God let John do as he wanted (use his own good or bad sense) but I have to wonder did God think "John, John, what did you go and do that for? You would have been so useful to me down there on earth for years to come if you hadn't gone and gotten yourself killed."
No.
Yahuweh has A Word for those prophets who do what they want, who follow their own spirit. Yochanan the Immerser was not one of those.
Ezekiel 13:3 NLT: This is what the Sovereign LORD says: What ...
Ezekiel 13:3 NLT: This is what the Sovereign LORD says: What sorrow awaits the false prophets who are following their own imaginations and have seen nothing at all!'
Thus says the Lord Yahweh, Woe to the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! Young's Literal Translation Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Woe unto the prophets who are foolish, Who are going after their own spirit, And they have seen nothing.

No, what? What are you saying "no" to?

You are talking false prophets, I'm talking sincere prophets that may or may not use good sense.

If you reread my comments, without any preconceived notions, you would see that I, somewhat agreed with your but felt, that Others were not ready to hear it....so brace yourself. And I also spoke of no contention that I felt nor did I say you were giving any.

Now if you cant decipher friendly words, Why do you think other will be able to find good in you associating any blame whatsoever on a rape victim? Some things are better left un-written, especially if you have to conclude with "I dont knows" or " I cant say"s

First, I apologize for a poor choice of words. But I did associate blame in my original comment to anyone. I said there were many factors to consider as to why God would or would not intervene. I think you read way too much in what I had said, which is what threw me off.

Apart from my poor choice of words, I stand on what I said. For example, if a woman walks down a dark alley skimpily clad, that is irresponsible on her part. Would God intervene to protect her? You tell me.

Would a boy friend of hers protect her ?

Would someone with eternal plans for her life protect her ?

yeshuaslavejeff, prayers?

This actually makes a good point, well meaning, true Christians make mistakes.
"sincere" prophets today are false prophets , or so it seems everywhere all the time so far.

I understand, they aren't truly sincere, but only in a "so it seems" sense. It's the only way they can make money. :)

As far as I understand the meaning of sincere, they are very sincere, most if not much of the time...

As frequently said the last few decades, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions"(sincerity)

They could make money 4, 327 ways, possibly.... or less, but still some other ways ....

By your logic, YSJeff, then no one would ever be harmed because God has eternal plans for everyone. Yet harm is the reality of this world.

I'm talking sincere overall. If they are part time, they are not sincere at all as I see it.

Is anyone today responsible ? (besides a few who are) ?

Hasn't it been frequently pointed out that many dress as if they are for sale? Even in church meetings ?
Whether one is responsible or not does not remove the requirement that we be responsible. The fact many are irresponsible does not justify irresponsibility.

Do God protect His chosen from rape?

Implied in your question is a common assumption. The assumption is that believer in Christ are "chosen"by God to be believers in Christ. Personally, I do not believe this in that way. I believe God's chosen is Jesus alone, and God wants all mankind to abide in Christ through the new birth.

This is behind my other comments. As we abide in Christ he protects us, but when we abide in the world, we walk away from his protection.

And it may not make any difference in whether or not Yahuweh the Creator protects someone.

Look again at the post you quoted ....
did I claim God would protect someone for whom He Has Eternal Plans ?

No.

He Does as He Pleases.

ALSO, since at least two thirds of the world reject Jesus, and refuse to repent of worshiping/serving demnons, it is incorrect to say "no one would ever be harmed"... as those who never repent are not only harmed, but destroyed, body and soul, as written.

As with most things, there is no one right answer. We must be responsible to not put ourselves in danger, unless we are willing to acknowledge and accept that danger before hand. And that includes how we dress and how we act. Let's not forget wrong place wrong time either. We should also be responsible to pre-learn what options we might have in such situations. God is not obligated to protect us, but can if He deems it right. And as Christians the world will seek us out for trouble. We should be prayed up and prepared for it when it does.

So it seems that your answer is "Yes But" or "Yes with conditions" : You have to be talking about Spiritual death only, you must imply "never dies AGAIN", or "shall not die" (as never die would not make much since in your interpretation). And If these conditions do not apply, the answer is "No Lord"

But fret not, you are not alone.....for there are multitudes who will follow you down the road of death and decay. Only a few will know that death has been conquered.
Hello, its all about our spiritual living and spiritual death....Romans 5:12..therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to ALL PEOPLE, because All Sinned....

I won't lie, sort of a silly topic. Of course He doesn't. Just as His chosen aren't protected from murder, cancer...etc. It's a fallen world full of sin. We all suffer.
My people perish for lack of knowledge.

Protection from cancer is not difficult to find , but it is illegal for some professionals to openly speak about it. Look online though, for ideas. The Scripture is the best evidence of course, and searching with purpose for God's Will, trusting Him, has life-sustaining results (and AMAZING TOO ) ...
