it depends, you can go with sleeping pill if the sermon is dry, or panadol if you have headache or maybe anti malaria if mosquitoes are there, or like me you can go with nothing if you beleive in miracles |

In other to avoid unneccessary argument. There is no difference in paper and electronic bible, both are not the original form of the word of God, they are product of technology. The difference will now be the user, the bible says "Abide in me and let my word abide in you". If you have any of these bible and you dont study it, meditate in it and obey it. It wil stil be useless. "not the hearer nor the speaker will be justified but the doer of the word" MY STAND: You have to know that no technology is perfect, it is more advisable to go to church with paper bible to avoid been distracted during service by other functions on the tablet (Facebook, other sites etc) and use tablets for your personal study at home or offices. Lastly, some christians are always ashame to carry bible openly, that is why they will just put new testament in their back pocket. they will now hide under technology to be safe |

Lord_Reed: If you read my post well, I said "I am not a Saint". So for the purpose of clarity and for the benefit of those with Pentium 33Hz brains..."I am not a Saint. I am a sinner. But I love God beyond the word Love and I try to make amends for my wrongs" Also in my post I said "If you can't memorize, carry paper bible" You conveniently left the Paper Bible I recommended and started suggesting that my head is full of distractions like the tablets we carry. If you had a Core 2 Duo or i7 processor in your brain, you would have not written what you wrote. You even qouted a bible verse for me, implying I claim to be more righteous and wiser than others. A claim I don't know where and how I claimed. You're simply a HYPOCRITE. Your type are the ones who conspired and crucified Jesus when he was on earth. Please JUDGE yourself and QUOTE bible for yourself FIRST before you judge or quote for others. NB: Lest I forget...I don't destroy myself. I uplift myself in my Lord Jesus Christ. If you do destroy yourself...well I guess you're a grown up and you've chosen your path. Congrats on destroying yourself. God bless you #endOfDiscussion |

numen: And the Jesus you uplift yourself in taught you to insult people who stand up to your bullsh*t right? My friend you proved yourself over righteous when you said that the paper bible is more efficacious than an electronic one, I've never heard such bullcrap before. Is the bible a talisman that contains more power in paper form? Do people not get distracted by their thoughts while in service supposedly listening to the word of God? You are indeed a sinner and tormented by your inability to see the real grace of God. You need help. |

numen: LoL! With every reply you give you show your true self. You are not a follower of Jesus, you just pay lip service. My dear person I pray you discover the true grace of God and depart from self righteousness. |

Going to church with an iPad or note isn't a bad thing, but the distraction it could bring you is not worth the trouble. When you rise up to pray or worship, would you concentrate on the worship with eyes closed and hands raised, leaving your iPad or the like on your seat to be nicked? If you do not connect with the Lord in service during praise and worship, I believe it totally defeats the purpose of coming to service in the first place So my dear friend, leave the obstacles at home for your other personal use and take a paper bible which you could mark and reference in case you have to pick it months later for reference. god bless you with wisdom and humility as he exhales you in Jesus holy name. Amen |

escavros: Going to church with an iPad or note isn't a bad thing, but the distraction it could bring you is not worth the trouble. A better reasoning but then you'd have to ask yourself several questions like why are there thieves in church, should ladies also leave their bags at home for fear of thievery? And your car parked outside it could be stolen too. |
Re: Going To Church With Tablet Instead Of A Bible - Any Difference? by escavros: 2:02pm On Aug 23, 2013 |
Lord_Reed: Amongst the 12 diciples was a judas, Cars can be stolen (but rarely), and ladies are adviced to keep their bags zipped and close while in church, but Ipad's could be more easily nicked by ladies, guys or kids. They are a good tool in church I agree, but I believe if you want to read up other versions and stuff, write them on a book and reference the scriptures in your bible study when you get home. While in Church, pay full attention as I believe doing any other thing but paying attention in church is a mark of disrespect to the God you so call Lord and master. |

escavros: My point is I don't see how a tablet is any more distractive than the 1001 things that already distract people. What distracts people the most are not even visible things or even things within their environment; there's the mother thinking of how to prepare lunch, the father thinking of how to make money for the family not to talk of those distracted by female forms and what the other person is wearing or not wearing. In essence what I am saying is outward form can never by more important than inward. As a man thinks so is he, distraction starts in the mind. I put off my phones while in church so why can't a tablet user put off his/her data while in church, concentrating on using the bible and listen/participating in the service? As I earlier noted the inward is more important than the outward however what is inward will surely be displayed outward. A person who will be distracted doesn't need a tablet to do the job so too a person who won't be distracted won't be distracted by a tablet. |

Lord_Reed: You are right, but the poster seems abit bothered and needs help to move forward. I'm not arguing points here, I'l encourage him to focus on building his faith by focusing on building his relationship and leaving the trivial things like carrying an Ipad or not. When he caeses to consider wheteher to take an ipad or not, he'l be in a more mature spiritual state to handle it as a distraction. A closer walk with Jesus is all I encourage especialy for people like us who are making a concious effort to make it into heaven. May God help you as you encourage others too in Jesus holy name Amen. |
