My pastor uses an ipad and I don't feel it has ever affected his ministry in a negative way. He uses in the same manner as a hardcover bible. I've never seen him use inappropriately while delivering God's word. It is connected to large screens on the wall so that we can view what he is teaching. Although, I prefer a bible in my hand, some of our members use ipads. The benefit is that they can cross reference scripture quickly. As long as the person is not distracted, and is comfortable using the technology, it aids him/her to use time more efficiently in learning God's word. |

Acidosis: 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. I wont be offended, after all its my tithe speaking another language |

for those who feel offended at pastors preaching from ipads there are plenty hardcover paper bible using churches. choose one for those who dont mind kindly go to the ipad church BUT THE WORD OF GOD IS NOT THE PAPER IT IS THE WORDS WRITTEN. THE IPAD AND PAPER BIBLE DO THEY HAVE THE SAME THING WRITTEN INSIDE? THE SAME CONTENT? THEN THEY BOTH HAVE THE WORD OF GOD |

@OP. So because you born and brought up seeing people using only printed bible nothing should change? The word of God is beyond the prints. Any surface can carry the words and that includes laptops and ipads. if schools can move from using hardcopy notes to soft copy and you see nothing wrong with that what makes you think God is retrogressive. The bible remains the bible no matter the surface its on. I know what your problem is. You are simply jealous that you cannot afford an ipad while your pastor uses one. grow up or work hard and buy one |

@Acidiosis C'mon man you know the drill those who will be distracted will be distracted whether they have paper bibles or the electronic version. Besides Pastors preaching on the pulpit barely have time to keep looking at the electronic devices as they preach so how will they be distracted? On a practical note, I love my electronic bible and bible aids. Nothing like having the info you need at the tip of your fingers. I can search, translate, annotate, mark and look up word meanings without carrying heavy or multiple paper bibles or bible aids. And at night I don't have to switch on the light to read. |

Re: Would You Be Offended If Your Pastor Preached From Their Ipad? by debonair99: 6:46pm On Sep 13, 2012 |
Why would I? Using hitech gadgets to propagate the world of God is not bad. Infact A̶̲̥̅♏ very used to reading my Bible via my smartphone.But that does not make ♏ε̲ not use my real bible anymore.Hitech just make bible apps to be fun and easy to use. |

I wonder if jesus had chosen our generation to come and sacrifice himself for mankind(though some call it ''assisted suicide'' .Will he use 'ipad' when preaching to the people on the mountain, will he ride a hummer instead of donkey, will he board a yatch instead of a canoe,will he use the internet instead of trekking around. I guess jesus would have loved to come in our technology driven generation instead of an ignorant one. He must be missing out on all these stuffs,guess they don't need it in heaven. |

Acidosis: Personally, I'll be offended..don't like the idea of Pastors preaching after downloading series of ebooks, and bible pages from the net.In my previous life I remember when we said that the scripture should remain in scroll , it was the devil's ploy to put the bible in printed pages for everybody to read . Acidosis U sound familiar , have u been to Macedonia before? |

Prime example, When God gave Moses the 10 commandments that's in modern day Bible (OT), wasn't it inscribed on a rock? Does that mean those who transferred the wordings into the scroll, and as time has passed, it's on an iPad, that makes it offensive? |
Re: Would You Be Offended If Your Pastor Preached From Their Ipad? by Akolawole(m): 7:35pm On Sep 13, 2012 |
A foolish Pastor will be downloading from the net to preach. IPAD is very essential. A Pastor can easily use it to do cross-referencing between diffrent versions of the bible. |
Re: Would You Be Offended If Your Pastor Preached From Their Ipad? by luluosas(m): 7:40pm On Sep 13, 2012 |
Why should I be offended? As long as they are using it to the glory of God. Meanwhile, the topic is misleading as if it is only Ipad that is the technological gadget today. |

@ OP, stop being ignorant. Simply take ur iPad for d next service if u own one. |

We need to move with the time and technology. That somebody preaching with the latest technology is not a crime. Preaching that impact life are spiritual soaked and not a matter hitech or not. What of the scriptures being placed on large screen. |

Maria-G: Really? Why didnt you stick to the old ways of posting letters through post offices? Why send sms now? Miss double standard. The pastors should stick to books while you ping with BB. Anu |

hillsate: @OP. So because you born and brought up seeing people using only printed bible nothing should change? Mister man, take it easy on yourself, I never said its wrong to use ipads, laptops and the likes.. but using them on the pulpit is what I don't like.. Did you see the comments some ladies made on the thread.. telling us how "sexy "it is to use an ipad on stage.. Be sincere with yourself, only a dumb M O D (Man of Devil) would find it difficult to flip through bible pages.. The same gadget that contains, pictures, facebook friends picture (including the porn stars), twitter followers, etc is what they are using to preach just because they want to look sexy, and trendy.. |

Holacunlay: See poverty for Nija oooo. GOD help us o. I don't get it? Do you want to ridicule yourself? Are you saying poverty is the reason why some pastors don't use ipads.. or poverty is the reason why I dislike pastors using it ON PULPIT ? #you have a very poor mentality bro.. |
