Christians! Christians!! Christians!!! for how long will you keep going after shadows instead of the real thing? who told you the word written on mere parchments and electronic screens matter? Jeremiah 31:33 made it clear that God's ultimate medium for his word is for it to be written upon our hearts, not upon papers that can be torn or lost..Hebrews 10:16 also affirms this

"This is the new covenant I will make with my people on that day, says the LORD: I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds."

Most of our pastors now prefer to read words of God from their smart phone and other devices instead of Holy book (bible), what's your take on this ? Is it right or wrong ? Can a demon be cast out with Ipad or tablet ?

First of all what makes a book holy? The word of God or the material used?
If we go by your argument, what you refer to as holy book is not holy at all - that means to make it 'holy', we have to go back using parchments and scrolls.

The latest technological and electronic developments have been foretold by the ever-true and unchanging Word of God.

Mosed had the first commandment on stone, read from stone. Some people wrote it on there walking staff. To remember and read, due to advancement in technology from Egypt, they had to start copying and writing the word of God on papyrus. In Jesus time it was the scroll an advances papyrus. As times went on it became paper or bible that u call it. Now technology has so advanced we have it on our tablets aka ipad. I will put it back to you, do you go to church to judge the Pastor? Or do u go to listen to the word of God?

It ain't good
holding the main bible is more holy than ur phone or whatever
apart from reading the holy words from the bible directly can u put porn in it ? Can u charge bible before using it ?
Ur phone is not holy enough
and that ain't swag
There are people who hide bad stuffs too between the pages of bible. So this should not be a valid argument

The original manuscripts of the Bible were not written in a book, but on stone, papyrus, parchment, and other forms of written text. The printing press for books did not arrive till about 1450, so at one point the Holy Bible we regard as traditional was once a "new" thing. I wouldn't be surprised if some people protested that this was not the traditional way for the Word of God, in the same way we are now protesting about reading from tablets and phone.

The presentation of text changes over millenia (tablets, papyrus, paper, pixels), but the Word of God is everlasting. In other words, I think it is OK to read from any media, be it scrolls, book, or electronic.

moreover you can't cast a demon out by the bible but by the revelation hidden in the bible....study the word...in whatever form ...get the word.

The letter killeth but the spirit giveth life. 2corinth 3 vs 6. The word of God is spirit and life, so it's not the medium it came from but the how u apply it for greater and positive impact.

What do you mean by 'their ipad...' instead of the 'holy bible'?
You should reason like an educated person.

What makes the bible holy? The content or the paper material?
Do you know who produced the paper the words were printed on?

The jews used stone- the ten commandments were engraven on stones, then later changed to scrolls... what is most important is the content and not the material!

What do you mean? It is no more worldly than a printed book. There is a lot of technology and science behind the making of a book, but no matter the medium you find it, it is the Word of God that you should read and absorb into your heart and mind.

Everything is based on motive...
The question of 'WHY?'

What's the motive behind using the iPad?
If its to 'show-off', then its very wrong and could be seen as a sin.

But if its to advance the ministration like using so many others verses then its very okay and not a sin.

Its based on the MOTIVE.

Formally I thought it was wrong.
But recently, I saw one of my daddy's in the Lord - Bro. Gbile Akanni use it.

Hence its based on the MOTIVE.

How many of those pastors are spirit filled. The bible says" the spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God". Some of the so called pastors are paper weight pastors. Are u going to resist or cast out demons with laptop. When blind leads blind, both end up in the pit. We should not deceive ourselves with fake doctrines. Some of the pastors are not men of God. They are endtime Pastors.
it is not the bible it self that cash out demons but your faith and the word you command

Since the bible is our standard .As long as there's no scripture in the bible that is against using iPad or printed copies of the bible I see nothing wrong with it though I prefer the Printed copy for myself cos of distraction .

I think what matter are the words, and not where they were written. And what matter most are the words inside us, as in, in our hearts and not criticising others.

You are an endtime illiterate sir!
Do you cast out devils with the bible?

You cast out devils with your words in the name of Jesus as a believer!

"These signs shall follow them that believe, in my name they shall cast out devils"
He didn't say "with their bibles, they shall cast out devils"

Try and read your bible before criticizing the one contained in the IPAD

The 10 commandments was written on Tablets.
grin grin

Let's stop this crude mindset.

If where we read the bible from is relevant then paper is also a sin since some of them were actually written on stones.

Was the 10 commandment printed on a book like print version of the Bible? Perhaps you should also look for the original stone it was engraved on.
