osifred: ¶ am yet to see how correctly sumbody who is obviously wrong a sign of maturity. @ Op ¶ did like to knw †ђξ line U̶̲̥̅̊ used in apologing. Like M̶̲̥̅Ƹ guess. 'Sori for usin ma fone to read †ђξ world of God' I am having little and little patience for "pulpit speakers" these days who only get up there to sell their backward, ill-informed opinions rather than what God has told them to go and say...if they receive from God to begin with. Does he know how, through the internet, many have come to know Christ? There are even YouTube ministries that reach out to the world and get the job done more than he can even begin to comprehend! It is not wisdom for someone to bad-mouth what they do not understand. Even TB-Joshua that people seem to enjoy hating on, I know nothing about him nor take no fault with him. It's not like people have not lied about people before in order to bring their ministry down or something. Nigerians just need to actually open their bibles and read it instead of "doing what everybody is doing" or just "obeying the pulpit-speaker". Your christian walk is personal and dare I say, has VERY LITTLE to do with your pastor. |

For me I think the sister in question is just making issues out of nothing. Books exist in different format--it could either be electronic or in print. Maybe she has aversion for technology especially on issues that borders on her faith--the same ground on which the 'Bokos' base their ideology. Na small small e dey start!! Blowing things out of proportion, and then indoctrination. |

Probably because it's a china phone. You try and read from an ipad, an usher would give you a holy hug! |

Dual Core: 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.. "Be careful, however, that the exercise of your freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak." (1 Corinthians 8:9). . "So this weak brother, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge." (1 Corinthians 8:11). What more could be say |

@OP, that your Christian sister is backward, probably the whole church. I downloaded Alktabku yesterday and so loving it, with it, I have three versions of the bible in one software. Whoever can't tolerate it, will meet with stiff resistance from me. |

You no get liver to challenge her? Nothing wrong with it. If you were reading from an Ipad se she go talk? Snobby, possessive overzealous church worker thinking she knows or understands the word of God more than you. Next time you are in bible study you better bring it up. |

As a developin country like nigeria is wrong, expecially coming up in th e alter to read from ur phone. It would ve been better If u were in ur sit following de bible reading from ur phone. and again u might forget dat u were in church after followin de bible from ur phone maybe logging in to ur facebook, 2go, Nairaland or any other site. Dats why some churches dont like it. Cus the worshipers in the process of reading bible from their phone will start browsing and definitely their mind will not be in the church again. |

Cus the worshipers in the process of reading bible from their phone will start browsing and definitely their mind will not be in the church again.your argument stand logic on its head do you say if you carry paper base bible , you are not likely to be distracted by something else, to me is a a matter of being discipline in the church and the congregation being forward thinking. time will come that bible will not be printed on tree base medium because of environmental implication. by then every mean of communication will be software base. just research on innovation going on arround us. as per me ooo I record message with my phone recorder, jot down with notes in the phone, read and highly the read bible passages on my same phone and when i want to review the message, i have all the media; audio, text and sometimes video all in one place. messages cant be enjoyed better my experience a brother once accuse me that i most often handle my phone while messages are going on,i asked him to state the particular day which he did. i open my phone, ask him to listen to that day message from my phone, showed him the highlighted passages read and the notes i took from that message. i was just a word short of asking him to produce his own copies of the jotting which i i if he does have it will be one one sheet of paper or one small jotter left in the middle of his bible |

2buff: I'm waiting for the day someone will come and harrass me for reading bible from my phone or pad. Makes me wonder what you would do if an usher walked up to you in church and asked you to put away your device during sermon. Would you create a scene? Slap the usher? Walk out of service perhaps? You too funny jare!!! My own is that if the church you attend does not accept it, respect constituted authority like you most likely do in your place of work, or move to the church were they accept technology. |

Reptyle: I will keep it away, but that is the last that congregation will smell of me again. There's no point remaining with a congregation you are not compatible with. That defeats the whole purpose of "fellowship". |
Re: I Was Embarassed 4 Reading Bible From My Phone,whats Wrong With That? by Image123(m): 4:47pm On Apr 11, 2012 |
Reptyle:It's that simple. People'd do all sort of stuff for money. Get real dirty and messy, wear a tie and tuck in for hours unending, close very late, resume very early, obey traffic, police, vio, abase themselves at airports and embassies. But simple instruction na wahala for church. If your Bible study teacher says don't use a phone in my class, then don't. |

@ OP, i think the problem is that in most of our churches we are always told to switch off our phones when in church to avoid phone calls which serve as distractions. I think she reacted that way because she felt you were disobeying, I am sure if you used an i-touch or iPad she wont have said anything. |

2buff: 2buff How does it look like when you just display you laptop on the Pulpit? Do you think that preachers like ADEBOYE, GBILE AKANNI, KUMUYI, STEVE AKINOLA do not have one. Sure they have but they tend to avoid anything that would distract. Whose example would you follow? |

tunde233: No-one's example. Stop focusing on what men are doing/wearing/carrying. Why dwell on the non-essential? All you people with this backward mindset, so if you are in a tough situation and God sends one of His servants to you to help you and he is wearing jeans and he brings out his phone to read the scripture he received for your comfort, you are telling me that you will instantly discount him because he does not look like this.... My people are just too materialistic for my liking. Unable to perceive past the glitter and slaves to what they see and what they have accepted as reliable stereotypes. Pardon my seeming outburst, but you just seem like you need to have a better understanding of the faith you are in. Always look out for the inner-meaning, the inner-purpose, the working of the Spirit of God regardless of medium... not the outer or apparent, otherwise that is the beginning of being an easily deceived elect in these end-times. You might think I am babbling in that last paragraph, but what I am saying there ties in more than you know. |

For most pastors do not care about the means by which to read the Bible ... What really matters is the means by which collects the tithe. That's what allows you to have your phone, your computer, your new car ... |

If Pastors buy private Jets for themselves, you will hear "its for propagation of the Gospel" but if a member uses an I-Phone to read his Bible, you will hear "He is trying to show-off or embarrass the church"! When are we going to stop idolizing Pastors? Dem be human beings like us, dem no be spirit o! Should one carry all those "Versions of the Bible" (about six!) to church rather than carry a nifty gadget that has all the versions in it? Haaba, wetin sef? The Pastor of my own church first saw the I-Pad with another brother-member during his "talk" one week day and he admired it for the convenience and the ease it delivered during the talk and he expressed interest in buying one for himself. Well, by next Sunday, even those that dont own one, bought one for him! Fair enough, its their money. Now, would such MOG be in a position to condemn others for using something that he knew was beneficial to the Gospel? I dont think so. @Op, l think you should have "schooled" that over-bearing and over-righteous "Church leader" that chastised you. If l were in your shoes, l would have asked him/her to show me and tell me, "How reading the Bible from my phone has damaged the Gospel". May be she/he does not have one and is intimidated that "an ORDINARY FLOOR MEMBER" is championing such advancement! What is her business sef? or did the message differ from that one on Paper-Bible? Mtschew, ewuuu nonsense! Lastpage! BTW: I intend to "propose it in church" that our Pastor deliver "his message" to us in our various homes, via Video Streaming over broadband! Why should everyone waste "resources" (time, energy, fuel, road risk,e.t.c) to get "something" (preaching) they can equally get "easier, cheaper, better and we can even record it so we can "replay" it all night and day! Okay, "contributions like Tithe and Offering" can be tricky in that case! But hey, we an also do "online Tithe/offerings" from our various bank account! Nothing to worry about Pastor, the monneey go complete! Imagine how it will be if everyone that watched football had to go to the stadium for every match, instead of watching it on TV? O'dikwa risky, dis my proposition! |
