I understand what you are saying, but I must add that Abrahams action was only right because* he stopped when God told him too, just thought I'd chip in, excellent videos, I hope to see many more!
Another problem with Divine Command Theory is that it seems to destroy any plausible account for God's moral perfection...
If the property of 'moral goodness' is defined as whatever God commands, then to assert that God is morally perfect is just to say that God acts in accordance with what he commands. Therefore God's moral perfection reduces to the trivial claim that "God wills what God wills".
@soultorment27 The thing is that God's commands are based on his nature/character which is the moral standard or 'the Good'. You wouldn't say 'God acts in accordance with what he commands' rather it is " God acts according to his nature ". Sorry that i'm responding to a comment of yours a year later :P
You explained this video very well.
