You are the only person and the op that has written something reasonable. I see the bible app as something you use when u are not in church. I see the church as a sacred place. Phones and whatever gadgets u carry are a no no for me. I can use the bible app at home, in a bus, anywhere but when I go to church, the traditional way still stands.

deejay2x67:
FYI the word himself was with them (Jesus christ) 'the word became flesh' remember?
Jesus Christ was their Bible.
My question is, how can one be spirit filled without the Bible? I mean, if you're not frequently With the word, how can you study? Then become spirit filled?
Though I know there are people that only hold the Bible for show-off.
My point is, there's no spirit filled Christian who isn't seen frequently with the Bible. The word 'frequently' as used in the context also connotes 'study'.

You see all this pentecostal churches eee, na dem dey make churches this days look less attractive, not valued/regarded, go to their church na there #Godwin is the testimony song, na there pastor will be preaching with his Ipad, na there that comedians are invited to the pulpit to crack a joke, na there i first heard that MASTURBAT!ON is not a sin and also Abortion is not a sin, na there that all the worldly things are promoted and spiritual things declined, na there they tell you that if you are poor then you are not achild of God, na there a male visitor will come to church and a female church menber is aked to welcome him and vice versa (what are they thinking)...... ONLY GOD WILL SAVE and JUDGE US sha

I would gladly use a scroll if I see one. How do u justify using a bible app on a phone or gadget that has porn on it. It makes no sense. Many youths have porn and do all sorts wiv their phones. To me it's like putting the bible and porn on the same shelf. Even we as humans, when we read the bible, we are meant to be purified in truth and in spirit. Not to talk of when reading that same bible through a gadget that has uncountable atrocities.

[size=20pt]. yes I agree with you what if the devil comes to attack you at night. will point you phone to him the same phone where u have pornn and davidos music Christians of nowadays [/size]

if u actually read ur Bible u will know Jesus said a Christian shud have quite time. One shud set private time aside for d WORD OF GOD. Stop all ur hypocritical comments bro. Carrying is not a requisite to proof u study it. Ur comments shows u don't actually study d word of God.

I think smart phone is not a substitute for the bible but it's smart to have the bible app. On sunday or anytime it's important to go with your bible because if you don't, it's like going the farm to work without tool. I'll share a short story below for others to learn from.

A friend called me from the police station that he needs my help to get him out of there on a saturday morning, i was surprised to hear that because i met him on his way to Vigil the other night.

On getting to the police station, I saw my friends name on the detention board. I went through all the police bail process to get him out of there , Thank God he was ok.

On our way home I asked him what happened, he said on his way back to the hostel from church the police stopped him and asked where he was coming from. He told them he was coming from church vigil and they requested to see his bible na so my friend carry him phone and tried to show dem the bible app but it didn't convince the police men. so they arrested him.

i just couldn't help but laugh because if he had his bible on him, it would have been a different story. So its important to go with your bible to church

Happy Sunday.


FTC... . On my birthday very cool, I use this opportunity to wish myself, the Excellency Gov Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos state happy birthday and my good friend Olaniran Jamiu Ajibola.

Shoki on my mind.

chrisja:
I'm very sure your church and their security are not doing God's plan by setting such laws. They are walking in the Flesh so as to look holy and righteous in the eyes of men...

Are you God? Stop judging then

we should just go back to using SCROLLS instead

Reasons why sincere Christians should take the book known as the bible to church not a smartphone


1) Holding a bible shows one to be a Christian in public,it acts as an 'identity card' for every Christian. Ipads,smartphones does no such thing

2)Civilisation/technology has given us world where homosexuality is gradually being accepted,female reverends and gender changes all in contrast to biblical pronouncements. The church shouldn't follow the ways of this present world so closely

3)Christians lose the essence of the bible like the order of biblical books(after genesis is exodus.....3rd John then revelations) as a simple google search provides answer in comparison to scrolling round the bible and get fully acquitted with it

4) Ipads,smartphone substitutes acts as sources of distraction in churches with calls,pings,alerts and 'nairalanding' available at one's beck/call.

5) Ipads,smartphones serve one primary aim to most holders,showoff

6) 'battery low'

evegran:
OP I agree with you.
Honestly, the paper bible feels more connected to God and holy. Whenever I use my ipad's bible, I still check other apps and even games I'm afraid-so I decided to stick with my paper bible. Less distraction and it's more connected to God.

if that will restore the sanity the church of today lacks, then why not??

deejay2x67:
he looked very casual, plus without bible. My church was burnt twice during crisis. Yes! Am a northerner, Kaduna to be precise. It's the only church in a Muslim (hausa) dominated area.
My church didn't set such laws, don't know wah you saw but I said 'security check point' the soldiers were on their duty post.
Next time, try to comprehend someone's post., then try this method called 'asking' before jumping into conclusions

Oriafo123:
mind u d PHARISEES were codemned by Jesus Christ for hypocritical abt their faith.

Here is one of the reasons I hate having a comment of mine being on the first/second page of a possible front page topic, you will get nicompoops like the petit batard above with no brain to carry on an intelligible discourse quoting you.

gragraboy:

Even the hard copy bible you are advocating for should not be accepted. You people should use scrolls and stone tablets......African Backwards mentality.

chilet4cici:


for your mind u just speak english...pls correct your nicompoops and batard... fool

Hmm

Stop it

@op ooya lets sit and analyze.

No 1. Your point is valid

NO.2 Please tell your church not to use microphone anymore. Here's a list of things your church should do
. Bring down their website
. Stop using phones
. Stop driving cars
. Stop printing fliers
anything technology or civilization had brought. Infact, if you really do want to follow this your principle, we should all read our bibles on stones and not papers.

No 3. .... ok I'll just stop here.

But here's my point. I am a Christian, a very strong believer. I agree ipads can be a source of distraction. So can a lady in mini skirt who seats beside me in a church.

We should all Embrace civilization and technology and use it to promote the gospel and not try to oppress it with what we think should be.

Some people have the most ridiculous ideas.
