Soreza: i wonder why men of God use tablet instead of bible,i ask myself is it that the bible is 2 heavy for them,or they assume the word of God(bible)is outdated that tabelt is modern,i still wonder wot example they give to their member,Simply(DUMP THE BIBLE FOR TECHNOLOGY)
I strongly and vehemently believe that you would 've condemned the conversion of the holy word of God from wood or stone-like tablet to paper type

Youngzedd: Good morning and happy Sunday to all.

I have been wondering going to church with my tablet instead of physical bible. Although I haven't tried it for once.

Now, I wanted to ask if Physical bible and bible in tablet equals the same, as in powers and miracles?


Your contribution pls.
you know sometimes the so called tablet could be a distraction.on the other hand, most of the things we attach meanings to are not bad really. Just let the spirit of God lead you

there's nothing to apologise about....
both are of the same value. the bible also went to the printing mill where it was printed(technology) - same as having it copied and coded into a gadget(advanced technology).

There's no difference, dude. The "word" is written both in the paper book and in the Bible app. Besides the Bible you carry must have been typed and saved in "soft form" before being printed. Now imagine it wasn't printed but instead inscribed into an app and installed in gadgets for convenience.. Doesn't get simpler than that.
As for the miracle aspect., well I only have one word to say - "Nollywood"..
If we are to go back to the way the books of the Bible were written, we'd be carrying raggedy old scrolls about .
The printing press used to popularise the Bible must have been opposed by blockhead conservatives at the time of invention.
Heck! Did you know it was illegal at a time to translate the Bible into any other language than Latin?
The world is progressing. If you don't follow such harmless trend , you'll definitely be left behind.

'all things are expedient but not all things are lawful'....Paul speaking

taking a tab to church isnt bad at all, in fact, you can achieve alot with it n tech savvy guys like us couldnt do without.

on the other hand, it comes with its short comings too:

basically

Distraction: it can distract both you and the people sitting next to you; the bright LCD light is ever eye catching to those sitting by. it can also distract you because you might just remember you forgot to send that important mail, then right there, you scribble the mail away while the msg is on going. a lot of types of distraction it comes with out there.

and secondly, theft....it can be stolen,,,,not every1 is in church with the right motives..drop it on the sit while you praying your heart out, and the next thing, it is gone...vanished


all all forms of electronic devices are not allowed in my church. must be turned off. sad sad

the only way is the old rugged bible way ! cheesy cheesy cheesy

you either come with yours or verses are displayed on the huge TV/Projector screens.... tongue

I prefer a regular Bible, seen peeps playing solitaire and other games on their tabs ,I think a tab is OK if it's only the Bible dats installed in it!.other stuff can distract even if its school work, important emails, and not to talk of dirty movies and circular jams innit! for such few hours dat you need to hear clearly from God thru his servant pls use the hardcopy! as someone pointed out, for study you can use all other platforms. some churches even project all stuff so there's hardly need to open anything except your wordbook for notes. Shalom

Many cheap Android tablets abound in the market, I don't think it's cos they can't afford it but it's a matter of mental self-enslavement.

Pls where is casting out demon(s) with a bible found in the bible?I strongly believe we cast out demons or the the devils with the word of God in our mouth and not with a book.
It's worthwhile to state here that the word 'bible' means book so it could either be in a soft copy or hard copy

this point is weak....
if the mind of the bible carrier is also filled with lust and immoral acts, then he is as bad as the person with pörn on his gadget.

There is nothing to argue about here. You can go to church with Bible either in paper form or in your tablet.

But here is the caution:
Don't go there to pose with your tablet. God sees our hearts, knows our motives and weighs our actions

Angry Birds isn't the only way to get distracted in church, it's all about self control and your heart to be honest, using the technology we have for scripture purposes is perfectly fine in my opinion

Yungwizzzy: Bro, are you talking of the same tablet that has over 200 bluefilms??

Well, the devil is not scared of your phone or table or laptop but the physical Bible is fire to his eyes.

Though, no matter where you read your Bible from if you don't work according to it's instructions its useless!!

Really? The devil is afraid of the physical Bible? Why should the devil be afraid of a mere physical paper when the same devil quotes the same chapters of the Bible?

Yall have been watching too many Mount Zion movies where they use the Bible to pray, the words of the Bible is your weapon, the fire that the devil is scared off, not the physical paper.

Olumidzti: Yes there's a difference. Physical bible is hardcopy while tablet is soft copy. Also on a tablet, while reading zechariah, you could get a notification about how your girlfriend just changed her relationship from 'in a relationship' to 'single' on facebook...

What does yur ipad or tablet contains(applications) b4 taking it to church?. Unclad pixs. Or Nude pix?. You ar open to narrow temptation.

You can see dat devil is wise, he can rmind u of open up yur facbuk,twiter,whatup or what hav u,diverting yur atentio frm God msage at dat point.
Even devil mayb telin u, d msag is old(irrelevant),its anchor is also older(belittle)but yur oldest is foolishness,ther4 u can port to tablet,ipad and do smething beta!
Many a time,(nt al d time), i usd to drop my phne at home wen goin to churh service,just to ensur my % atentio to d God's msage
Note: tablet or ipad should neva b replacement but complement of the Holy Bible to abstain from temptation dat may want to ocur inside and outside the church. ALTHOUGH WE ARE IN THE WORLD OF TECHNOLOGY yet CARE MOST BE TAKEN. God bless!

there are more distractions in the church from the ushers moving up and down trying to get people seated to the people behind you discussing arsenal's defeat.
