Pastor to Host Bible-Burning
Here is a pastor that hosted a book-burning on Halloween night.
Was he burning copies of the latest Harry Potter book? Maybe.
Did he burn copies of the Quran? Perhaps.
Was he burning the latest copy of the Bible? Definitely!
Pastor Marc Grizzard claims:
.”..the King James version of the Bible is the only true word of God, and that all other versions are “satanic” and “perversions” of God’s word.”
Oh brother! Here we go. As if this isn’t dumb enough, he also burning several other copies of the Bible calling them “Satan’s Bibles.”
On a lighter note he is also burning some satanic country music (which I might actually agree with…HA!), the works of Mother Theresa, the Pope, Rick Warren, and Billy Graham. He calls these “Satan’s popular books.”
Don’t worry, this kook only has 14 people that go to his church. But that may not really surprise you.
This is so ridiculous. It’s something I talk about in my book. I just don’t picture doing a book-burning ceremony.
Do I think Jesus cares about truth? Yes.
Do I believe Jesus hates evil? Of course.
Do I wonder if this might be the wrong context and application of those truths? Definitely.
I just don’t think Jesus wants followers of him to be the moral police for culture. So a display like this does more to hurt the message, teachings, and person of Jesus than doing nothing–in my opinion.
This is also something I talked about in my ABC interview.
What say you?

I was hoping my book was on the list. But i wouldn’t want to waste the money on sending one.
Maroon…yes, that’s one way of describing him. I’ll remain silent on others.
You should send him a copy of your book with a set of matches, saying “enjoy”. What a maroon, it is people like this that give “Christians” their bad name lately. Fearing words shows me the lack of faith these people truly have, it is like I would say to any Muslim Terrorist – if your God is so inept that he needs YOU to kill for him, why should I follow him?
