This question is not religion-specific in any way and is just a hypothetical situation.
Here's the thing sport.
God told us not to follow any new or direct revelations if the contradict how we are told to live in the bible.

The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
