Would you sacrifice your child if God asked you to?

No. I would try to do physical harm to anyone who tried to bring harm to my child or induce me to harm my child

You shouldn't murder any child. You should tell God to get stuffed.

It's interesting, however, that the commonly accepted wisdom about the Abraham story is that Abraham was being tested.. Perhaps he was being tested - but perhaps he didn't pass the test, as many Christians suppose - perhaps he failed it! Perhaps God was testing him, not to see if he would obey, but to see if he had the moral courage to think for himself. Was he really a good man intent upon doing good deeds or was he just blindly following orders? Would he have the courage to risk God's wrath by refusing to commit an act of evil? Was he, in fact, much different from the SS guards who were also ordered to murder children? Perhaps these are actually the questions we are supposed to ask ourselves when we read this story about Abraham!

In Isaiah 46:10 God says: I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. It's obvious from this statement that God knows how we'll react to any "test" so the test is not for His sake, but ours. It's used to strengthen our faith because the end result will always be that God's promises will come true. If that were not the case there would be no test at all.

The story of Abraham and Isaac is a good example. In Abraham's case we see his complete faith in God. There are several hints that Abraham was probably not as devastated as some people make him out to be. For example in Genesis 22:5-6 Abraham told the servants to wait while he and Isaac went on and said they would both come back, and then they went up together.  The Hebrew implies they were united, of one mind.  And in Genesis 22: 8 Abraham told Isaac that God was going to provide a lamb for the offering, which is what happened.

But for me the most convincing sign is in Hebrews 11:19 which says Abraham reasoned that God could raise Isaac from the dead if necessary. The word translated reasoned means Abraham reckoned, or took into account the fact of God’s resurrection power. In other words, he thought it through and came to the conclusion that if God really wanted him to sacrifice Isaac, then God would resurrect him, because He had promised Abraham that all His promises would come true through Isaac.  This is not the behavior you’d expect from an emotionally distraught man.

Most likely Abraham knew that he and Isaac were acting out a prophecy of God sacrificing His Son for our sins. It took place on the very spot that Jesus would later be crucified.

Often we find in the Old Testament what are called types and shadows. These people and events foreshadow even greater people and events in the New Testament. So Isaac was a type of Christ and Abraham's unfinished sacrifice of his only son foreshadowed God's completed sacrifice of His only Son.

some human beings would say that this nonetheless is going on. what number mothers and fathers of Islamic suicide bombers are chuffed for what their infant did? what number knew in strengthen? people who did comprehend would have seen this question which you have asked. possibly some would have been chuffed to allow God (Allah) to take those sacrifices. what number would have been unhappy? on the grounds that God did provide up human sacrifices interior the previous testomony, this is obvious that human sacrifice is something this is guy-based no longer God-based. The dying of Jesus on the flow would desire to be seen via fact the defining 2nd of sacrifice which might render all greater sacrifice pointless. John 3:sixteen: "For God so enjoyed the international, that he gave his in common terms begotten Son, that whosoever believer on him shouldn't perish, yet have eternal existence." For God to ask for human sacrifice returned would render the dying and resurrection of Jesus completely meaningless, and would thoroughly undermine the full element of Christianity.

Presume and asking the question is itself a test of God not the people. He knows your mind even he will not ask to do this, because once for all mankind God Himself offered a sacrifice to his Son Jesus on the cross.

No. For two reasons:

(1) Anyone who would do that is a disgusting, sadistic, f****d up, mentally deranged psychopath.

(2) What "benevolent, loving" god would ask for that?

See, what happened in Connecticut today did a pretty good job of proving the non-existance of a deity to me, because what deity would allow s**t like that to happen?

Well, you said that " You don't have the mental capacity to understand the decisions of God".

Well, of course we humans don't know God's plan and his divine knowledge. However, you are talking about God's intelligence and wisdom, not his characteristics. What I mean is that, although we don't have the mental capacity to understand God's thoughts and decisions, we know VERY VERY VERY CLEARLY that He is the God of LOVE and normally he wouldn't ask you to murder your child.Because murder is a sin and there's no sin in God. But if God really asked you to do that, then he must have asked you to do that not to have pleasure in seeing your child murdered but for his specific plan. And I know that we all are supposed to obey God in all our ways. So, if God REALLY asked you to sacrifice your child, then do it. But I guarantee that in our time, He would never ask you to do that. You are asking a very ambiguous question. You should know that we must obey God but at the same time, RECOGNIZE THAT ALL HIS ACTIONS MUST HAVE COME FROM LOVE AND HIS SPECIFIC PLAN, not for sadistic pleasure.

If God really did come and tell me to sacrifice my child i would never ever do it! I'm a muslim and i dont do other things that were suppose to do in Islam!

Firstly as I don't believe in god, somebody asking me to do that would not be god.

If by some miracle they actually were a god, I don't feel obliged to obey any god so no, stuff them, that god could go to hell.

No.I would refuse point blank.I will argue with god,why he wants my innocent child killed,and I will plead with god to spare my child and take my life instead if he has to have human sacrifice.

But if god must have my child killed then i will tell him to do it himself.

how would you know if its god or the devil talking to you firstly.

second if it is god he has brought your son into existence so killing him means you prove your loyalty to him so you and your son can spend forever in heaven.

plus god could have prevented a second worser Hitler from taking power.
