This attempted assassination could not have been closer. Another inch and Trump would have been dead. That smacks of Divine Providence but why would God save Trump?

He seems such a divisive figure somebody who would break the current world order jeopardizing the freedoms of countries all over the world. Ukraine and Taiwan are two examples. He is a proven liar, adulterer and fraudster so he has not earned any special grace, so why save the man? What does God want to do here?

Why would the Sovereign Lord permit Trump to survive?

Not all people who survive assassination attempts are objectively good people.

It makes sense if you don't ascribe divine providence to such things.

Given the number of failed assassination attempts, God must have really 'loved' Hitler...


This the problem of trying to read divine providence into events.

You do know that God's plan for the ending of this current age/day is for a lot of people to be desperate enough to accept Jesus Christ and what he wants to do/set up when he comes back, right?

But that even Jesus when he was here in the past didn't know the exact time/day/hour of just when that would be exactly?

Having Donald Trump for a president in America for a time, if he wins, is probably a part of that plan, etc.

But just how close is the end of this age, or how much will Donald Trump be a part of that plan if he wins, and just exactly what kind of role/part will he play in that plan exactly?

No one really knows, or no one can really tell you/me/us for sure exactly, etc.

But all that ever happens or transpires is always a part of God's plan, etc.

Maybe God wanted to show Trump that he could just eliminate him or just get rid of him or off him at any time maybe?

Or maybe not, etc. Because there is just not any real way to know for sure about any of these kinds of things, etc.

Other than that all is always a part of God's will/plan for everything, etc.

God Bless.

Because He only has flawed men to work with. Jesus rose and went back to the Father. He is the only one who would meet most peoples criteria for a leader.

It is my belief Trump was spared by God because Trump is the one God chose to use at this time in our nations history. Perfection is not a requirement to be used by God. Just look at all of the leaders in scripture, how many of those would pass the test imposed by many today who
claim to know what is needed for this country.

Sometimes leaders are chosen and anointed by God to lead nations and sometimes leaders are allowed to fill a position out of the perfect will of God. I don't think I need to explain how that applies today , it should be obvious.

I believe Trump was Gods choice in 2016, 2020 and 2024. Sometimes men get the king they desire not the one God prefers. That is scriptural!

Why speculate? The bullet missed. By any account it was a miracle. If Trump had not turned his head at the precise moment he did we would be having a very different conversation. God protected Trump. A hard pill for many to swallow but reality.

My question speaks to which selective events we attribute to God.

And, I don't accept the narrative that if he had turned his head, the the outcome would have been different. I'm waiting to see a full report, including a ballistics analysis.

God isn't swayed by left-wing propaganda.

The real problem is trying to use human reasoning to figure out what God is doing in the earth today.

Was this just another covert attempt to draw a comparison of Trump to Hitler ? I sure hope not. You have my apology if that was not intended if it was you have my prayers.

By that logic God loves Biden even more because God saved Biden so completely and effectively that the assassin changed his mind, got a proper hair cut, trained as vet and didn't even try to kill Biden.

You need to think the things you commit to the internet through before you click 'enter'.

Then I would have said that God must have not have wanted him to continue on, let alone be president, etc.

But that's not what happened though.

God Bless.

Not even a reasonable response. You can do better.
It's very, very reasonable.

Do you not think God is in full control, or is 100% Sovereign, or fully controls all things?

God Bless.

I think the point is that you cannot use 'survived assassination attempts' as a metric for how much God is protecting you.

Have you seen the still frame pic from the video showing the bullet whizzing by his head? The bullet ripped through his ear . How much closer could it get.

You are free to believe or not believe what you wish . I believe it was the hand of God that spared Trump.

To test His Flock.

There is a faction in Christiandom that have turned away from His Will. Our Father will send a delusion that even some of the elect will fall away into idolatry if they haven't done so already. The more our Father allows Satan to lift up Trump, the more the nation heads towards a Theocratic system with Trump as king and Lord. It has happend over and over throughout history. Only those who do the Will of the Father shall survive such a delusion. The fruit of the Spirit shall live in those who love Jesus Christ of Nazareth. These fruits are love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. This is how we will know who is In Him.

We know that our Father does not rule through an earthly nation. His Kingdom IS NOT of this world. Let us reason. God's divine providence is a test.

Sorry to be so candid but there is alot at stake, people's souls. This faction must come back to their first Love, Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
Be blessed.

If I have you explain to you why saying God might have fired the bullet is unreasonable we could never have a reasonable conversation.
