Unless you mean it is an error that it is recorded in the Bible at all.

Great points,
Trapped.
Failures, even by great men of God, are recorded in the Bible for our admonition and encouragement, and that's why Paul tells us that "
all scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." (II Tim 3.16)
Even the betrayal by Judas, formerly Jesus' "familiar friend," (
Psalm 41.9; 55.12-14) a trusted companion, warns us that it is never wise while following the Lord to compromise the truth, accept short term gains, condemn an innocent man, bear false witness, succumbing to filthy lucre, saving one's own skin -- all of which I saw when LSM's Blendeds held their Kangaroo Court at Whistler Resort to condemn and quarantine Titus Chu of Cleveland.
The Blendeds would be wise to learn all the lessons of Judas.
