‘Satan’s books

A Baptist Church near Asheville, N.C., is hosting a "Halloween book burning" to purge the area of "Satan's" works, which include all non-King James versions of the Bible, popular books by many religious authors and even country music.

The website for the Amazing Grace Baptist Church (http://amazinggracebaptistchurchkjv.com/Download99.html) in Canton, N.C., says there are "scriptural bases" for the book burning. The site quotes Acts 19:18-20: "And many that believed, came and confessed and shewed their deeds. Many of them also which used curious arts, brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed."

Church leaders deem Good News for Modern Man, the Evidence Bible, the New International Version Bible, the Green Bible and the Message Bible, as well as at least seven other versions of the Bible as "Satan's Bibles," according to the website. Attendees will also set fire to "Satan's popular books" such as the work of "heretics" including the Pope, Mother Teresa, Billy Graham and Rick Warren.

"I believe the King James version is God's preserved, inspired, inerrant and infallible word of God," Pastor Marc Grizzard told a local news station of his 14-member parish.

Grizzard's parish website explains that the Bible is the "final authority concerning all matters of faith and practice," for Amazing Grace Baptist Church. In the Parish doctrinal statement, Grizzard expounds that "the Scriptures shall be interpreted according to their normal grammatical-historical meaning, and all issues of interpretation and meaning shall be determined by the preacher."

The event also seeks to destroy "Satan's music" which includes every genre from country,rap and rock to "soft and easy" and "Southern Gospel" and" contemporary Christian."

David Lynch, a resident of nearby Asheville, N.C., told Raw Story "it's a little disconcerting how close this is to my home."

"They are burning so much stuff I've dubbed them the hypocritical Christian Taliban," Lynch said in a phone interview with Raw Story. "Just the scope of all the information they want to destroy is pretty disturbing."

Church leaders did not respond to Raw Story's requests for comment, but the website notes they will be providing "bar-b-que chicken, fried chicken and all the sides" at the book burning.

That guy is really radical.

Yep, just what you like to see, his flock of 14 burning all there books, all 28 of them, I figure the mind set of that group they could not be burning much. It shows such tolerance for others and other faiths, gives you what warm fuzzy all over doesn't it?

And we say Muslims are bad, yikes.

The only good thing about this is that there are only 14 of them and most likely there all from the same family so maybe its only 3 books there burning, you know the family tree being a single branch and all.

River

Let us hope they do not team up with Westboro Baptisit Church.

sieg heil my Hitler!

soooooooo, when are they gonna start burning heretics? =P

Perhaps they'll burn them in the sanctuary of the church.

will they come storm the EA with pitchforks and torches and lynch us all?

the "preserved word of God" should become more familiar with King James himself and his motives for having that version written. He was not entirely without guile in the matter. --FLO--
