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.
Yet another NUT job
Hooo Boy!!
Should of said: Liberal NUT job
Christianity didn’t exist until 1611?
I think he's onto something here:
As the old Deacon once opined - hey if the King James Version was good enough for Peter, James and John - it’s good enough for me!!
Al Gore and his wife metaphorically burned records and he went on to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
/Sarcasm OFF
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.
Pastor? No, pyromaniac!
I have never heard of a liberal KJV onlyist.
So far he is burning nothing about the Mormons...
WT ???
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..
Pastor Marc Grizzard thinks he is the only person on the planet who has the TRUTH.
Sounds like a Jim Jones wannabe.
A cult of Christianity who is loaded with false teachers.

Stumbling blocks.
parsy
I believe, given its defintion, “conservative” would be the right word.
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!
