Book Burnings for God

From North Carolina comes this story [as found at: http://www.wtkr.com/news/wtkr-pastor-bible-burning,0,7909354.story],

A church leader in North Carolina is burning versions of the Bible he doesn't agree with.

Pastor Marc Grizzard of the Amazing Grace Baptist Church in Canton is building a bonfire on Halloween to destroy Bibles that aren't the King James Version.

His reason for burning the holy books?

"What we're doing is we're burning books that are satanic. I believe the King James version is God's preserve, inspired, in erect, infallible word of God."

The pastor also says well-known Christian ministers like Billy Graham and Rick Warren are heretics whose books belong on a long list of negative influences and should be thrown to the flames.

I am not quite certain what Pastor Grizzard means by his description of the KJV Bible in the 4th paragraph of the story, but it is obvious that he is following many others who hold the inerrant and infallible, God inspired version of the Bible is the KJV. Having been in Canton, NC, I can believe he and many others hold that view. This position certainly eliminates the issues of textual variations and the meanings of the Greek and Hebrew words used. This position also gives ample justification to many who believe the society described in the KJV is the one they want to exist now.

I do not agree with this position. For my money, a person who is serious about being faithful to God ought to use a translation that is based on the best manuscripts available. The KJV does not.

Even with that, however, what purpose does it serve to burn other translations other than a self-seeking desire for publicity?
