What irks them even more is the notion that God would use someone as flawed and imperfect as Trump for any greater purpose.Hhhhhmmmmm … while I was not a fan of Trump’s speech, I think your rebuff is simplistic. Lazarus was raised from the dead for the glory of God, but … then he died. Death is part of this existence, as it currently exists. All of us die (but for maybe 2 people in the Bible). God does not promise otherwise. In fact, it is talked about a great deal in scripture. We are but a puff, a blink, on the timeline of existence.
So, God may thwart at assassin’s bullet for His glory. God may permit an assassin’s bullet for His glory. The victim of that attack, however, ends up at the same place as Trump. Dead and judged.
To say Trump’s comment is wrong just because someone else died in that moment is simplistic.
After all, their worldview is one of reparations and “social justice”. That justice must come from man alone.
