Everyone's bible is different. I use two.... one is gray with silver letters on it, and the other is black with gold writing on it. My wife's has a pretty picture on it, but she like's it. I tried to fine a black one or a blue one with silver writing on it, but I haven't found one yet... I think eventually, all paper bound writing will be replaced with digital, and we won't have to waste trees, one of God's natural resources. Those are the two I take to church. When I actually study I use Biblesoft's PC Study Bible program, and when I'm just in the mood to read I use Alexander Scorby's reading of the KJV and listen to the Bible on mp3 files. I find that I pick up a lot of things listening that doesn't cross my mind when reading. One uses a different part of our brains to finter through sound than we do sight. I tend to be an auditory learner because of eye sight problems when I was very young. But I do really like my Grey one with the silver writing. Has a leather cover and those really thin but tuff pages. It's really impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sparked a convo earlier. Im curious how board members feel. I think its fine as long as you are not reading another book,.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 You can bet it uses oil. yeah, really old dead trees and dinasours. Yep, that's what the scientists say. But that could not be true if one holds to the literal 6 day creation. But that's another topic, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would of course mean that the bells and whistles be turned off so that the service isn't disrupted. Bible Study is wonderful on many electronic devices and allows those with vision problems to see the Scriptures. Many also keep their personal notes on a laptop (etc.) instead of writing them in their Bibles. ALL is assuming that nothing is misused or in any way disrupts the services. Those I know who use electronic devices do so in a responsible manner. Otherwise, they would fit into the same category as anyone disrupting a service. They would be asked to either stop or leave.

I'm looking for something better than my Study Bible, Concordance and my computer resources for when I travel. Those suckers take up massive space/weight!

If I had the resources to spend, I'd get an Ipad and use biblesoft's PC study bible 5.0 with as many add on's as I could afford. but there's that big "IF" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I deliver messages now -- I use my Ipad LOL Sometimes I change in mid message as the Lord directs and pull out other info from other messages in the middle of a message! This past year, I gave probably 50 different messages! I can't be a cookie cutter! God bless, George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
