[b][/b] Will the printed Bible soon be a thing of d past? Out of fashion? I doubt! Inasmuch as advent of TV, satellites, internet have not totally replaced Radio! And Handset Wrist watch.
It's common these days to see people on pews & pulpits carrying digital bible on their smartphones, ipad & other e-devices. Do u mind if ur Reverend Priest or Pastor climb the pulpit with ipad or other e-gadgets to conduct Mass or Worship service?
Those who use it argue that it's portable and grant you access to many translations at once. Some persons have fear the electronic device may develop fault or battery runs down while in use, others argued that it's worldly, as The Bible identifies one as a christian! The question is: Does carrying big or small printed(paper) bible adds anything to ur holiness? Definitely Not! Neither does digital! U are not saved by The Bible but by Christ in You!
The major issue is whether d Word is in ur Heart. Are u a doer? Not a carrier or hearer ONLY! However, if the reason you wrap your Bible with newspaper, or put in d pocket or use digital bible while going to Church is because you are ashame or shy to carry the printed version, then your Faith has a Question mark!
Personally, I use d e-gadget for personal studies, or when I'm not with the printed version. I regard The Bible highly as a SACRED BOOK hence I take the Printed version to worship service. I relish in flipping through the Sacred Pages!
That's my view, pls have your say!

The 10 commandments where on stone, the first bible books where on scrolls and papyrus, there's nothing wrong in advancing with technology.
Its misplaced envy that brings people's issues with the ipads and co.

There is nothing wrong with using digital bible.The bible was initially on scrolls before it was eventually printed on paper.If not for the technology of printing,just imagine how inconvenient it will be for us to go about with scrolls to church,office,etc.Now technology has further advanced from the prints to digital which makes it much easier to access the contents of the scriptures.You can have a lot of bible versions on your phone,computer and other electronic gadgets.Isn't this wonderful? The primary issue is reading, meditating and doing the Word.The means of doing that,be it via scrolls,printed paper(we can even decide to write out the whole bible in a notebook if we like )or digital(phones,iPad,desktop,laptop etc) does not matter.The major and primary issue is this'BE THE DOER OF THE WORD'

Ummm, God wrote the first commandments on stones...

Maybe you should take stones to church..

Well said. A good number of Christians fall in this category.

No, @ topic.

Even though I prefer my e-bible,I love the swagger of carrying my paper bible with me,hearing gossippers whispering to themselves-that guy is a good christian

Bible is bible

I BET YOU LIKE PRAYING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET SO EVERYBODY CAN SEE YOU *SMDH AT THIS PHARISEE*

i just like the paper version although i use the e-version occasionally.

but i need the internet sometimes when i do that, for cross referencing whereas i dont always, with the paper one.

I'm only trying to catch some fun through that statement,I hate it when people pray out loud and even as you've already said,only the pharisees does that.God bless you

When there was power outage during program this evening,I regretted not going to church with my e-bible because I couldn't read through the texts in my paper bible.I think that's another advantage of the e-bible,somehow.
