God's commands? Are they immoral?

[Elioenai26]

You might not be frightened, but I can assure you everyone else is.

But curiously you did not answer the implied question nor even state what you would do. If God asked you to murder would you do it?

If you can give me a reason to think Christ would ask me to murder someone then I will answer your question.

Until then, I will not answer it. So you can stop asking the question.

Why would it matter? You've already said that whatever God says goes, regardless of the content or reasons.

Until then, I will not answer it. So you can stop asking the question.

Nope.

I will no longer answer any question by you ever again until you answer this question. It is extremely important and your evasion on this point does a grave disservice.

Not at all..

I cannot think of one instance where God commanded people to be killed for evil reasons.

I cannot think of one instance where God commanded someone to be raped.

I cannot thing of one instance where God has condoned or commanded torture. Not one.

Well, your evaluations are of just as little relevance as mine in view of the fact that you are appealing to a sovereign God. If God commands something it cannot be evil. So it´s no surprise you can´t think of anything evil that God commanded. The circularity of your reasoning reliably prevents you from judging anything evil that God commanded.

And the fact that God hasn´t done it before doesn´t mean he won't do it. Remember, He´s sovereign (and remember: we are all sinners and deserve being punished beyond imagination) - and it´s entirely possible you have seen nothing yet when it comes to the question what God is capable of.
