I thought book burnings in the South went with the way of the Beatles, but this shows how much I know: to celebrate Halloween, Amazing Grace Baptist Church in Canton, North Carolina will host an ol'-fashioned Scripture bonfire complete with "Bar-b-Que Chicken, fried chicken, and all the sides," according to their website (click on the link, if only to hear a funny 1930s-era song about a boy who bought a Bible--yee-haw!). Among the literature the church claims constitute "Satan's popular books" include all the tomes of local preachers Rick Warren, Robert Schuller, and Benny Hinn. Pastor Marc Grizzard doesn't spell out exactly how the trio are part of Lucifer's minions, but wouldn't you trade your copy of The Purpose-Driven Life your co-worker left on your desk for a plate of Carolina 'cue?

Anyways, here's Hinn at his best:

Um, The Bible wasn't created as the King James Version. Go compare a new translation with preserved copies of original manuscripts and you will see that the only things different are small words which don't change the meaning. These people need to become scholars of the word to understand what it is they are really saying. In my eyes, this guy burned the word of God, and that is tantamount to burning Jesus. Thing how angered Jesus would be at that, when he became so angry at merchants for desecrating God's temple.
I say people like Benny Hinn, Rick Warren, Joel Olseteen etc are wolves in sheeps clothing as it is written. It is also written; that even satan will come as an angel of light :(
Tim, no-one cares about your delusions.

The new Bible versions are filled up with perversion. Look up these verses in an NIV and then please explain. Matt 18:11, Mark 9:44, John 5:4, Acts 8:37, Acts 28:29, Rom. 16:24, Matt 17:21, Matt. 23:14, Mark 7:16, Mark 9:46, Please email me with your reply. The King James Bible is Gods perfect preserved word of God, all new versions have been corrupted by Catholic manuscripts Siniaticus, and Vaticanus. STUDY THE ISSUE, TRY THE SPIRITS.
Gab: The only people I know Schuller truly hates are commies...
Burning the works of Warren and Schuller and Hinn is just wrong, and stupid! If you want to accomlish something, burn Warren and Schuller and Hinn! Then they can spread their hate in Hell.
YES banning liqour worked very well in the early 1900's, religious fanatics need to check themselves iam sure there is dirt under them nails. People like this is what makes religion less crediable and that it is full on lunatics, they are all full of BS and are boring individuals. nothing like hanging out with a bunch of holy rollers to make my day fun.
Do you really think that he's so crazy? I don't. I think that what he's doing is absolutely radical, and absolutely necessary in an age full of compromise. He is right that the early church, upon many people coming to salvation, burned all their witchcraft books (Acts). And I know that I am not the only Christian that feels that Christianity in America has become so dull, passive, and pointless outside of the Church, that sinners are blatantly and sometimes forcefully backing us into a corner. I don't know his mind concerning certain Christian writers or artist but I say that if he is being obedient to the voice of the Holy Ghost, then burn away. As a Christian Artist, I am also aware that he deems Contemporary Christian music as wrong. But the truth is, is that most Christian Artist get their inspiration from secular artist! Our policy at Cross/ViZion Music & Missions is zero-tolerance for secular music. So maybe I'm a bit to radical, too. But to God be the glory, I thank God that I follow His leading and not yours. Walk in Authority Amazing Grace Baptist Church, walk in the Word and turn the world upside down for Jesus Christ!
I think we need to pray for everyone - build up those who are with the Lord and guide those who are lost.
burn every bible. they're all fairy tales and that's it! sorry people
i think this pastor need deliverance. am sure he has gone into error and body of Christ need to pray for him
