If God asked you to kill your child like He asked Abraham to do would you? Why or why not?

lots of people still send their kids to be killed in the name of god even today.
i wouldnt. personally i think abraham failed his test. he was supposed to realize that even to god one can say "no".

God would not ask me to kill my child. He killed His own child before He would kill mine. Abraham and Isaac on Mt. Moriah were a foreshadow of what was yet to come as was many things in the Old Testament. God gave His Son Jesus who died to redeem you and me.

Of course not. God asked Abraham to kill his child knowing full well that Abraham would not do it and would show his true love for the child. God knew before he asked that Abraham would not do it.

Uh, no. I wouldnt because that would be condradictory of God and wouldn't make any sense, that's why I also wouldn't read the bible again if he asked me to..

Even 'if' god adequately proved himself no. He can send me to the deepest pits of hell and I will yell from the pits that he is barbaric and evil for asking a father to murder his son.

Of course not! But I would go see a phys. as I have no belief in gods and hearing voices would tip me off that something was wrong.

only if i got to check out heaven first....and he told me i was going there....and he could adequately prove that i wasn't losing my mind. and he could promise i wouldn't spend the rest of my life in jail for killing a kid.

If the Christian god told me to do anything I would shrug it off as temporary mental illness.

Well yes even though i would be absolutely devastated, because there must be a significant reason. He wouldnt ask without justification.
