Is a children's bible supposed to be without error?
We were reading a story from Riley's bible the other day about Jesus healing on the Sabbath. It opened the story by mentioning the fifth commandment of doing no work on the Sabbath. I read it and stopped and said "that's not right". Riley said, "what, we can do work on the sabbath?" (I'm kidding). I grabbed my bible- one without error, I presume- to make sure I was right. And yep, the sabbath commandment is #4- not #5. So Children's bibles are probably exempt from the inerrant argument, as Riley did remember another time he found a mistake in his bible that we had to look up as well.
