Not KJV? Burn it!
Ever wonder what unites Country Music, works by Mother Teresa, Rick Warren, and the Pope, as well as the NRSV Bible, Good News for Modern Man, the Message Bible and the NIV Bible...?
...well, the pastor and the 14 members of one church in North Carolina believe these works are all works of Satan:
North Carolina church to burn ‘Satan’s books,’ including works of Mother Teresa
From RawStory.com
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.
