A church in Canton, North Carolina is marking Halloween this year by burning what it calls satanic books. Many of the books on the list are versions of the Bible.
Pastor Marc Grizzard wants to burn any Bible that is not the King James version. Grizzard and the congregation at Amazing Grace Baptist Church consider other interpretations of the Bible to be false.
They also plan to burn the books of well known Christian writers who have occasionally used other versions of the Bible.
"We're burning versions of God's word such as the NIV, the NASV, the ECV, the living bible,” Grizzard said. “There’s a lot of different authors that we consider heretics such as Billy Graham, Rick Warren, the list goes on and on."
Grizzard and his congregation believe that only the King James version of the Bible is the true word of God. Grizzard says everything else is a satanic influence.
