The KJV real poorly translated IMO.
What a bunch of maroons....
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.
?I believe the King James version is God?s preserved, inspired, inerrant, infallible word of God? for English-speaking people."
All other religious or Christian texts are sacreligious, the pastor insists. The list of books being burned will include works written by "a lot of different authors who we consider heretics, such as Billy Graham, Rick Warren? the list goes on and on,? Pastor Grizzard said.
Also on the pastor's list of heretical authors ? Mother Teresa, according to a full list that was previously available at the Amazing Grace Baptist Church's Web site. The Church's Web site ? which is no longer available ? calls the event 'Burning Perversions of God's Word,' and urges parishioners to "come celebrate Halloween by burning Satan's bibles." Calls to the Amazing Grace Church were not returned Thursday.
Some in the pastor's community support the event.
"In my opinion, the King James Version is the only version," Sissy Messer said.
But not all residents of Canton, N.C. agree with the bonfire of the profanities.
?I think some of the newer versions make it easier for people to understand,? said resident Judy Kirby.
The book-burning is being promoted as a social event with a barbecue dinner. The event will run from "7 p.m.- Till," according to the announcement previously posted on the Web site.

That guy is crazy! Seems to me like he would like to take away everyone's freedom of reading what they want. Strange people out there these days!!!
Actually, if you read the KJV, it is not translated very well. The New KJV, or the International versions are just modern day translations of the Bible. To get a really good perspective of what the Bible means, you have to read the literal translations of the original Hebrew and Greek.
