Pat Robertson was using logic



The Rev. Pat Robertson got into trouble because he used logic in his ministry. A pastor cannot use logic in his teachings. If he could, the following questions need to be answered:

How can God in heaven answer billions of people on Earth praying to him at one time? If God created only Adam and Eve, how did all the other races come to exist?

If God is kind and forgiving, why does He have a place called hell to burn people forever? Why do some preachers point straight up in New York to locate heaven, and they go to Australia and point straight up to locate heaven in the opposite direction?

How can a man survive a plane crash that kills two babies, six women and two men, and he says that God was with him? It looks like if God was with him, the plane would not have crashed at all.

If God created Earth, why are there so many floods, tornadoes, hurricanes and earthquakes? Did God not know how to prevent them? Will heaven have the same problems?

I bet seven toenails of the devil that Dr. Gary C. Redding, pastor of First Baptist Church in North Augusta, can answer all these questions with a brief and concise answer.
