Does the "all" who will benefit include the many Trump supporters who are now out of work precisely because of the vote they cast?

And let's apply your logic to the failed assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler. Good luck trying to make the case that we "all benefitted" from that failure.

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

yes, some Trump voters who work in government might need to seek private sector employment. Thats never an easy position to be in and the country sympathizes.

but government isnt industry, and the public needs fewer employees and fewer expenditures in order to start addressing some of our national debt concerns and so the citizens of this nation deeply appreciate the personal sacrifice our fellow MAGA neighbors gave who knew trimming down government could mean their own livelihood and whom voted to do the right thing for our country anyway.

It's a good thing, we simply don't have a choice anymore.

As for Hitler, everything that occurred shifted the entire balance of world power, the Jews got a nation and we had relative peace for a time. As God tells us in Scripture, All things work together for good.

How things go is how they are decreed. This life isn't the be all end all, but sometimes bad things can help us learn how to be better, how to live better while we are here.

Where does the Bible say that God doesn't play favorites —that is, do you mean God has no favorites and doesn't prefer this over that? Did he not deal with Abraham's progeny in particular ways? Does he not save some, but not all?
Rom 2:11

For there is no partiality with God. Some translations say favoritism.

That assumes that saving Trump from a bullet means he favored him over Corey.
This thread is assumptions in itself, whether you answer yes or no, because no one truly knows. That's why I said that when I'm dead, I might get the answer only God knows.

Read it in context. What is it talking about? The context is entirely about the issue of Jew over Gentile. God is not partial as though the Jews are better than the Gentiles. He chooses according to HIS purposes —not according to race.

Compare it with Romans 9 where it says that before Jacob and Esau were born, or had even done anything good or bad, God had chosen which do deal with in what way, and it even goes on to say which one he loved and which he hated. God is VERY particular.

Read the Old Testament. God dealt with the Children of Israel according to his promises to them, which he never did for any other nation.

Do you think the members of the Bride of Christ are a haphazard collection of 'just whatever shows up'?


Why would God have a letter written to the Church at Laodicea in particular?

Jews, Gentile, black, white, no partiality because He is the righteous judge. James 2 tells us not to show favoritism, unless God is a hypocrite.

I think God did save Trump from assassination. After the bullet grazed him, Trump bled from the right ear and in the Old Testament, putting blood on the right ear was a way of consecrating the priesthood back then. To me, its God saying "Hey, look what I did! That was Me! I saved his life!" What does the rest of Christendom think?
Yes, He did. He spared Him to be the 'king' of usa, because God gived power to whoever He wants.

Whether it is for our good, or our bad.

I would like to think God does things for our good. There are still a lot of good faithful people in the USA.

Yes. But He also punishes us, and allows evil for our good.

I was happy when democrats lost. Not happy about Trump. But I thought, hey at least baby murders will decline, and mutilating of children will stop. And nothing I saw from Trump in 1st term was as evil as this, not that it excuses his evil.

But then he blamed Ukraine for the war, and is very friendly towards Putin, so now I doubt if he was a better choice than the democrats.

Satan disguises himself as an agent of light, and so do his followers. So we must be very careful.

How could anyone choreograph being shot in the head?

I just do not trust politics and government. So when it come to politics and government seeing is not believing.

Correct. So how does that mean that God is not particular in other ways? He has a purpose for Biden, and a purpose for Trump. Everything in its time. If he decides to save Trump by that particular means, what does it have to do with him not favoring Jew over Gentile present age?

He has a purpose for Biden, and a purpose for Trump.
This might be because He places persons in authority, or the kid just missed while he was spraying and praying with his 8 shots.

Most likely the assassin just missed. He wasn't a good marksman, according to his classmates.
