Which would you give a child to read: a Donald Duck comic book or the Bible?

Question

I personally think the child will grow up happier, and better adjusted by reading the comic book. He certainly would have less guilt and fear.

Answer 1

why not the children's Bible

Answer 2

A french MA student recently pointed out how Disney comics was great startpoint to get interest in sciences. Carl Barks stories (who wrote/draw more than 6000 pages of Donald Duck adventures) is the most published human in all times. His work is the second most published after the Bible. According to that, your alternative sounds serious. If the child read Disney now, then get interest in science, he will be able to be have enough critical sense to read Bible not as a "word-to-word revelation", and maybe able to use it in a better way than so many people over the World. So... Donald Duck comic book.

Answer 3

A comic book of Donald Duck reading the Bible.

Answer 4

There are Children's Bibles that are made of sturdy materials and are actually not complet versions of the Bible. In other words, they don't have some of the more graphic content that children are not ready for that would cause fear. As Christians, we teach our children from Bibles about God's love, the miracles that Jesus performed and the different prophets and people in the Bible. We help them memorize key passages of scripture and teach them to have a close personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The thing is, when you have a relationship with Him, there is no fear. You should try it. Perfect love cast out fear. He loves you more than anyone you've ever known and He's just waiting for you to let Him show you just how much that truley is.

Answer 5

I prefer to give you a donald duck comic book and a bible to a child.

Answer 6

I think it depends on
a. how old the child is
b. What one means by "give".
If it is a small child one would need to explain and assist the child to understand the Bible. I think the Bible can be a scary book.
On the other hand there is nothing wrong with entertainment, which is what the comic is.
They are both good and bad options , depending on the circumstances.

Answer 7

The Holy Bible Douay-Rheims Version

With Challoner Revisions 1749-52
1899 Edition of the John Murphy Company

IMPRIMATUR:
James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, September 1, 1899.

Pope Damasus assembled the first list of books of the Bible at the Roman Council in 382 A.D. He commissioned St. Jerome to translate the original Greek and Hebrew texts into Latin, which became known as the Latin Vulgate Bible and was declared by the Church to be the only authentic and official version, in 1546.

The DR New Testament was first published by the English College at Rheims in 1582 A.D. The DR Old Testament was first published by the English College at Douay in 1609 A.D. The first King James Version was not published until 1611. This online DRV contains all 73 books, including the seven Deutero-Canonical books (erroneously called Apocrypha by Protestants). These seven books were included in the 1611 KJV, but not in later KJV Bibles.

The whole Douay-Rheims Bible was revised and diligently compared with the Latin Vulgate by Bishop Richard Challoner in 1749-1752 A.D. The notes included in the text were written by Dr. Challoner.

The DR Bible was photographically reproduced from the 1899 edition of the John Murphy Company, Baltimore, Maryland, by Tan Books in 1971. Eventually, this edition was optically scanned to produce a large text file which this publisher used for creating this website, with the aid of text-processing software.

One important goal of this project was to preserve the original text "as is", without making any changes in the wording, because the original text had the Imprimatur of James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, dated Sept 1st 1899.

The text file was checked quite thoroughly by software written by the publisher for punctuation errors and verses out of order. The index was humanly checked for misspelled words and the corrections were made to the text. However, some spelling errors may still be present in the text. Many verses were out of order in the original file. These have been corrected.

Every effort was made to ensure that this online version is an exact match to the original printed version. No words were added or ommitted from the text, except for correcting errors caused by the scanning process. No words were rearranged. No verse numbers were changed, except in the case of Psalm 9.

Psalm 9 originally contained 21 verses and there were 2 versions of Psalm 10, numbering 1-18 and 1-8. This obviously caused a conflict, so it was decided to make the first Psalm 10 as the last part of Psalm 9 and renumber the verses 22-39. This retains the same numbering as all the Douay Rheims. Note, in the Protestant Bibles the numbering of Psalms 10 through 146 differs by one.

Answer 8

Definitely Donald.

Answer 9

The children's bible. It will give the child morals and a code to live by. A comic book is nothing but silliness.

Answer 10

I was raised in a Christian home.....Bible reading was forced.

I am no longer a Christian.
I have 3 children, and I have not suggested that any of them read the Bible, although it is available in my home for them to read.

They read comic books or novels or whatever they choose to read. They are reasonably well-adjusted healthy happy kids.

Enough said.
