| - After asking a Christian if he or she would kill someone if God demanded it to be done and their response is "yes" or along the lines of "I will do whatever God Almighty demands of me" or "whatever God demands, nobody can say no."
* A video shows Youtube user evangelist Shawn (aka VenomFangX) was asked by a person, Michelle, if he would kill a person, even it was a friend or femily member, if God demanded it (just like God and Moses)? He answered "I would do anything God says without hesitation." After that, he was asked what would his feelings be towards God's reasons? He answered "My feelings are irrelevant, and God does not need to justify himself to me." Afterwards, Michelle compared a person who hears the voice of God to a schizophrenic, and makes a valid point on how VFX could determine whether the voice was from God or not. VFX answered, "I might not be able to tell, and ultimately it does not matter. Either it was from God, or it wasn't. It it was, then there was a good reason, if there wasn't, then it was just an outworking of a fallen world in which we live in. Ultimately, we know God is in control, so no matter what happens, we can trust that all things are working together for good, for those who love God, and are called according to His purpose." Basically, whenever Shawn hears a voice in his head to kill someone, he will have no choice in the matter and must carry it out and take a life.

- Divine command theory is the meta-ethical view which claims that: 1.
* Ethical sentences express propositions. 2.
* Some such propositions are true. 3.
* Those propositions are about the attitudes of God. This makes divine command theory a subjectivist yet universalist form of cognitivism. Divine command theory stands in opposition to other forms of ethical subjectivism (e.g. ideal observer theory, moral relativism, and individualist ethical subjectivism), as well as to moral realism (which claims that moral propositions refer to objective facts, independent of anyone's attitudes or opinions), error theory (which denies that any moral propositions are true in any sense), and non-cognitivism (which denies that moral sentences express propositions at all). It is often argued that divine command theory is refuted by the Euthyphro dilemma (so named because a version of it first appeared in Plato's dialogue Euthyphro): "Is an action morally good because God commands it, or does God command it because it is morally good?"
