Thanks.

 Good to hear from you again, I enjoy answering sensible questions even though you may disagree with what I say, I can only respond as I understand God.
I believe what I stated to be absolutely true, I didn't say God would always protect His children from harm, many of the best Christians have endured many great troubles. God's defense of His children would take in many things that men could never comprehend because we are not omniscient. As for what Jesus said, it's been the same through all of time God doesn't deal in the gray areas because for Him there are no gray areas, being omnipresent and omniscient eliminates those gray areas. Hope this answers your question if not please let me know.

Thanks for your response, GC.  I asked you this question, because as a student of mediation, an art which I studied at a Christian university, I've learned that it is essential to be aware of the gray areas of any issue and to be able to re-frame it and construct an impartial third story.  Hence, since the best Christian mediators are able to accomplish this feat, then it would seem that they would be getting their inspiration from their deity and following its example.  Well, thanks for your thoughtful response and enjoy your Thanksgiving holiday.
