The Bible clearly says that if a preacher leads Gods sheep astray their blood is on the preachers head. God help that man when he meets God at his Judgement day. The Bible also says that we should search the Scripture to be approved, so if some of those people that go to that church should do their homework.

First of all the bible was not written in latin or english as an original language. The KJV has many translation mistakes from the original language. The KJV tells us that the sabbath is on Saturday, so why does this pastor ignore that and go against GOD'S word? He also practices the Good Friday nonsense that the church of Rome started about 460 years ago and by doing that he ignores the words in the bible that say Jesus was in the ground for 3 full days and nights, just like Noah. Shame on him.

Two, where do you get off insulting morons (people of mild mental retardation having a mental age of from 7 to 12 years) by calling this guy one? As for the message he's sending, it's pretty clear that he doesn't consider any Bible other than the KJV the word of God.

Atheists like me don't have to work that hard to poke holes in your supposed "unity under God" if you condemn your own as "heretics". Though I find religion stupid, I cannot advocate the burning of ANY books. Burning books spreads ignorance. Ignorance is something this country does not need any more of.

Carekat wrote: "Is he CRAZY, what kind of message is that sending to is parishioners?" The message he's sending is that the KJV is the only real Bible and that all other translations are, like Halloween, of the Devil. KJV-only believers have this misguided notion that only the King James Version of the Bible is the word of God.

Anonymous wrote: "If God's is perfect and His Word is perfect then why change it because some people can't understand it? It sounds like to the me, if a person can't read the KJV and understand it, then they are not truly saved." The English of the KJV is very different from modern English and if one is not familiar with 17th century English it can be hard to understand. Protestants generally believe that the Bible is inerrant in the original autographs, not the English translations.

Anonymous wrote: "The KJV of the Bible IS the only authorized version of the bible." Ah, yes, another example of KJV-onlyism. Let's set aside the fact that the guy whose New Testament Greek manuscript was used (Erasmus) was a humanist who relied heavily on Jerome's Latin Vulgate. Since even the manuscripts from which the KJV was translated (the textus receptus) were not the original autographs, what evidence is there that the KJV is "closest to the original"?

I can understand burning the music,because the words they use are atrocious, but the Bible, any religious books as far as that is concerned. Is he CRAZY, what kind of message is that sending to is parishioners? If you love God and Jesus Christ, you have consideration for others and their religion. Talk about a hippocrite, he is one in the finest since of the word.

Does Brother Grizzard’s copy of the KJV Bible includes the original 1611 preface from the translators to THE READER and not (as many centuries of ill-preserved, uninspired, errant and fallible ‘so-called’ KJV Bibles do) just the preface addressed to their earthly king. Surely Grizzard’s personal copy of the KJV Bible includes this preface TO THE READER. He has indeed READ IT and insisted all members of his congregation READ IT. Otherwise he's going straight to hell by his own definition, right?

As a Universal Life Church minister [ulc.net] I find burning any main religious text of a faith offensive whether its the Bible, Koran or other text. Doing so promotes a biase against the Christian faith towards other faiths, a destructive end of such actions. Can't we all just have some respect for each other.

Hey, whether you are someone from this church reading this or someone just reading my random comments, the only INSPIRED version of the Bible are the original manuscripts. The original Hebrew/Aramaic/Greek writings. The KJV was just the first English translation, which lost a lot of the original meaning. This pastor is misunderstanding this, and in turn burning what he claims "heretical" which, in reality, is better translated from Greek to English and so on.
Friday, Oct 16 at 11:51 PM superfoge wrote ...
The Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew and the New Testament was written in Greek. Later the OT was translated into Greek as well (known as the Septuagint). The KJV of the Bible is not infallible but the work of translators working with a limited knowledge of the original languages, knowledge that has been expanded as archeology has continued to uncover both biblical and extra-biblical manuscripts that have strengthened our ability to understand the original languages and cultures.
Friday, Oct 16 at 6:53 PM calvinotexas wrote ...
According to the pastor, "I believe the KJV for the English speaking people is God´s Holy Word." This reminds me of the quotation attributed to ¨Ma¨ Ferguson, the first female governor of Texas: “If the King’s English was good enough for Jesus Christ, it’s good enough for the children of Texas!”
Friday, Oct 16 at 4:06 PM Loonesta wrote ...
The King James Bible was first published in 1611, and thus can hardly be considered "God's preserved, inspired, inerrant and infallible word of God", considering how many millennia after the fact it was cobbled together. This church is a danger to other branches of Christianity, such as Catholicism, and to freedom, in general.

Oh and by the way there's only one king and thats Jesus Christ. But this ignorrant hillbillie wouldn't know anything that. Fire is an instrument of the Devil. I read the NIV.

Leave it to a group of people who rely on emotion, groupthink, hysteria, theatrics, and blind adherence to ancient fairy tales masquerading as deep truth to burn a pile of books and fool themselves into thinking that they've accomplished something. Rational debate is a far better way to persuade someone, but rational debate is beyond them because rationality itself is beyond them. Thank God I'm an atheist! Woohoo!

it's no wonder people call Christians hypocrites...ignorant, fame-seeking, legalistic people like this pastor and his congregation have gone way past the extreme on this. I really am ashamed. I feel sorry for these individuals...no wonder you only have 14 members in your church. You're crazy...and to whoever said you're not a Christian if you can't understand the KJV, you're stupid. Jesus spoke in parables. Those parables were re-told...doesn't make the stories not true when re-told.

this makes me deeply sad. I agree with what 'Miz B' asid. If your faith can not even withstand a non confrontational assault from Holy Writ that is merely translated differently, it is not true faith at all. It doesn't matter what religion or faith you follow, this is saddening. As for the reaction from the community, how would the community react if it was a group of Wiccans burning bibles, or Judaists burning the Quoran? Farenhiet 451 anybody?

I'm not sure to laugh or cry on this one. I left the Baptist church from pure ignorance and from being to busy judging one another. Only GOD can judge me and nobody else can. The KJV is not the only book to read on the bible, I read the NIV as well to help me translate when I do not understand. You sir, have no right to burns bibles, music or any other books because you say so. How about dressing like a preacher instead of a white supremacist. Look within your heart before judging ours, sir!

...God's Word! Anyone who is stuck on one translation is spiritually immature and a false teacher! Even Dr. Charles Stanley (In Touch Ministries), who preaches at First BAPTIST Church in Atlanta, GA, said so in an issue of In Touch Magazine! Really, folks, burning Bibles is an attempt by Satan (through people) to erradicate God's message to the world. Again, I gotta say to that phony-bologna pastor and his 14 members, GROW UP!!!!! GET RIGHT W/ GOD B4 YOU DIE OR GO TO HELL!
Thursday, Oct 15 at 10:06 AM Mike wrote ...
That so-called pastor needs to grow up! The Holy Bible (all 66 books--sorry, but the "rejects" were NEVER accepted because 1)they date only as early as the first century AD and therefore 2)have NO connection to Jesus or the apostles) has been re-translated over the years simply to speak the language of the people at those particular times. We do not speak Old English anymore and therefore needed an accurate copy of God's Word in OUR language! Modern translations do NOT add or subtract from...

Dear me, what are we coming to? so some Baptist church is following the Nazi tradition of burning all kinds of highly polluting articles, especially bible books too. And you believers take offense to this, why??? truly I ask why? are you believers in Christ so shocked? I'm far from it. Logically speaking, as a strong individual who would never run with the pack. This Baptist pastor is mimicking the same righteous attributes as God himself in perfect fashion.

Thank GOD there aren't this many ignorant people in NC & people are educating themselves on what language Jesus spoke, where the KJV actually came from, how it came about & how the other versions were formed.if you truly study the Bible (any version) & its Precepts, you need to use Strong's Concordanence with the Bible. The Concordanance has the Hebrew & Greek translations. Wonder if he's going to burn the Concordenance too?

It just goes to show you why the world view us Christians as ignorant. If this guy did any kind of research he would realise that the Bible of today isn't even all of the original Bible. Men pick and chose what books were deemed worthy of being part of the canon that we read today. Some of their motivation had to do with the idealology of man during the time that the decisions were being made.

The KJV of the bible does NOT save you. Jesus saves you. And for those of you say you are not truly saved, or don't have a real relationship with God because of it, I call you a liar. At one point there was no "Bible", there were no letters that make up the New Testament. There was only word of mouth. AND the bible clearly states, "faith comes by hearing, hearing the word of God". IF you want the truth of the bible, read it in greek, hebrew or amamaic. If not, shut up.

King James Version of the Bible is the only way to go if you really want to have the relationship with God that you should. This version of the Bible is the only book we should read. Satan will try anything to get us to turn away from God including listening to a man and accepting his words over God's.

If God's is perfect and His Word is perfect then why change it because some people can't understand it? It sounds like to the me, if a person can't read the KJV and understand it, then they are not truly saved. If the original version of the Bible has been changed by man to make it easier to understand, then because those are man's words and not God's then that Bible is no longer God's Perfect Word and therefore false. Research it! Satan will try to get us to accept one little thing at a time.

The KJV of the Bible IS the only authorized version of the bible. For some people to say that it's easier to read and understand the other versions of the Bible are fools. When you are saved the Holy Spirit comes to dwell within you and you will understand God's written Word. If you do the research you will see that the KJV is the closest thing to the original writings of the Bible. Other versions are perversions. They leave key words and even whole verses out!
