Assuming technology never figured out how to use tree pupls to make paper and have the scriptures printed on them....Something else would have been called the Bible

Its not the medium through which its read...its the understanding and believing that matters before God.

However it is only an advice to use the book bible than the tablet to avoid being DISTRACTED by the other features it contains.

Bible is a history book.

Written by Europeans.

The word Bible means 66 in Hebrew language.


The word Bible is derived from the Greek word Biblia which means little books.

Tablet and paper Bible are the least of your problems. Do you guys even understand what is written there in? With too many interpretations and the Holy Spirit doing a poor job there's much confusion than expected in the church. undecided undecided Maybe y'all should focus on having one voice/interpretation then you can argue on the platform the Bible is being disseminated.

browsing in church and get redirected to a porn site
@Fleewpeed: Redirected to porn sites is what you get when you download free apps. While in church you don't need to turn on your data when you have original offline Bible app.
The same content in printed Bible is what you have in App Bible.

The problem with Tablet, is DISTRACTION, remember on that Tablet is your boyfriend's/husband's or Girlfriend's/wife''s Pictures and messages, The boy or Girl you have always have crushed on just posted a new stunning picture, the company you applied to just sent you a message, Your Business Plan is there, Your Cover Letter too, Several websites you have subscribed to their notifications...... The list goes on.

Hardly can you use Tablet as a bible and not be DISTRACTED, sometimes subconsciously.
While is not a bad idea to use a tablet, the safest bet is using the traditional hard copy bible to prvent DISTRACTION at 100%.

Abi o!!, do we then carry stones to church? We can read our Bible any where with the tab. And after all, we already make holding a printed Bible a Sunday thing. May God help us to understand this topic .

Not only the pastor but the entire congregation at times.
I am not against pastors using a tablet, rather replacing the physical bible with a tablet in the pulpit

As the pastor enters the pulpit to bring the word of God to the people of God, no hard copy of the bible is found in his hand, gracing the top of the podium visible to the entire congregation as the book at the center of attention, instead the congregation sees a tablet.

I believe there are several potential dangers this subtle shift generates.

The Bible remains the Bible; hard copy or soft copy. You should reconstruct your topic.

None takes precedence. It's a matter of choice.

Parchment - Scrolls - Paper books - Tablets.

The medium may have changed, but the word of God remains the same.

hmm there is nothing wrong in this, except when it creates distraction to the user, if we were to lay emphasis on the use of physical bible to tablets , why was there evolution from scrolls to combined books now bible, that is evolution and whether we are ok with it or not, the fact the user is not distracted, everything is cool, the moment distraction sets in, that is when there is an issue

See ignorance at it peak, same way pastors replaced Camel and Donkey with ROLL ROYCE and RANGE ROVER while the Wooden Canoe Evolves to Gulfstream G650/G500 or Cessna Citation X+ Private Jets. NOT ONLY THE BIBLE BUT ALSO THE QURAN is going on 1 million Dollars expensive customized APPLE IPAD dedicated to RICH GENERAL OVERSEERS AND CHIEF IMAMS

The word of God is the word of God, whether it's on a stone tablet, a paper bible or an electronic tablet.

What a lot of Christians don't realise is that they're practising a form of idolatry (and mythism) when they ascribed supernatural powers to the book (a physical object).

I can imagine those who argue against electronic bibles (tablets, phones, e-readers) now, being around when paper bibles started coming out, they would have condemned it and insisted that worshippers should use stone tablets like the ones God gave to Moses

That moment when your pastor is casting demon from a possessed member with ipad
The bible is just like every other book but the contents which It carry is what makes it more powerful and that is what cast out demon. So far, both pad, bible, phone all serve the same purpose provided the WORD is the same.

Stop displaying your ignorance in public.You use the word of God to cast out demons and not the book or tablet.The power is the word and not the book.
Re: Have The Bible Lost Its Value? Replaced With Tablets In Churches by SOFTENGR: 10:16am On Oct 29, 2017
Original books of the bible were written on papyrus and kept in rolls. So the book form we have is even a modern version. So let's use the best form available to use.

The bible was not written on paper in the beginning. The efficacy of the bible is not on paper so whether it's on tablets, television, paper, black boards or whatever, what matters is the words and not where it is writ ten
