Have you ever seen pastors driving $50K cars and living in Million dollar house.

How do they reconcile "that" with their teaching?

No, I don't know any personally, but some of the TV pastors in the past (and present) are as you describe. They're nothing but a bunch of crooked fakes anyway. It's no wonder why many are "turned off" to religion.

For example, this guy....

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/26/us/26pastor.html

He made millions, lives in a million dollar house, and allegedly took some teenage boys on over sea trips and have sex with them with church money. And he drives a expensive Bentley, not to mention that he prefers Gucci glasses, diamond bracelets, and Rolex watches.

Actually, I saw that loser on the news just tonight. Talk about a disgusting and very sick individual, he is one. I hope he gets what he deserves. Just looking and listening to him made me ill inside.
