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.

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'.

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. They are only burning Bibles written in English. Except of course King James English.

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.

You don’t mess around with Jim.

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.

So far he is burning nothing about the Mormons... Mormons use the King James Bible.

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".

I have to say, though, that 30 years later I’d rather have that story to tell than the album.

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.

Guess where my Jim Croce album ended up. Ended up where it belonged?

Now THAT is funny. Thanks!
