Don’t read bible from phones, iPads in church – Apostle Suleman
In a video tweet that has gone viral on twitter, Apostle Suleiman clearly stated that reading the bible from phones and ipads when in church does not show reverence to God.
He admonished his members not to read from digital devices while quoting a verse of scripture that says “search the scriptures”.
Apostle Johnson Suleman is the founder and pastor of Omega Fire Ministry (OFM).
According to Suleman, the scripture is meant to be searched and not punched.
Read his statement below:
Do not bring your Iphone, IPad, any device to church to read your Bible from it….You can do that in your office, you can do that anywhere, but to read your Bible from your phone when you are in church, it doesn’t show reference to God…..John 5 : 39 says search the scripture, it didn’t say punch the scripture….

The reason he doesn’t want you to bring your device to church is Bcos he doesn’t want you to Fact-check his BS in Real-time. It’s all about control. pic.twitter.com/4q2mraFYUr

The bible didn't tell him to use a microphone too, I don't know why Pastor is disobeying God. I mean Jesus preached to 5000 without one, Since we are using your BS logic. pic.twitter.com/jNnKkUQ00k

Read some reactions to his tweets:
Pastors like this are keeping their congregation in a psychological prison. He did not mention the mic ?in his hand or the Rolls Royce he uses as hindrance to God’s ministries. How do educated ppl still sit and listen to this crap every Sunday?

I will take his side here. Phones are a distraction at the sevice. Things like messages, calls, newsflash always pop up and it is very very tempting to open them. You can fact check when the service is done

And a college graduate after hearing this nonsense will still go to this Church the next Sunday?

It's more annoying when they get angry for being described aptly as dumb

I actually don't see a difference between using your bible app on your phone and opening the paper bible, I feel it's actually the words that matter. Moreover, many churches use projectors nowadays.
So what's the big deal?
