Bible burning via youtube

That’s right, Amazing Grace Baptist Church (Canton, NC.) is going old school on us with a good old fashioned book burning. They will have a BBQ/worship service during their Halloween event as well. They intend to burn “perversions of God’s Word” which in this case means most every version of the Bible (and any other book) that is not the King James Version.

They say,
“We will also be burning Satan’s music such as country, rap, rock, pop, heavy metal, western, soft and easy, southern gospel, contempory Christian, jazz, soul, oldies but goldies, etc.”

I’m sure you’re wondering which authors qualified for honorable mention. Well here’s their list:
“We will also be burning Satan’s popular books written by heretics like Westcott & Hort, Bruce Metzger, 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, William Young, etc.”

Now I was going to include a video to fit the article, such as a Halloween protest or silly videos people have made against Halloween, including a Christian couple trying to ruin the celebration in their neighborhood, but I decided to post something actually enjoyable instead.
