such a way. Try reading it again and then think about the question you just asked. Besides I think he gave those people that believed in Him, a way to keep their children from being killed, if He didn't then you need to get a Bible and not someone's interpretation who also didn't read it.

Old Testament and taken out of Context.
You cannot fight God, and God did not kill the children of the people that believed in him, that was the only way for God to free his people from the slavery of the Egyptians.
And again, Old Testament.
It sure is nice to live in these times!

I'd plead with Him, yes, but ultimately my rebellion would be futile. Think about it.
You don't have to be OK with what you do for God at first. You just obey and trust, and then later on you see why He wanted something done the way He ordered it done.
In regard to Egypt: He always gives a way out. In that case, all you had to do was take the blood of a lamb and put it on your doorposts.

I don't think fighting would help but then I do not think God would do that remember in Egypt before when moses was a baby the pheroe ordered the killing of all baby boys

God didn't kill the first born of the believers. The faithful believers were allowed to put blood of a lamb on their doorposts. They were spared when the death angel passed by their homes. (Thus Passover)
God is a jealous and wrathful God. America is turning it's back on God. God WILL get our attention. Remember Egypt?
Remember the ancient Israelites?

Obey God the creator.
Read the verses from the Holy Bible.
Jhn 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Act 5:29 Then Peter and the [other] apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
Act 5:30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
Act 5:31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand [to be] a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
Act 5:32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and [so is] also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Hbr 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once [for all].
Rom 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
Hbr 13:20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
Hbr 13:21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Which god are you serving? In Egypt, He was doing something special for His people. Even the Egyptians had the option to put the blood on their door post but didn't. God came to give us Eternal Life.

You're telling us to remember Egypt, but do you?
The Egyptians didn't follow God. The pharoah brought that curse on his own people out of his own frustrations.
*And to answer your question (petty as it may seem), no, I wouldn't. Because God wouldn't do that to his "Children". Only non-believers... REMEMBER EGYPT.
