I'll answer in a sec.

At first glance I (see above about "my God would never...") probably would have
answered in that manner.

As before, God would not ask this of anyone, but if the act was not against
God's law and He commanded me to do such a thing, it would be done.

Please don't start flaming and calling me of anyone else a childkiller.  This
question was, in a way, one of those "no-win" questions.  I know that it's to
find out how dedicated we, as Christians, are.  Please fon't take things the
wrong way.

Thanx much,
Evan







	But Evan.....You STILL have not answered the question. Also
, in an earlier post, Scott pointed out that god DID ask someone to
kill a child once. I did not say in my last post that Chri$tans are
baby killers.....let me put it like this.....


	If God told you to kill your son (like he did Abraham), would
you do it ?


	This question you have not answered. I did NOT ask if your god
would or would not ask you to do it. I asked if YOU would do it IF your god
asked you to.......why not answer the question...
