Costco Apologizes For Labeling Bibles Fiction

Mark 13:13 “You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.”

Costco has released a statement apologizing for at least one of their stores selling Bibles with a label on them that read “fiction.”

“We deeply regret the mislabeling of the Bible and meant no offense to anyone,” read an e-mail statement. “The buyer has let us know that this was an error and the books are being pulled off the shelves to be re-marked.”

Fox News says Costco sent them a statement claiming their distributor made a mislabeling mistake on a small percentage of Bibles but that the company should have spotted and corrected the mistake before the books were placed on store shelves.

A pastor in Simi Valley, California who snapped a picture of the Bible and posted it on twitter first discovered the labeling. The photo of the Bible went viral and led to hundreds of complaints to Costco’s offices.
