If you are in the position of Abraham, what would you do?

When God told you to sacrifice your child as an offering to Him? At that time you did not know that it's just to test your obedience ....
If you do the same with Abraham, it means you are obedient to God than a sense of humanity and your love to your child. Obedience and love of God who became number one in your life, although it must be torture and deny your humanity. You deserve to be called as a man of faith, even if your faith leads to murder ... in the name of God ...
If you refuse to do it, that means you do not love and obey God as believers should do ..., you are not a believer, and not worthy of God that you call the almighty creator ... as you ...., then you do not deserve paradise, and hell is the ultimate goal of your life ....
How?

If I, convinced that God's command is always right and should be followed whatever!
But I also believe God will not speak to men who are not sacred or human being dirty. let alone people who disbelieve, hypocritical and arrogant,
so you do not have to worry any orders to you.
Now if the murder had to do with the norms of religions / religious law line and your question was happening before this is complete religious norms.
well now complete does God not know that?

in fact ....
Many already the case in the present, truly obsessed with hearing the voice of angels .. and cress! Child on her lap ended ... !
Expert psychologists diagnose the defendant as 'scizophrenia syndrome' .. ! - heard a clear voice command the ear!
Sorry, I'm still healthy enough to fantasize about a question like this.

A Deity who commands us to sacrifice to Them is unworthy of worship. I would therefore refuse and worship a worthy Diety instead.
There are those who say that Yhvh gave that commandment to Abraham as a test to see if he would obey. I agree with that analysis, however, I believe Abraham failed the test by undertaking to obey.

If I may guess, you are an extremely logical and relies heavily on logic and logic seemed to make everything, including the matter of belief.
I also try to answer with logic.
"God is not going to try creatures, in excess of his ability"
Abraham is a man who has a degree of the Prophet, which must have faith and adherence level more than human.
