Baptist Church to Burn Bibles

Allen Frederick

This one certainly belongs in the LOONY BIN because of the bazaar reasoning of this apparently misguided congregation. I wish I could say that this is an isolated case but I know far too many “KING JAMES ONLY” adherents who would probably applaud this behavior.

In my post To King James or Not to King James I wrote at great length on this issue. There has been an ongoing controversy surrounding this issue, but the way this old bird sees things, the crazy antics of this Baptist church makes me wonder if reading the KING JAMES bible causes otherwise rational people to loose all reason.

This pastor and his 14 followers have certainly flown over the cuckoos nest. And that is how I see it! Eagle Out!

Amazing Grace Baptist Church believes that only the King James Version of the Bible is the true word of God
The idea that the true word of God is only pure when it is written in early 17th Century English, with the thous and thees in a book compiled about 1600 years after the death of Jesus Christ is somewhat mind-boggling. The original books that make up the Bible were written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek.
One also has to scratch ones head what is Christian, religious, or even sensible about burning Bibles and other books. Besides having the odor of Nazi era book burning, the idea of a Christian church burning Christian books smacks one as bizarre behavior. What the Amazing Grace Baptist Church proposes to do lends credence to the idea advanced by some secularists that people of faith have a tendency to do nutty things.
