The key word is "dodge". We are not talking about what they claim their god says it would or would not do. If you have unlimited power which is what "all powerful" means then you cannot rule out a god asking you to do that.

The issue is capability's as an attribute. If he does not have the power to ask you to do that then you cannot call this god "all powerful". If he does have this power then as a loyal follower if told to do so you would be duty bound to do it.

It is especially within the realm if one is going to say "God's plan" is a mystery.
