So, some arbitrary command without context?

Would it be arbitrary if it came from God? 

god asking me to do anything would diminish my belief in their omnipotence, thus making me less worried about disobeying the voice. 

then I'd kill someone but not because 'you' told me to!!

 Still doesn't address the second part.

For the Atheists or whatever present, presume that upon hearing the voice you couldn't help but instinctually believe that it came from God, whose power upon hearing it resonated throughout your form. 

 Just because you hear voices doesn’t mean it’s God.

If there was a scenario that I God somehow appeared in front of me and to prove his existence followed up by a minor miracle just to enforce he in fact is God, I would do whatever he said no question about it.

I figured it'd be individual context rather than some uniform one across everyone. 

Either way your 'no' is pretty clear.

lol, well, I guess I'll let the point illustrate itself then.

For the sake of argument, even if it isn't it feels down to the core of your being like it was. 

If there was a scenario that I God somehow appeared in front of me and to prove his existence followed up by a minor miracle just to enforce he in fact is God, I would do whatever he said no question about it. 

So without an exterior form of proof you'd say 'No' to God, while if they pull some Criss Angel shit you'd do it?

Yes. Again, the voice could just be me going crazy, about to kill someone. I would need something more solid before getting my hands dirty.

Okay carry on with your "what if God was like Satan" thread.

If all that God does is Good, then committing murder for him is effectively fine, right? 

That's a contradictory "what if."

Would you doubt the voice then? 

Is this you answering "No"? 

If there was a voice in my head telling me to kill someone, I wouldn't think it's God.

When the Lord reveals himself we'll be certain it's him. 

I'm hoping a lot of people would say "No". 

The great flood was because the Earth was being overrun by the fallen to the point where there was an issue with the genepool. It was a time more wicked than today's world in it's current state.

How wicked would it have to be to be worse than now? 

Yes worse.

Another thing. After death, we really don't want to come back here.

You mean after being transformed into what humanity is to become after death is gone and the rapture has finished? 

Unless I'm mistaken, don't souls not go anywhere until the final judgements are made around Rapture-times, when all who have died are brought back to life to be sentenced to their fates? 

From the perspective of the living yes. As far as the first humans are concerned, they just died.

This stuff is too complicated for some to understand, and the replies bare the signature of pessimistic retaliation of a spoiled brat.

I feel like it would be more humanitarian to care for the 99+% who won't make it than to praise the few who would.

Meanwhile God cares about them more than you do. 

In any other situation it'd make more sense to worry over the majority, and I can't help but see those who only worry about their own salvation as being selfish. Even if someone helps another convert and turn pure, there is still an innumerable amount of people who, while otherwise good people, are destined to suffer for all eternity. 

The Lord said many of his flock will perish from lack of knowledge.

Hell is a place without God. No animals. And it won't matter what you think or say to anyone you'll find there.

I can't get behind such needless torture when He could make the afterlives behave however He wants. The situation humanity is constrained in is His choice that He has the power to reneg on at any time. He could even pull the rug from underneath us and say that the belief of Hell was just yet another test. 

 The hell thing could very well be a test, or a motivational tool. Or it just could be.

You won't have to spend an eternity among those who outshine you, like you do here. Maybe you'll be sent to a place where everyone sown the same things and are like you.

I feel like I covered that in the OP:

In this case, every fiber of your being would be telling you it's God, but you would not be forced to follow the orders over having Free Will. 

Would you still doubt the voice, even though you in this hypothetical would "be certain it's him"? 

I'm hoping a lot of people would say "No".

Yes worse.

"How bad is it?" 

"Yes."

He has a funny way of showing it then, considering what He plans to do with them.

Is that why you come here, to be among those who outshine you?
