Sorry, I've been gone for awhile. Since Jesus atoned for our sins by his sacrifice on the cross, God doesn't call for this type of actions. Jesus took God's wrath upon himself for us. If you think God is telling you to do something that he forbids you to do in scripture, like murder, you must always be suspect. Hypothetically speaking, though, if God were to tell me to do this and I was 100% sure it was him, then I would do it. God makes decisions with eternity in perspective and his actions are always for the good for those concerned. I just don't think that this would ever happen. Of course we can talk about someone who really believes that God is speaking to them when he isn't. This can happen whether it's religiously motivated or brought on by some other completely different factors. Someone could think his mother was telling him to do this instead of God. Or he could just do it because he thinks it's a good idea. On the other hand, he could really want to do it, but keep from doing it because he knows or believes that God doesn't want him to do it.
