I think the point is that you cannot use 'survived assassination attempts' as a metric for how much God is protecting you.
Oh yes I can , you are free not too. It goes deeper than this one event. I believe God's hand has been on Trump from the very beginning. I don't have the baggage of hatred to weigh me down.

Why would the Sovereign Lord permit Trump to survive?
Why did God let another innocent person die from bullets meant for Trump?

This conversation is unproductive and silly.

If I have you explain to you why saying God might have fired the bullet is unreasonable we could never have a reasonable conversation.
So, Satan fired the bullet, and God just barely caught it just in time to save Trump, because sometimes Satan can sometimes surprise God or get the one-up on Him, or get the upper hand on Him sometimes like that?

Cause just before that, God didn't know, or caught it just in time to save Trump, or something like that?

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.
I couldn't disagree with this statement more. IMO your statement is based more in political bias than scripture.

Scripture is clear God choses, sanctions, anoints, wills, allows or whatever term you like, leaders of nations. I believe the comment is out of line with scripture, reality and good taste.

It is very clear from scripture some leaders are in the perfect will of God and some are just allowed to be there for reasons known only to God.

Collateral damage in the overall plan that will be fully fixed up or set right in or by the very end, etc.

God Bless.

OK, then why did God let two other people die? Understanding that God knows all before it happens, the comment above makes no sense.

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!
And it is my belief that such a line of thinking is blasphemous.

I told you we could not have a reasonable conversation. 1. No one surprises God 2. God didn't "barely" catch it. God intervened. 3. God knows all .

Why is the protection of God such a hard to believe concept? The Bible is full of examples of the intervention of God in the affairs of men.

Is the real problem here believing God could use a man like Trump? From many post I see on this forum the hatred for Trump is an all consuming fire that many cannot get around.

I don't hate Donald Trump, even if some others do, etc. But I also refuse to treat him like he's some kind of specially treated divinely and specially protected god to me, etc, as he's absolutely no different from you or I, etc.

He's also not anymore special to God than the other two people that died either, etc.

But you are suggesting that he is, etc.

And that is "very, very wrong", and is also "very, very much in-error to an exceedingly excessive degree", etc.

Because he wasn't anymore special than the other two people who died, etc.

And you are evil if you think he is, etc.

God Bless.

Well you have the floor. Take your Bible and show me how I was blasphemous. I am eagerly awaiting scriptural correction.

This is what divine intervention looks like? More like divine incompetence.

If God wanted to save Trump He should have had the assassin fall down the stairs and break his neck so that the father of two didnt have to die as well. Or any other of the countless possible interventions that could have spared the former president but would have been invisible to you and I.

Most likely explanation: the shooter just missed. Shooters do that sometimes. It doesnt require a miracle.

If God has decided, already a long, long time ago, that it is someone's time to live, or it is someone's time to die, then He doesn't check with you, or me, or even Donald Trump, etc, to see if they either approve, or disapprove of it morally. He knows we wouldn't fully understand fully at this point anyway, etc. But He will cause us to know and/or understand all things someday, etc. And at that point, no one will be able to disagree with Him about anything really, because we will all be in full agreement with Him about everything at that point fully, etc.

God Bless.

I never implied or said he was a " protected god" that was just more unreasonableness.

I never said he was more special. You are trying to analyze God and His purposes with human reasoning and that will never work.

Now I am evil ????

Using your logic we could say if God saved Trump from a bullet and didn't save a gang member in Chicago from a bullet that wouldn't be fair.

You need to stop trying to use human reasoning to explain the actions and plans of God, it will NEVER EVER work for you.

See post #36.

You are evil if you diefy Donald Trump, or think he is any more special than anyone else, etc.

You saw the video. Trump turned his head at precisely thee right moment. Look believe what you wish.

If God wanted to save Trump the shooter could never have been born or been struck by a meter on the way to the site. Or he could have been taken out before he made the shot but wasn't so God had to intervene.

The problem here is that Trump has so been demonized by the left that many cannot see any use for Trump being allowed to live but thank God he survived.
