NC Church Plans to Burn Bible and Christian Books
Several media outlets, including the Associated Press, are reporting that a North Carolina pastor and more than a dozen fo his church members plan to burn Bibles and Christian books on Halloween. The AP says Pastor Marc Grizzard told WLOS, an Asheville ABC affiliate that the King James version of the Bible is the only one allowed in his church and that other versions are “satanic.”
Pastor Grizzard along with 14 members of the Amazing Grace Baptist Church plan to burn not only copies of the Bible on Halloween, but music and books by Christian authors. Some of the authors pinpointed by the small western North Carolina congregation are by evangelist Billy Graham and best-selling author Rick Warren.
The church’s website is down, apparently because of the increase in traffic they’re experiencing. But other outlets are reporting that the site defends their plans to burn Bibles, saying it’s Biblical. What do you think of this Halloween Bible and book burning?
