Burning Perversions of God’s Word

Bible Burning  http://mariopiperni.com/

.

Here’s what happens when you start off with a measly three brain cells and two of them are taken over by religious fanaticism.

A North Carolina pastor plans to host a Halloween event at his church to burn heretical books. At the top of the list — the Bible.

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.

On Halloween night, Grizzard and the 14 members of the Amazing Grace Baptist Church will set fire to other versions of the scripture, as well as music and books by Christian authors.

“We are burning books that we believe to be Satanic,” Pastor Grizzard said.

Cool…not the book burning but the fried chicken which their promotional ads tell us they’ll be serving.  I’m not sure if it’s a BYOB – Bring Your Own Book.

They’ve taken down the web site but here’s the cached page.

    The Towel of Babel is alive and well. Not only tongues are misunderstood but interpretations also. Will anyone ever get it straight ?????

    I’m glad he’s from North Carolina. :-)

    According to the Bible, ALL of them are in deep doodie!

    Deuteronomy 4:2 “You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.”

    Mario – Re: “religious fanaticism”

    What’s an example of a non-fanatical religion? Aren’t all religions fanatical to some extent?

  7. mariopiperni says:

    One can be religious without being fanatical and it’s not the religion that is fanatical, it’s the followers.

    the aliens will land before the second coming of Christ.

    Defolts,

    Amen to that. The old testament is over 5000 years old. The Jesus story is over 2000 years old. People will need more than miracles to start believing again. We need a paradigm revelation real quick as churches are closing and beleivers are few. 

    Like they say in finance ” With these kind of numbers,bankruptcy is inevitable”
