Some Pastors now want to rely on all the new technological gizmos. Personally, I'll be offended..don't like the idea of Pastors preaching after downloading series of ebooks, and bible pages from the net.

Its nothing but a distracting technique satan is using to cause many not to listen to the voice of God. Texting, playing games, surfing the internet, etc., but if you have the Bible open, you cannot just push a button or touchscreen and surf, etc.

Imagining praying and casting out demons with ipad..?

Also, can the members drop their Bible? atleast they have Bible apps on their phones

That's the path of the new world, so no offence will be taken. A time was when they had to read from the scroll, even before the scroll, stones were used as writing materials.

In know of private jet swag and now we have ipad swag


#pastors rolling in cash!

really? so what happens when people begin to inscribe bible pages on their "privates"? follow the new trend/path ?

Pastors don't preach on Ipods and Ipads...they preach their sermons in the church, and upload the messages online.

This pratice is to enable people who can't attend the service or people who reside in different states or countries to to still have access to such messages by going online to download them through their laptops, ipads, ipods and other gadgets.

If you ask me, I see nothing wrong in that.

the word of God is not the medium on which it is written(whether bible pages, scrolls, stones or PEDs) but the real word itself, which can be written on any suitable material.

Abeg talk better. How can the trend take us to the point where words will be written in 'privates'? I thot the world has gone beyond that. Fact, print media is gradually being phased out so also is the culture of paper books. Everything is now going e-book.

To me, it is totally wrong. They shoul stick to the practises of old. You can use that in your room but ah ah, not in the church now

My guy, why are you fussing over irrelevant stuff? Do you think that on the last day, God is going to judge between ipads and paper?

Oga, I'd like to introduce you to the 21st century .

If your concern is pastors & sheep alike being distracted during fellowship then your concern is a valid one - but if it is merely a gripe against the use of technological devices... same way someone would've been screaming about speakers and screen projectors as 'of the devil' decades ago.

And yes I can imagine praying & casting out demons with the ipad...there's this app(and there are many many like it) I have on my iphone, its called "PrayerWall", people from all over the world post their prayer requests and others pray for them. Are you going to say God cannot answer prayers like that?

Like I said, I'd like to introduce you to the 21st century, she's a pretty cool girl.

^ ^ ^ hmm. .Thanks for introducing me.ma'am, I appreciate

A little off topic but still relevant;

As an educated woman, do you honestly believe in that prayer wall nonsense? If God is almighty as you say he is do you really need to write prayers on aphone and send them to people to pray? Cant god read your mind? Or cant the person pray himself or pray with his/her peeps? What is the practical use of sending prayer requests around the world? Is god so narcissistic that he answers prayers only when enough people have sent it around the world and have prayed together?

Mr_Anony: Are you serious?

yes, I am

Joagbaje:

But I am not of the world..
You can not deny the fact that your church members & pastors surf social sites like facebook during sermons..

Satan is a tricky idi.ot, you know?.. His plan is to get us busy with the inter and intra net such that christians would be soooo lazy to take their bible out for evangelism..
And you and I know you really can't win a soul to christ on the net.. This minute you are preaching to him, next minute you both are seeing adds that can either distract you or lead you/him to sin..

As I suspected...your fight is not truly against technology - but rather the distraction it can cause - and this is a valid point. And you should try to seperate the two brother.

You already know what I believe. No wahala if you find it strange...I think people who eat rotten milk that is growing bacteria otherwise known as cheese - are strange.

Always digressing. How does this relate with the question asked?

No wahala at all.

You finding certain beliefs foolish ranks about the same as what the one-legged cockroach that lives in the crack of Emeka's vulcanizing shop in ajegunle thinks about Planck's Law in quantum mechanics...completely irrelevant.

Wetin consign Usain Bolt with a slow-marching parade? leave us and our foolish beliefs jare, we're quite happy by them.

Cheers bro

Btw. If you eat either yogurt or bread, you should not be complaining about the process of making cheese.

In a teaching ministry , people rather type in their notes in the bible application.

Satan is a tricky idi.ot, you know?.. His plan is to get us busy with the inter and intra net such that christians would be soooo lazy to take their bible out for evangelism..

I thought you're talking about church services, we don't do evangelism inside the church , we write notes.

And you and I know you really can't win a soul to christ on the net.. This minute you are preaching to him, next minute you both are seeing adds that can either distract you or lead you/him to sin..

I Have won soul on the net . But i agree it may not be as effective as face to face or bus evangelism.but using iPads and stuff in church is not really about Internet . It's about having your whole study materials in your palm. Bible translations etc. why will someone be surfing net in church? Except nairalanding

^ ^ Do you have a BIBLE? not bible apps

Babalawo sef don begin email concoctions. So if man of God like, may he use walkie talkie I no mind.
