CANTON, N.C. (October 13, 2009)—The Amazing Grace Baptist Church in Canton, N.C. will celebrate Halloween by burning Bibles that aren’t the King James Version, as well as music and books and anything else Pastor Marc Grizzard says is a satanic influence.
Among the authors whose books Grizzard plans to burn are well known ministers Rick Warren and Billy Graham because he says they have occasionally used Bibles other than the King James Version, which is the sole biblical source he considers infallible.
According to the church’s Web site, members will also burn “Satan's music such as country, rap, rock, pop, heavy metal, western, soft and easy, southern gospel, contemporary Christian, jazz, soul (and) oldies.
“We will also be burning Satan's popular books written by heretics like Billy Graham, Rick Warren, Bill Hybels, John McArthur, James Dobson, Charles Swindoll, John Piper, Chuck Colson, Tony Evans, Oral Roberts, Jimmy Swagart, Mark Driskol, Franklin Graham, Bill Bright, Tim Lahaye, Paula White, T.D. Jakes, Benny Hinn, Joyce Myers, Brian McLaren, Robert Schuller, Mother Teresa, The Pope, Rob Bell, Erwin McManus, Donald Miller, Shane Claiborne, Brennan Manning (and) William Young.
During the book burning, according to the Web site, barbecued chicken fried chicken and “all the sides” will be served.

Since anything other than the King James is not OK, they will need to burn Septuagints, Greek and Hebrew ones. Oh don't forget the German ones by Luther and others.

This isn’t a joke? As I was reading the list I was wondering what he thought about us Catholics, but then I saw he tossed the Pope and St. Theresa of Calcutta in there, so at least we aren’t being left out.

I’ve never heard of this “gathering” but it’s just few mountains east, so I’ll see what I can find out..
Unless Canton has changed a heck of a lot,, this will probably get ugly fast..

Please tell me what's "liberal" about these folks.
I actually visited their website. I'm Catholic; I disagree with some of their theology.
I disagree with their bookburning thing, although I note that it is purely voluntary. Folks are to be burning books which are their own property.
I totally agree with them that Abortion is Murder.

How did I know this was a King James Only guy?
Of course he and I do have some common ground regarding burning rap and country cds.
I raised my daughter to like rock and roll. I told her that country was “the devil’s music.”
Kenny Chesney is her hero.
Ugh!

Pastor Grizzard ought to burn himself as Satan is influencing him and he is a willing dupe.

I disagree with their bookburning thing I've seen stuff like this before. Legalism comes in an strangles the gospel. It's more of the form of 'Don't do this, don't touch that'.

Back when I was in High School, I loaned a Jim Croce album to a friend. He loaned it to some other guy. That guy started dating a girl who was a member of some fundamentalist church that decided to have a record burning. Guess where my Jim Croce album ended up.
I mean, Jim Croce, for God's sake.

So let me get this straight...this church is celebrating a holiday steeped in paganism and demonic imagery by burning bibles?
Alrighty.
To: Between the Lines
from the headline I was thinking it must be a leftist church but then I remembered they probably wouldn’t have any Bibles.

Oh ... be sure that I don't agree with a lot of their stuff. And I never said they weren't nutjobs. They are. IMO. Of course, in their opinion I'm The Great Whore.
Lovely.
I just don't think they qualify as "liberals".

Great. Another idiot who says stuff like “I love the King Jame’s. If it was good enough for Paul it’s good enough for me.”
I consider this type of behaviour to be a form of taking the Lord’s name in vain —— outright blasphemy.

During the book burning, according to the Web site, barbecued chicken fried chicken and “all the sides” will be served. With their list of heretics, it sounds like there'll be plenty of fuel for the cooking fire !

I am not a KJV only person. I do like the style of the King James. Some of the newer translations (or like the Good News Bible -—reinterpretation) just don’t capture the depth of what the King James does. But I love the portions we have of the old manuscripts.

Hey, if I can get people to buy my books just to burn them, that is a market I will be more than happy to service.
I’ll make up some stuff, drag it out to 150-200 pages of hocum and call it the “Devil’s Almanac” and sell it for $50 a copy. How may do you want?
I’ll even throw in a coupon good for gallon of gas with every case purchase.
