The problem with your 'what if...' God's law is complete.

You have missed the point which is that because of the "special" leeway you give to the god character then anything done by someone thinking they are doing his will becomes moral in the mind of the deranged.
You can use this mindset to excuse any evil. Sure as eggs are eggs you can find support in the bible for any nasty thing you like. You say that the bible says nothing on boiling babies so it could never come up, but hang on, didn't you also say he was in contact with people today all you need to do is A/S/K and he could tell you to boil babies. He does seem to tell a lot of people do evil shit.
Everything you said here is absolutely true, About popular morality. The thing is with an absolute unchanging standard you can not justify anything on the list.
That's where morality comes in. It takes the absolute unchanging standard and makes provisions for 'some sin.' Sin society counts as small and would still allow one to be considered a 'good person.'
I do indeed see what you are saying. in that you think that because God could have put anything in his Law including boiling and eating babies, we would follow said law. That we gave Him unrestricted free reign to set the standard for good and sin. This is all true. However as I pointed out your hypothetical of boiling and eating babies nor any other horrific evil can never be considered nor counted as apart of God's law. God's law has been closed for over 2000 years. So whatever people 'claim' to be in the name of God but is not found in the bible is not 'for God'. It is not apart of Biblical Christianity, and it is not apart of His law. Therefore it can not be used to justify service of God in any way shape or form.
That would be an example of evil men using God as an excuse to allow the evil in their hearts to play out, and hoping you are too stupid to know any better.
As are as being in contact with people, this is true. However the only way we have to discern who is speaking with us (ourselves/Delusion or Satan) is to take what is said and hold it up to scripture to make sure both jive with one another.
a 'spirit of light'/angel supposedly set up Islam and Mormonism. He was well dressed and inspired both 'prophets' to go off path of scripture. Jesus Himself warns us of this very thing.
