Would you kill your own children if God commanded you to?

[kram31]

I will never do that kind of ....
i dont go to church always well once in 3 months i think..
i dont pray everyday.. but i thank god everytime i go to church and never ask for anything
but with this ? HELL no even witthout him i will live my life with my children they are my life and noone will let me do that even my life is online
actually i can give my life just to make sure they will live their life happy and with out any problems .. thats why we are parents after all

If you hear voices commanding you to kill your own children.. you need help. That aint god talking, but schizophrenia. Get it through your little minds, there is no god, there is no santa claus, grow up.

There is God. According to ten commandments we should not kill people. Maybe God is just testing our faith to him if we will follow him or not. God want us to live a peaceful and happy life that will not happen if we kill someone. So I will not kill people instead I will pray to him.

You sound so certain of him existing.. Can you prove to me he exists? Also, which god exists of them all.. there are plenty of gods out there (more than 4,200), so which one is your god and why do you think he exists and the others dont? What makes your god so special? How do you explain the earth existing 4.2 billion years and not 10000 years as the bible says. How do you explain dinosaurs? Evolution? The earth not being the oldest planet in the universe? Pedophiles in the vatican not being punished by your "god" and still being members of it? Does god like child porn? If he exists I think he really enjoys it.. Also the bible says that the earth was created before the sun, which if your iq is bigger than your shoe size, you can understand that its utterly wrong. How do you explain all these?

No I wont, my child is my life. Better I die than my child. If God wants to have my child then he have to ask somebody to do it for Him but it will be over my dead body.

Would you kill your own children if God commanded you to?
A perfectly valid legit question.

Please no attempts to derail the thread with nonsense like "God would never say that" or "God would never change the rules with murder" etc....

Never in life would not kill an own child for the sake of religion and faith in God! I am not sure that such people will be. Mad I ask count for nothing.

[jakezyrus00]

What kind of question it is? First of all why would God will command us like that? Do you think He will do that? Of course no. Why would you think that God will command that in His own child. If you are anti God, do not be so stupid.

[Palmerson]

Such a question could ask only some fanatic. I even will not vote. This is another reason for me to be convinced that all religion is bad. They multiply fanatics, and they can inspire any thoughts. The growth of the terrorist attacks in the name of Allah is a specific example of this.

First, if there are any voice trying to talk to you then you should find the nearest psychiatrist and get treated as long as possible. Second, stop using illegal drugs. Third, if that really happens to me I'll call a priest and let him do an exorcism.

[siddartha1492]

If a God commands to kill your child, then simply he is not a god. As simple as that. The first and foremost duty of a parent is to protect his/her innocent child from all the problems and dangers. Although if my child is not innocent and rather a criminal, than I would need God's command to kill him.

Gone are the days of Abraham when God commanded people to kill their own children to demonstrate their love for him, God was about to give the whole world to Abraham and once he did he couldn't take it back so he wanted to know the depths for his love for him. No God can convince me to kill my own children.

And i don't think that story needed to be taken as literal as it is. Imagine a god who asks you to sacrifice your child to prove your love for him. It probably was a representation of how god sends us challenges along the way and that in the end he's always there to help us

[djimbim0]

If God gives the order to kill his child, then a person begins mental illness. A real god can not give the order to kill someone, because he created the whole world and is interested in love.

[galestorm]

That's a tricky question. Well, everything that God does is for the greater good so i will painfully say that i would kill my children for him though a God wouldnt command such a thing and if so, its just a test to prove your faith in him. There's a part on the bible where God ordered someone to kill his child. The man does so but was stopped by God in the nick of time. God doesnt want his own creations to kill eachother.

[mobilezz]

God is the creator of all living things and he loves everyone. If God commands someone to kill, then this is not God, but the devil is trying to push a person to a bad deed.

[pogpog10]

I don't believe that actually happend like it's written in the holy books but i would never sacrife my children for anything.

[citizenh-ssd]

No, God can not command someone to kill for no reason. I believe that a person can be killed only if he attacks you and wants to kill you, too, or your family.

[Loveydovey04]

No. And i dont know better than God. First if there will be someone who would tell me to kill my child i know 101% that it could be God. I knkw the characters of God i wouldnt think in any way God is asking me to kill my child. In the bible it happened to Abraham and that was to test Abraham's faith. But even Abraham was willing to sacrifice his son God in the end didnt allow Abraham to take his son's life. Before His only son was born he recieved a promise from God that He will be a father of many nations, thus abraham believes that God does not lie. If He takes his son's life the promose of being a father of many nations will not be fulfilled and will portray God to be a liar. Even though he offered his son he knew God will provide and God did indeed. That is that place was called "God will provide."

Would you say the same, if any of the religious books ask their followers to behead and exterminate anyone who doesn't belong to that particular religion? Such things do exist within the religions. You can't ignore that.

Your question was same history in the bible during the time of Abraham, when God talked to Him and said to Abraham need to offer His own son as a living sacrifice. But Abraham didn't say anything when God said it to Him, instead He followed God without questioning him almighty.

Yes I know that story and one of my favorite.  It is his only child and since he is so loyal with our God, God tried Abraham.  It was a beautiful story though I am not really a good speaker.  It is like having hopes that he will have one God.  After thay incident Abraham was called by God and gives her reward.

[mirror001]

killing your children or anyone kids is a wrong should i say brutle and insane act and this is against humanity. but there are two sides od that question one is that if God ask you to kill your childrens then HE wants to check you patient that how much you go far to get to the GOD and no God will ask his devotees to kill his childrens because he loves us more than anything. and rmember no one knows better than God to do anything by himself.
