No this idea of yours is abhorrent and shows the paucity of what passes for thinking in some theists.
Just because you or others like you want to assume the worse so you can live a little better than the worst somehow figure yourselves better than God. The problem with your 'what if...' God's law is complete. Has been for 2000 years. so then Where is the command to make parents boil and eat babies??? their isn't such a command so I can say with 100% assuredness that such a command will never come up.
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.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
