biko....the most important thing is the word not where it read from
moreover you [b]can't cast a demon out by the bible [/b]but by the revelation hidden in the bible....study the word...in whatever form ...get the word.
Jesus wins

Bro this Is only an issue because of the way religion is practised, for example in Islam (@least from observing my friends) you can't put anything on top the quaran...imagine? Ordinary book is so highly regarded.

And in christian miracle services u see pastors using bibles to hit people, touch people, point @ people and they get healed.

People holding bible n quaran to swear (even @ courts)
Lemme not talk about naija movies own lmao

The concept of "the bible" was always a powerful book filled with special power... people just can't imagine that same power being in a tab or ipad. Lols

The 10 commandments was written on Tablets.

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.
Excellent! Since God Himself decided to dish out His words to the Israelites on the tablets, so, what's wrong in having the bible on it?

All this our over sabi "brothers in the Lord" sef una own dey tire person,everybody just reading different meaning but get this why would a pastor drop the bible and use an ipad instead I mean its not like the hard paper bible has been outdated if it has then no problem but for God sake the bible is still very much around or do they still produce the scrolls like those days again?

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
I know many of u are agents of the devil so I'm not surprised. I know many of u will bombard my thread, we are in endtime and I expect it. What do we call power like old times. No wonder ur pastor are legalizing masturbation in the church and u are steadily following because it conforms with ur waywardness. U better allow christ into ur life before u perish. That's is the bitter truth cos my spirit tells me u are not of God really

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 ?

The Bible has existed in all the different forms of of writings according to civilization...book form of storing information is on it last days.

I scarcely write on papers, this days.

Demon is cast out by the power in the word of God. The word you know is what will set you free. The word I speak to you are spirit and alive. The word of God are like two edged sword which pieces through bone....
Etc.
The word is what transforms us as we read them.
So words can be written on stones, scroll ,paper, computer, tablet, or on many other forms. It does not change the power in it.

if phone is unholy why do u use it to do business or at home.. You have to change your mentality. Being hypocritical is not good, what u don't use in church don't use it at home. The church should be as holy as your home, what makes u holy is the Holy Spirit in u, not the building or people around u.. . I rest my case

Advancement in the world make' a man a mark for satan to shoot out. TB Joshua

There is nothing bad using Ipad or whatever to read the Bible, when d temptation comes can u stand it as a Pastor, Bishop, Evang, Brother and Sister in the Lord.

Sum wil boast am reading my Bible on my Smart Phone. Yea it good but when d taught of diverting 2 ponography and other items against word of God are you able or capable 2 manage ur taught and over come it.

Such you won't get from your Holy Bible. Holy Bible is not the word on written pages of paper but the one in your heart.

All boasting should be excluded bcox it not by power or might

There really is no use hauling a big book around just like the hypocritical pharisees Jesus himself criticised and claiming holiness as a result because as good Christians know: the bible is and should be virtual- written on the hearts and minds of true believers,its creed showing forth in the ways of the people. You can have your Bible in any forms,be it from memory, virtual,cloud stored,electronic,tablets,paper- as far as you follow its teachings.That is what is of essence.

The government that bible of old time if you must know is what you are the same that has made you to assume a superiority position as to call others agents of the devil... the Bible was actually in stones, clay then scroll, while the and every known form of writing in every age.

Dont use your limited knowledge or understanding as a benchmark to judge others... E-bible allows you carry as many versions as you want in one bible app like my sword Bible.

The effectiveness of the word is not in the former you carry it but your depth in it for it your depth that determines your depth of manifestation... You can a bible that requires a truck to carry around and still be a plaything of the devil.

If one said he/she is a Follower of Christ and understands the Word of God, this kind of question wouldn't have pop up from.
Now to the topic, when Jesus walked the earth, according to the Bible, He was not seen carrying Bible around, but Scriptures were 'Inside' him. Recall when He was being tempted by satan, what He simple said to counter all satan was trowing at Him was simple "It is written." Meaning that he has scriptures in him, not carrying the Big bible that some think and futile with it.
Study the world of word by yourself and avoid controversial questions that alters peoples faith.
Technology has Advantages and Disadvantages, it's better we use it as a easy medium to propagate, teach and expand God's kingdom here on earth, and not the other way round.
The word of God is not the Hardcopy/paper Bible you see, the word of God is that which corresponds to God's word, that which is Correct and Right. The word of God is God talking...

a pastor hits you with bible because of only 2 things
1 lack of knowledge that it is what he speaks that demon understands.
2 when he becomes too emotional about your condition
if you don't what to use soft bible no problem stick to your side and leave other family members alone after all we all will not ware the same size of crown on the last day.

IDOLATRY... Begins when we begin to add more importance to the physical . that is why you see people placing the bible under their pillow before they sleep, thinking that it is the book that would protect them. It is the word that is everlasting, not the book. The book is just a book until the words written in them become important to us. It is the esteem you place on the word that makes you place importance on where it is coming from. Stone, Book or pad

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?


U are indeed wise!!

Look at it in this Perspective ,The paper that is use to Print the Bible ,does the paper has any Supernatural power ? the word of God remains Powerful and nothing happens to the Letters after all the Original Text were not written in English ,Does its Translation and Prints change the super natural powers, No ,I see nothing wrong in reading from Tablets ,Printing Machine were never in existence during bible revelations ,Irrespective of what its written on word of God remains.Sentiments Apart, Over spiritual Apart .

@OP, focus on content not container... I have about 7 study bibles and over 20 translations but each I'm going out to preach, I use my IPad. The word of God is Spirit, it is the spirit behind it that works not the container....
Ask those who hide bibles under pillow if it has ever saved them from evil attack... When Satan attacked Jesus, did he show him the container or content??
Just Negodu ajuju....
I want to believe the op doesn't even have a bible.... Prove me wrong by showing a bible with ur name written on it.
