Is it even morally right for you allow someone read the bible to you? You can't read yourself or what?? You all depend on the pastor to read to you and he reads and interpretes what suits him to you...you make them demi-gods and they inturn take advantage of your gullibility to their own satisfaction.. |

Sunnycliff: Therevis nothing wring with it. There are a couple of off line e-bible in use. It is a matter of putting off the network and put the well off line bible on. |

There is nothing wrong in it my brother... It is only wrong when he forsake the original physical Bible. Let me remind you, Bible was formerly in scrolls before they were transcribed into book cover and were written in inks or carved on rocks. Will u say it was bad that the Bible was transcribed? No . But the scrolls still exist. If you have the scriptures on your phone as an e- version,i don't think anything is bad with that but as Christians,we should still carry our physical Bible aways while phone stands for quick reference. |

As long as it is the undiluted word of God, no problem. Those that have a problem with it can go and look for the original scrolls which contain the "original" word of God was written and take them to their own church. Who told y'all that God prefers hard copy to an E -copy. |

OP dont forget the word "Bible" is English not hebrew. The Bible is a compiled writtings of great men of God into a book. Like many has said with passing time and age people invented ways to make life more easier. The 10 commandments of God was writen in Stones, as time went on Scrolls were invented then books and now Mobile Electronic devices( Laptop, Phones and Ipads). Its the word of God you carry in you that is what lives with you not the book. |

.... I think it is wrong, very wrong. He is supposed to be using a scroll like in the time of our Lord Jesus or better still a stone tab as designed by the Almighty God for Moses, even these small bibles is not right just like the phones too. I also hope you guys do not use air conditioners in your church because that is an abomination, the church needs to be hot like in the days of Jesus so that you can feel the move of the spirit in greater measure. Thank you. 1 Like 1 Share |

Why are Africans so backward with their thinking, the first bible was never in papper form but written on stones, thanks to technology which latter gave b irth to printing and now we are in the digital age, its is the word of God in your spirit that works not the printed words. |

If phone/tablet is wrong, the hand copy bible is wrong, too. We should all be using scroll instead of the bible we're using now. From the kind of bible he uses now, soon, you will graduate to the trouser/tie/shirt he wears. Worship God abeg and don't limit Him. Afterall, He is the one who has given us the wisdom to make these things. |

Re: Is It Morally Right For A Pastor To Use A Phone To Read Out Bible? by smartograpy(m): 2:24pm On Jul 10, 2016 |
Of Course Yes tell me the reason why should he not use it is it is because Jesus did not use it? Jesus while he was on earth used boat to preach so if there were ipad and mic he would definiately use it what am trying to prove is that it is right for a pastor to use ipad to preach |

Op,IS IT WRONG TO HAVE PHONES? In Jesus era,they used scrolls which were much in volume than the bible we have today.so is it morally wrong to use the bible instead of scrolls? NO! it has nothing to do with being moral,same with using phones over papers bible. So pls there is no need spiritualizing everything. |

Hahahahahaha Come to think of it, Moses used Stone Tablet to read God's commandments, so what is wrong with a Pastor using a Samsung Tablet to do same? Tablet na Tablet, any one you use will cure your ignorance of spiritual laws. |

I see nothing wrong in it provided it doesn't permanently "displace" the hard copy. after all, you can read along with your bible. It provides you an opportunity to read from numerous versions. |
Re: Is It Morally Right For A Pastor To Use A Phone To Read Out Bible? by Loski26(m): 2:34pm On Jul 10, 2016 |
He shouldn't read the bible from a phone? Because? But he can preach using a microphone instead of his voice? He can drive cars to church instead of riding an ass? He can don suits instead of wearing loins and garments? He can eat shoprite bread and apples instead of unleavened bread and fig fruits? The thought - process of some Christians beats me silly. 1 Like |

It is not a question of morality. It's about dignity. The question is, is it dignifying. As far as there is no rule, tablet looks more presentable in front of audience rather than phone. @personalopinion |

refiner: The most important is the logos which is the written word and not the object the words are read from. I can't remember the last time I read from the printed booklet. Bible is the written words and you can get any version you want just at a click from your device.. |

Re: Is It Morally Right For A Pastor To Use A Phone To Read Out Bible? by Orokita(m): 2:39pm On Jul 10, 2016 |
Interesting post..... Believe it or not we had a situation in church today where one of the ministers was finding it very difficult to read the bible... It took him longer than 5mins to read wat one wud easily read for 1min. So people were wondering why he cudnt read and I'm sure a few new peeps wud think he was illiterate or sumfink... And then he said "pardon me all I just can't seem to read the bible, permit me to read thru my phone".....with the phone he read thru rather easily. So before you judge or draw conclusions be careful....u don't know wat people are passing thru. And oh he was prayed for and asked to read the Bible again which he did relatively OK. #just saying |
Re: Is It Morally Right For A Pastor To Use A Phone To Read Out Bible? by jimotochukwuobi(m): 2:41pm On Jul 10, 2016 |
I certainly do not see anything wrong with a Pastor, a man of God or anybody whatsoever, using phone or any electronic devices to access the bible. We are in a world of technology which has made most things easier. The bible has different versions such as King James, Good news, English Translation, New King James, New International Version etc. When a Pastor is preaching, he may have cause to use these different versions of the bible for understanding purposes, technology makes it easier for him to access them and save time that would have make him carry maybe about 3 different bibles and start flipping through them. I conclusion, it nothing, even in many foreign churches these days, the pastors now rely on the projectors for bible references. |
Re: Is It Morally Right For A Pastor To Use A Phone To Read Out Bible? by sammykari99(m): 2:42pm On Jul 10, 2016 |
I don't see any wrong using a phone to preach,provided the word isn't compromise.We have all application of Bible version .Even at that the message to be preach are prepare and Bible verse needed are read out,very convenient you need to turn pages of book just scroll down and pass the message. I Hope OP you won't be suprise seeing a Pastor(s) preaching with a projector. |
