Gone were the days when written records were made available on stone
slabs known as "tablets". An early reference was the Ten Commandments
given to Moses. Just sometime after this period scrolls and pens
obtained from the Papyrus reed become writing tools.
Later on, bibles became printed. Currently, bibles are now read from mobile phones, palmbooks and laptops.
With
most exuberant youths and some members of the clergy, the use of these
devices should not be over emphasised, since it provides same biblical
information. They say, these devices especially Mobile phones and
palmbooks are very portable as compared to the hefty bible books.
The
devices also have different bible versions from which the reader can
choose. Intensive bible reading plan is also provided, to make the
biblical studies easier.
Another perception claim that carrying
these devices to church may hide one's religion. Some who do not want to
be spotted with the bible going to church due to some reasons known to
them only do support the use of these devices in the church.
Meanwhile,
others attribute the use of these devices in the church's auditorium to
as a devilish initiation. They believe that it's one of the dirty
tricks of the devil to take away the minds of the pews from the sermon
being delivered.
It is argued that holders of these devices
purposely bring it to church to flout their wealth. One may also be
tempted to toggle from one application to the other browsing social
media like facebook, twitter, whatsapp.etc. Multimedia function would also
compel them to take pictures,videos or even listen to music while
preaching is in session.
There is also a school of thought which
believes that the manufacturers of these devices have connections with
the underworld. Why am I saying this? Manufacturers of these devices
seek assistance from underworld forces in order to make these
multi-functional devices.
Furthermore, some spiritual possessions
are passed on to us when we study from it. These satanic instrument
tends to obstruct us from assimilating the word of God, hence causing
confusion in the mind.
I'm not taking any side in this situation
but wish would have persons who could debate as to whether the use of these
instruments are negative or vice-versa.
