In the old days, books were very popular with little or no digital format. But Now I discovered that many of those books are now available in E - format. Even in churches today pastors now read Bible from tablets

As I am typing this morning, I just read my daily devotional from my Tecno camon C8 phone.
My question is, are our smart devices replacing printed books

amtaken:
A pastor once said that there's nothing wrong in using a smartphone as Bible so long as that is the only purpose that particular smart phone serves you.


That is to say that you should not use the smartphone you use as a Bible for calls, text messages, music, browsing, porn (like some do), games, secular research etc and I quite agree with him.

feldido:
Does it make any difference?
The Message is what matters.

It's even better on E formats, cos people spend more time on their devices than on printed books.

jayriginal:

What's the rationale for that?

amtaken:
The Bible is a Holy book.

Yea, yea, the bible is an holy book ebook

Or holy app...
Holy software...
Holy programme...
Holy texts...

Joshthefirst:
Before we had bound books, there were scrolls. Technology makes things easier.


Its the words inside that matter.

jayriginal:


Is that why you shouldn't use the device for anything else?

It's not practical for the average man.

amtaken:
The words inside matter but you should not use the phone you use in watching porn (in case you do) fighting on social networks, making romantic calls, exchanging sinful texts and playing videos as Bible. A man of God said so and I totally agree.

amtaken:
If you must use your device as a Bible you should ensure to keep it (the said device) holy at all times.


Bye.

This question has been on my mind since. But from my personal believe, it's normal. During d days when bible was been written and assembled. Written on scrabbles was d technology invoke then. Later bible was transfer to ink n paper, then it was typed when the technology improved. Now d technology has improve again bible need to follow the trend also. If u r thinking about the immorality that is attached to smartphone and devices have u thought of the ones that r attached to ink and paper? Or scrabbles?



So it's a BIG yes for me. Let d trend continue.

Joshthefirst:
will watching porn and making romantic calls and sinful texts corrupt the words of the bible?

What if the porn watcher or sinful texter eventually reads the bible and the words change his life?

We should try as much as possible to pierce every dark region with the light of Gods word, and not run away from sinful people.

You just took the word out of my mouth. Well said.

Books, letters, Banks, Money, even musical instruments, are all going extinct in favour of technology.

The coming age is digital.
