The Lost One
If God do exist, and he gave you an order that you think was morally wrong, would you still carry out this order? Could you still worship him?
Lets just say hypothetically, you were in the same position as King Saul in 1 Samuel 15 (the Amalekite incidence). Like Saul, youre a king (or queen), God gave you either a direct order or an order through one of his prophets, which is, to kill every man, woman and child, and even infant should not be spared.
To not carry out Gods order, you would lose Gods favour as Saul did.
In the story of Saul and David, the price of losing Gods favour was that God will choose another favourite, and you will be inflicted with paranoia and extreme jealousy, where eventually Saul lost his life in the end.
Could you carry out such order?
Was not God wrong in giving such order?
Is Gods favour worth, having even women and children massacred?
Could you still worship him if what you thought was morally wrong?
In Genesis, God ordered Abraham to sacrifice his son, Isaac, but it was a test, and Isaac was spared. Even though it was not carry through to it ultimate end, isn't such a test, morally wrong?
