Well, I’ve found literal angelic protection, which is what guys like you, with all due respect, might be giving short shrift. You might be worrying too much about that aspect of it all.
Read the accounts where a crowd goes to stone Jesus and He just walks nonchalantly through it and departs.
And also read about the deliverance miracles to Peter. Who once thought he would have to chop his way out of a bad situation with a sword, and dropped that idea after the Resurrection.
I don’t snub my Father that way.
There was a situation, I even shared it long long ago on FR, where a van hit the back of my motorcycle. It ought to, by the laws of physics, have knocked that bike out from under me, catching me on its hood, and my helmet would have bashed into the windshield. Hard enough, and it would have gone through the glass which, due to its lamination, would not have fallen out of the way but stayed there to decapitate me.
This didn’t happen, or else I am now living a dream. I hung onto said bike till the van, with bike impaled in its radiator, came to a stop. Then I tumbled off... in the FORWARD direction.
Tell me that angels didn’t strengthen my grip when it was needed. Tell me that. I will laugh to your face.
“Read the accounts where a crowd goes to stone Jesus and He just walks nonchalantly through it and departs.“
I have. And I’d hasten to say that you aren’t Him. Pride, and not heeding danger, goeth before falls.
So we should probably end this conversation now.
I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors.
Stay safe,
