I'm curious to know where did these questions come from in the first place?

Seems kind of stupid to ask this, since as far as I'm concerned, and as far
as my knowledge goes, the only time GOD has ever asked any of his children
to kill another person was back in the Old Testement when God told Abraham to
sacrifice his only son.  But, he didn't, because at the last moment, God
provided Abraham with a ram to sacrifice instead.  So, then, it can be 
summarized that God didn't actually intend for Abraham to kill his own son, 
because God knew Abraham's heart, and convictions.  Therefore, God really 
hasn't expected anybody to kill another human being.  Not to mention, there
is the matter of one of the commandments, that Moses brought down from the
Mount, "Thou shalt not kill".

Before anybody starts jumping up and down on this, allow me to clarify that 
yes, God has asked nations to war against other nations, which in turn, caused
bloodshed and death, but during those instances, God didn't specifically 
separate one individual and ask another to kill him/her.

So, why is this person even asking the questions in the first place?
