Excellent reply. Looks to me his faith is together.

I would ask the chick how she reconciles her communism with such high priced clothing.

[Doctor Raoul]

"How do you reconcile your faith with the enormity of this tragedy?"

And the Pastor sez, "Well Sweetie Cups, when I hear reporters like you, I realize there IS a devil. And if there is a devil, there must be a God. It's that simple..."

[msnimje]

I don't get this bigoted line of questioning. It is like asking a wealthy person why he was mugged.

[atomicpossum]

Obviously, such questions come from a complete lack of understanding of faith. Who ever said that 'become a Christian, nothing bad will ever happen to you?'

I know not why God’s wondrous grace
To me He hath made known,
Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love
Redeemed me for His own.

Refrain

But I know Whom I have believèd,
And am persuaded that He is able
To keep that which I’ve committed
Unto Him against that day.

I know not how this saving faith
To me He did impart,
Nor how believing in His Word
Wrought peace within my heart.

Refrain

I know not how the Spirit moves,
Convincing us of sin,
Revealing Jesus through the Word,
Creating faith in Him.

Refrain

I know not what of good or ill
May be reserved for me,
Of weary ways or golden days,
Before His face I see.

Refrain

I know not when my Lord may come,
At night or noonday fair,
Nor if I walk the vale with Him,
Or meet Him in the air.

Refrain

Gee, I can't Kate.This God stuff must be a crock!It's atheism for me. And I'm joining the Democrat party.BTW, what's you doin tonite ,sweets cheeks?

[11th Commandment]

This question shows a total lack of understanding about what the promise of Faith is about. I could go on to beat-up on the drive by media, but I wonder how many Christian asked the same question?

[bvw]

The middle part of the pastor's answer, imo, should have been the first and repeated part. That is that his beliefs made him well-prepared to deal with what happens, no matter what it is.

Instead the first idea he mentions was the weakest, a sop to victimhood, "This is just temporary."

Challenges in life are the constant blessings of the moral, and those closest to G-d. They are not "temporary".

[Scarchin]

Actually, I have no problem with the question. It gave the pastor a perfect opening.

[zarf]

Would Pentecostals buy this explanation?

[Thumper1960]

Reminds me of an old TV movie, "Satan's Triangle", where the Devil demands the priest to: "Reject your God, Pagnolini".

Another MSM hack so subtly demanding a minister, in the midst of tragedy, reject his God and submit to the secular world of humanistic hubris.

[Moonmad27]

Don't those reporters ever read the Bible? (obvious answer, I know) Jesus talked about this same issue when he mentioned a tower that had fallen, killing people. That little comment fascinates me - what must have been big news at that time is unknown except for that mention. All these big news items in the newspaper will someday be just as unknown, but this pastor knows what's important.

Bravo Pastor Lynn!

What a shame THIS Pastor Lynn couldn't take the place of that fake preacher calling himself 'Reverend BARRY Lynn' over at the AntiAmerican Communist Liars Union!

I'll bet the answer ABC got from this Florida preacher wasn't what they were hoping for, eh? ;)

[brownsfan]

Generally, I dislike the MSM, but this isn't such a bad question. It's not like the interviewer expected the Pastor to say: "Well, I can't, I give up on religion."
It gives the Pastor an opportunity to give a mini sermon. To help others try to come to grips with the situation.

Tempest in a teacup is my take.

[durasell]

Uh, it's one of the oldest questions in religion.
