Bro,there is nothing wrong with reading your Bible from your phone as long as the manner and your motive is godly.To simply read the passage and not a show of your expensive phone and you dont distract others by sending text messages,making or receiving calls.
Also,you have to be patient with other brethren.Over time,they will appreciate it.For me I use my phone to read other versions of the Bible in church at the request of the minister or for proper understanding of a passage, but The KJV is always handy.

The pastor is not the odd one out in his church, he's the leader. In his case, people'd want to copy him not 'embarrass' him. You're a dirty, ordinary jatijati only member na, know your level, lol. Condescend to men of low estate? Ever seen that in your phone Bible?

Before the printing press was invented the Bible was written on parchment. Does that mean we should be carrying around the Bible as scrolls of parchment. There is nothing wrong with using a phone. If you make an exception for the pastor, then you should make exception as well for the members.

Ali, i have not said it is wrong to use phone. I made that clear in a similar thread last month ithink. He the OP is a member, a follower. His pastor is a shepherd, a leader. There is a difference.

It's one of the problem with religious people. Scriptures should be read with the technology of the day . You ought not to have apologized ,you ought to have corrected her. When people used to write on stones,the law was written on stone, when technology advanced it was written on scroll until printing press was invented. Now the print media is fading away ,the future of the world is mobile gadget and Internet .but religious people always stay in the places others have left.

The print media is fading!! Indeed. You've started smoking abi? He should have apologised, stop confusing him. It's not only when you're wrong that you apologise. You should grow up. He did right by condescending to men of low estate, and abasing himself instead of proving mr. right. There's order in church, you of all people should know that.

What's wrong with shaking another's hand with the left hand, or collecting something from an older person with the left hand? We have people who make issues, and can get very furious about this. A wise person would use discretion and not create unnecessary trouble and scenes because he's now educated and has gone abroad. A foolish person will try to show everybody that he's right and doesn't care what others think or do.

If the church is in Silicon Valley, use your iPad (or any other device). If the church is in Ajegunle, use your Bible and stop stumbling the ganja brothers.

Good question, he is expected to activate his phone on silent mode so if stuff like that comes it, he can easily reject the call and minimize the text message page. I believe it is gonna be a smartphone since it has a reader

How or where you read your scriptures from is your business as long as you do not distractions others with it. The leader just wanted to embarrass the OP and show off. He should have apologised to avoid causing a distraction from the service but that does not make him wrong

Walai OP of i were in your shoes,I wouldn't apologize but quietly sit down,then if she went ahead to talk about it after i must have sat down,I'll then challenge her to tell me what makes the words of the bible in the phone different from those in prints.

I put my phone in flight mode when in church and read the scriptures from it,I see no wrong in what you did.

Do u have to mention Bishop Oyedepo? Did OP say anything about him? Why can't you just answer a question based on what was asked? Try not to talk negatively about anointed men of God even if you don't like them because it will have a disastrous effect on you. Pls take this advice and do not reply foolishly.

the earth is the Lords and the fulness there in, everything in the world is the Lords, he may decide using any means to express his words including your phone. they are only proving to be holy whereas they are not, they want to be holier than God.

The sister who embarrassed you must be misguided because i cannot for the life of me understand why you have to read the passage from your phone. There is no where in the scriptures that says you must read it from the Bible. Books are now on iphones and ipads, is the sister going to prevent me from reading Merchant of Venice from my ipad. I have stopped going to church with an ipad as some people might feel i am showing off even when i didnt buy it but it was given to me by my boss. Next time tell the sister there is nothing wrong with reading the Bible from your phone.

The sister goofed, but thank God you acted more mature than she did.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with reading you bible from your phone (as long as it is in flight mode, so calls and messages won't disturb).
