Last time I asked you this question, you managed to run on for several pages without answering, then started a new thread and ran on for eight pages before answering, then contributed to another thread criticising me for applying faulty logic in the construction of the question, without actually demonstrating where the fault lies.
Please answer the question without throwing any more red herrings about. Show the readers here your mettle with regard to personal revelation.
God has to exist in order for Him to ask me to kill someone.
...or to command me NOT to kill.

You claim God spoke to you in your personal revelation, but that's not compelling evidence to me that God exists. God doesn't need to exist for you to think you've received that message, because there are other mechanisms which could explain your having that personal experience.
The question doesn't presume the existence of a deity, it just acknowledges that people, such as yourself, have, or claim to have, personal revelations which they find compelling.
Don't try to boot strap your deity into existence off the back of the question you, once again, seem keen to not answer.
Again, I call on you to quit with the red herrings and answer: how would you react?
