I have given it some thought previously and came to the conclusion that while the Quran is obviously not a book that I would encourage anyone to read (understatement) the public burning of such a book by Christians would only cause more hatred toward the church and damage our testimony as followers of Christ. <br />Glad to hear that Pastor Jones decided to call off the plan. Praise God!<br />Thanks for sharing!Miss Sarah Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07657575302392250295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-970095612678168609.post-23070709956071433352010-09-11T11:42:34.474-07:002010-09-11T11:42:34.474-07:00Kyle, since I posted this Pastor Jones has called ...Kyle, since I posted this Pastor Jones has called off his church's plan to burn the Quran, a decision which I applaud. :-)Mark Hutchinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08456836174269938022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-970095612678168609.post-76977832885117424912010-09-11T11:18:42.829-07:002010-09-11T11:18:42.829-07:00I heard about the plans for the Quran burning on t...I heard about the plans for the Quran burning on the radio, and yes,Pastor Jones needs to rethink his decision.
