USA Today/AP - N.C. church plans to burn Bibles on Halloween
CANTON, North Carolina (AP) — A North Carolina pastor says his church plans to burn Bibles and books by Christian authors on Halloween to light a fire under true believers.
Pastor Marc Grizzard told Asheville TV station WLOS that the King James version of the Bible is the only one his small western North Carolina church follows. He says all other versions, such as the Living Bible, are "satanic" and "perversions" of God's word.
On Halloween night, Grizzard and the 14 members of the Amazing Grace Baptist Church also will burn music and books by Christian authors, such as Billy Graham and Rick Warren.
This is way overboard. Aren't there any other books to burn out in the literary world?
This church has 14 members in rural North Carolina. How did this story make it to the USA Today? Could it be that the "world forces of this darkness" mentioned in Ephesians 6:12 would take this opportunity to spread the word about burning Bibles? Let's see if anything similar to this occurs in the future.
If they were burning copies of Coelestis and the Starbridge Chronicles, I'd have to go there and liberate them.
