God did not save Donald Trump?

The recent attempt on Donald Trump's life has sparked a theological debate among pastors, politicians, and theologians. Many have publicly thanked God for Trump's survival, suggesting divine intervention. However, such assertions clash with the Christian belief in a loving God who values all life and opposes violence. This theological stance raises critical questions: does attributing Trump's survival to divine choice imply that God allowed harm to others?

This perspective comes from Shane Claiborne, an activist, author, and co-director of Red Letter Christians. He argues that any theology suggesting God selectively saves individuals conflicts with the foundational Christian principle of love and justice. Claiborne emphasizes Jesus' teachings on nonviolence and compassion as essential guides for understanding God's will. The incident prompts reflection on the role of theology in shaping attitudes towards violence and justice in society today.
