subject: Burning Bibles?

I mean, any Bible not the King James version is "Satan's Bible?"

A Baptist Church near Asheville, N.C., is hosting a "Halloween book
burning" to purge the area of "Satan's" works, which include
all non-King
James versions of the Bible, popular books by many religious authors and
even country music.

The website for the Amazing Grace Baptist Church in Canton, N.C., says
there are "scriptural bases" for the book burning. The site quotes Acts
19:18-20: "And many that believed, came and confessed and shewed their
deeds. Many of them also which used curious arts, brought their books
together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of
them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. So mightily grew the
word of God and prevailed."

Church leaders deem Good News for Modern Man, the Evidence Bible, the New
International Version Bible, the Green Bible and the Message Bible, as well
as at least seven other versions of the Bible as "Satan's Bibles,"
according to the website. Attendees will also set fire to "Satan's popular
books" such as the work of "heretics" including the Pope,
Mother Teresa,
Billy Graham and Rick Warren. "I believe the King James version is God's
preserved, inspired, inerrant and infallible word of God," Pastor Marc
Grizzard told a local news station of his 14-member parish.



Church leaders did not respond to Raw Story's requests for comment, but the
website notes they will be providing "bar-b-que chicken, fried chicken and
all the sides" at the book burning.
