Bible burnings
Posted on September 17, 2010 by Pastor Tom
Last weekend we witnessed international outrage at the prospect of a Florida pastor burning the Quran. I disagree completely with this pastor’s approach. I don’t think its the way to win Muslims. I love Frontier’s slogan “With love and respect, inviting all Muslim peoples to follow Jesus.” But the outrage about this potential book burning made me wonder how the media might respond to the news of Bible burning.
The editor of Christianity.ca writes this:
“Incidents of Bible burning, however, receive far less attention. Greg Musselman, communications director for Voice of the Martyrs Canada, says Bible burnings occur so often internationally that even Voice of the Martyrs rarely reports them. He could only locate one article (see link below to “We need to destroy it”) published recently about a Bible burning is a small village in Laos.”
How many Bibles do we have in our offices, backpacks and homes? Let’s remember the folks whose Bibles have been burned with no one to speak up for them.
We need to destroy it!
In restricted nations around the world, Bibles are burned, shredded or confiscated every day.
