A great way for me to crystallize this issue can be found simply by analyzing the story of Abraham being told to murder his son. There are two clear paths that Abraham can choose, and they are:

Disobey the lord and take the moral path of love by not killing his son.
Choose obedience/worship over moral integrity and murder his son.

Even though his son still doesn’t die, the important lesson God wanted to teach there was that he was willing to do so in the name of obeying the lord.

That really closes the case for me. Also food for thought people…

If this happened today and a prophet of a church, or even better, your own church, and he was going to kill his son since he had a vision that God told him to do so, people would rightfully be disgusted at such behavior.
