Let's say, like Abraham, God came down and asked you to sacrifice your child? Would you do that for him? Or would you draw the line and say "no"
What lines are there? I mean it's easy to say that "Oh god wouldn't ask me to do that!" (He asked Abraham to do it, so I don't see why not). Would you do whatever God asked you to?
I'm sure the most common answer will be "Well, God wouldn't ask me to do something so terrible! So I'd know it wasn't god." To which I have to ask why Abraham did not think the same thing, and what therefore makes him credible in the least?
anything there is not scriptural president for killing anyone in the name of God.. Keep in mind I am a Christian and not an OT character. "It's this whole other religion." Which you think is not. because you keep mentioning abraham. But again after Christ died he specifically said no one else need die. so again... whole other religion! if you want to frame a question based on the religion you must be willing to take an answer like this to the bank. If however if you want a murderous answer you must change the rules of the religion to resemble something like the agreement God had with abraham as that was a personal agreement and not even a jewish thing.
