He Was with Jesus. Yet, Jesus Didn't Save him

There are rumors in the MAGA universe that some people, like Frank Turek, saw Jesus receiving Charlie Kirk at the moment he was killed at Utah Valley University. 

Turek said he joined Kirk on the car ride to the university on the day of the assassination, discussing potential student questions. Turek also said that he warned Kirk about several nearby buildings and the safety risk involved.

Turek said that he heard a single shot during a question and saw Kirk falling backward. He and the security team jumped into the SUV that they used to travel to the event and sped to a hospital while performing CPR and praying.

"We drove four miles… all the way to the hospital with the car door open" because Charlie was a tall man. Turek said he kept yelling, "Come on, Charlie! Come on! Come on!" At one point, Turek tearfully said he realized Kirk was gone.

"Charlie wasn’t there. His eyes were fixed," he said. "He wasn't looking at me. He was looking past me right into eternity. He was with Jesus already. He was killed instantly and felt absolutely no pain."

"If that's any comfort at all, Charlie didn't suffer," he said. "He was gone. He was with Jesus. Absent from the body, present with the Lord. That's where he was."

If these Christian devotees were Catholic, Kirk would be beatified and sanctified as a saint by the Vatican: Saint Charlie, wouldn't that be nice? But with the history of American evangelicals, methodists, baptists, lutherans, calvinists, presbyterians and the five dozen other sects that the Reformation spawned as descendants of the Reformation, they can't make a saint out of Kirk. Now to be honest, their reformation did not change things much: human nature being what it is. But to their credit, they stopped the regalia, the gold, the robes, the icons and the statues and all of that garbage of the Vatican's Catholic Church, and turned what was a fun communal almost-pagan religion into a dark, sober, boring sort of individualistic religion, which perhaps explains the compensation with wealth, megachurches, the shows, the hallucinating dances and all the equally pagan bullshit of "wosrship". On the other hand, they preserved the bigotry, the abuses, the quest for money and power, the adulteries and all the folklore one finds in any religion. Without showmanship, any religion would quickly be deserted by the "faithful".

The question, though, is why didn't Jesus save Kirk like he saved the vice-Messiah Donald Jump?
