A Baptist Church near Asheville, N.C., is hosting a "Halloween book burning" to purge the area of "Satan's" works, which include all non-King James versions of the Bible, popular books by many religious authors and even country music.
The
website for the Amazing Grace Baptist Church in Canton, N.C., says there are "scriptural bases" for the book burning. The site quotes Acts 19:18-20: "And many that believed, came and confessed and shewed their deeds. Many of them also which used curious arts, brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed."
Church leaders deem Good News for Modern Man, the Evidence Bible, the New International Version Bible, the Green Bible and the Message Bible, as well as at least seven other versions of the Bible as "Satan's Bibles," according to the website. Attendees will also set fire to "Satan's popular books" such as the work of "heretics" including the Pope, Mother Teresa, Billy Graham and Rick Warren.
"I believe the King James version is God's preserved, inspired, inerrant and infallible word of God," Pastor Marc Grizzard
told a local news station of his 14-member parish.
Very interesting,it seems like this Baptist church has more common sense then our own Molokan churches.
On my last visit to the UMCA library I noticed where they had an "Inspirational" sectionand ithad books written by Bill Graham and others like him.
And what gets me, is that these books are sitting right across a shelf that sells a book (Spirit and Life)that says that any other religious books besides the oneHoly Bible are seeds planted by the devil himself. (MGR 5:2:10-13)

So then reading your comment, what conclusion shall a person make about the S & L ?
Because the Spirit & Life is NOT the one Holy Bible.
...just saying from reading your quote.

Good point. How about the Malitvinik, or Pesnik? Or even the red procedure book? Wouldn't that be considered a religious book?

Eeeeechooooolay!!!!!
I never advocate burning ANY book. When we get on the side of that then we are no different than these people. This is part of the fundamentalist movement in the USA.
First its displays like this. Next it becomes law (see Ecumencial Councils on how that went) then finally its persecution, punishment and "death to the heretics" (See Priguni Molokan history on that).

Steve,
I think whatMaxim is saying is that people should not be reading commentaries about the Bible or, on the other hand, inspirational books about witchcraft, the Khlysty faith, books about magic, Buddhism, etc. However, even though I don't believe that we should be reading books by Billy Graham, Joel Osteen, etc, I think it is a big jump to say that those writers are seeds planted by the devil himself.
Nevertheless, we don't go to other faiths, especially those purportedly Christian faiths which still mix paganism and the true faith of Christ. What Maxim takes issue with is the fact that we should not be getting out inspiration about God from those who refuse to keep the faith pure. There is nothing in the New Testament to say that people should stop eating kosher, nor is there anything in the New Testament that we should not be celebrating the holidays in the 23rd chapter of Leviticus, nor is there anything to start celebrating Christmas,Easter, Halloween, and other pagan holidays. There is also nothing in the New Testament which says to supplant the Father with Jesus Christ. There is no excuse or exception given in the New Testament for joining the Military or for killing another human being for any reason. Those issues which are widely accepted by mainstream Christianity are seeds of evil to begin worship of Satan, whether intentional or not.

Can't tell you how many times I've heard of XYZ Molokan is listening to, watching, etc. to ABC guy on the TV, Radio, etc. for "inspiration" or "commentary". They have decided to listen to MAN with his frailities, desires (particularly for "donations"), bias, etc. rather than read the Bible and let God through the Holy Spirit interpret or reveal the magnificance of the scriptures for them. God vs. Man....and unfortunatley, too many choose man.
Pavel & Red October thanks for the responses. I agree with you both that the source of our Love, Inspiration, Mercy comes directly from God and communion with the Holy Spirit.
God does however wants us to encourage one another, so if Billy Graham, Philip Yancey, Molokan Elder/Friend/Family sends me encouraging words or writes them down for me, I PRAISE GOD for that!!!!
I would say that many people will label books, but how about after a hard days work and a person wants to relax and plays video games. Personally, I don't have a TV soI play with my kids, we feed our goats, chickens, ride our ATV in the hills behind our home...But that gives me inspiration, encouragement, I feel the love of my children, and ALL THE GLORY GOES BACK TO GOD!!!!
So..if someone reads a book by Billy Graham and gets encouraged from it and afterwards PRAISES GOD, I see no problem.
Or...if someone reads every morning MGR Book 14 Article 15 every morning " O my Beautiful Morning!" and gets encouragement and PRAISES GOD, I see no problem.
And...likewise with the Bible, if a person reads: Romans 12:6We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to hisfaith. 7 If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; 8 if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully. and PRAISES GOD, Absolutely NO PROBLEM!!
Read through Apostle Paul's Ministry how many times he mentions encouragement from other believers.

Again, I AM NOT PROMOTING Calvary Chapel, Chuck Smith at ALL!
I love our Molokan People, Brotherhood and have a prayer similair to Habakkuk's:
Habakkuk 3:
2 LORD, I have heard of your fame;
I stand in awe of your deeds, O LORD.
Renew them in our day,
in our time make them known;
in wrath remember mercy.
and similair to Apostle Paul's (substitute Israelites for Molokans:
Romans 10:1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved.
Someone sent to me a welcome packet from Greg Laurie ministries. Included was new testament with his commentaries. With a FAQ section for new believers.
Canned Christianity. Which I fed to my trash
can.
Maxim writes in book 6 articles 12 and 13, exactly how the final anti christ comes to be and how He already is.
We are to look upon the commissioner of Mount Zion. Clothing ourselves in all the armors of God and with the spirit of zeal.
Quote:I ask and beseech you, by the living God. As much as you are able to, defeat this fierce seven headed beast. That is, the one possessing the spirit of the abyss and his free thinking.
Struggle against his seven brutal heads and break his three fingered claws. That is, the statutes of the ecumenical councils and its various inscriptions.
Which are according to the number of his pseudo-christian, superstitious, ritualistic sects.Whose number is found upon the neck of the spotted beast of the sea. Book 3 article 22
Whose discription and picture is found in MGR book 3 article 19.
