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. 4 Likes |

fubbyy: @image123 what about the pastors preaching with their laptops?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? 1 Like |

@Image123: How do you reconcile these two posts: Image123: Yeske, OP you deserve to be embarrassed and even slapped by Oyedepo. You're insensitive to the people around you. Image123: 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. 2 Likes |

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. 8 Likes |

Joagbaje: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. |

There is Nafin wrong n wht u did. U were flowing with d technology but what if in the process of reading from ur phone,u get a call or text message? It will sure embarrass u.A laptop is okay. |

Henry-Josephs: 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 |

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. |
