If god commanded you to trick people into believing a "proof of god" miracle occurred, would you, for example, rig a crucifix to drip blood? Wouldn't this commandment from god be a test of your faith?
p.s. Before you call this test from god ridiculous, you might want to try reading the Bible again. It would fit right in.

If you say you would NOT do it you would be DISOBEYING god. Think about it.

If you say you WOULD do it you would be LYING to people with your rigged crucifix.
"Thou shalt not make wrongful use of the name of thy God."
"Thou shalt not bear false witness."

dewcoons: I didn't say it was IN the Bible, I said it would FIT in.

t d (and others): Did god tell Abraham to kill his own son?

I wouldn't do anything I thought was wrong, regardless of who told me to do it.
I have integrity, not religion.

Hiya Fella !
Can You See God?
Do you Know Him? His FAce!?... His Voice?
So you can't Solemnly say that truely that commandment is God's.
On the other hand It'd be a test of faith! As god Tested Abraham to kill Ismael. maybe when you were going to start doing that god would tell you "stop that" But Pay Attention Abraham Was Prophet and Muhammad Was THE LAST PROPHET so you can't be a prophet and that kindda difficult tests is Prophet's!!! God is justice and he won't test you like that!
the other opinion is that: maybe that's SATAN calling you doing bad thing! like telling abraham avoid killing his son.
but I can tell you 90 % He's Satan
I don't know too much about these things but I heard that Islam is Complete. and Surely Holy Koran Can help you more than HOLY BIBBLE.
I've heard that always there's answers for your questions in religious things in ISLAM
I've Heard that Koran has Everything. without Ambiguity!
but I've never been a Muslim 'cause my parents will punish me.
I just can research about it.
Think.
Bye.

god NEVER contradicts himself???
isn't there a commandment, er..LAW about NOT MURDERING???
"Then I heard the LORD say to the other men, "Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all – old and young, girls and women and little children. But do not touch anyone with the mark. Begin your task right here at the Temple." So they began by killing the seventy leaders. "Defile the Temple!" the LORD commanded. "Fill its courtyards with the bodies of those you kill! Go!" So they went throughout the city and did as they were told." (Ezekiel 9:5-7 NLT)
and what about that flood???

Remind me again of the book, chapter and verse where someone rigged up a fake crucifix....I can't seem to find it.
Nor can I find any other fake miracles commanded by God. The book is, however, full of real ones. And I have seen God perform hundreds more in my lifetime. Since miracles are real (and so is God) why would we fake them?

From God? Yes.
Some of the worst repercussions occurred in the Bible when people didn't listen to God...

See what the Bible says about it, & then follow the Bible's teaching.
God will not contradict His own Word!
It the voice you hear DOES contradict God's Word, It wasn't God talking to you! It was Satan, or one of his dermons!

If God gave an order that conflicted with consience, I would not beleive that it was God who gave it. If it was something hard or ridiculous I most certainly would, but if it conflicted with a Just, Loving, God, I would refuse.

If I really knew the command was from God, I would probably do it.

Apparently we're supposed to do wrong things... when God tells us to... Abraham about killed his son... and it was 'good'

God will never tell you to do something that is contrary to His Word.
if you think He has, then you are NOT hearing from God, but you are hearing from the enemy.
