You don't get to use the "God wouldn't do that" argument, because God gets to do whatever the fuck he wants.
I most definitely get to, who are you to dictate the rules of an argument, besides you have no idea what God limits Himself to. This very question is why I keep asking people here to grow up and us what little maturity you have. You want to drag the OT ways into the NT life, so just quit if you do not know what you're talking about, and for you it seems to be most of the time. The death and resurrection of Christ has change how God works in this world of today and if you would just study the NT you might find this out and save us all a lot of useless arguing.
I'm not dictating the terms of the argument, you did, in another thread:
EDIT: My bad, I just noticed it was Drich and not GC. Sometimes I can't keep you guys straight. Sorry for confusing you two. Still, I don't think it really changes anything.

I don't claim that I know what God limits himself to, I claim that YOU can't know what God limits himself to, and therefore can't plausibly claim that such a command would never be forthcoming.
Seems like I struck a nerve. Your OT/NT hysteria and personal insults have nothing to do with the topic, Christians today still believe that good is defined by God's actions / desires, which is why they love the little argument from morality so much. Your failure to provide a coherent response is noted, as is your flailing about and personal attacks.
