My church’s lay leader made a great point about this Tuesday night at a board meeting. God doesn’t want us to burn books, he wants us to practice love for fellow man. God wants us to leave the burning to him.
You know we make out like Nazi’s and the right wing nuts of every persuasion are the only ones who burn books. This practice, usually carried out in public, is generally motivated by moral, religious, or political objections to the material. Has been going on From China’s 3rd century BC to the present. The Chinese, Athenians, Romans, Aztecs, English, Italians, Germans, Russians, Canadians, Cubans, and yes the Americans just to name a few have all burned books. The Christians, Jews, Muslims, Quakers, and all sorts of Governments have burnt books. This is far more important to me: Psa 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
