Re: [Goanet] Cell Phone vs. Bible

Unlike our cell phones, we don't ever have to worry about our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill! * *answers to all these.. As too much use of mobile can cause brain cancer so also too much of religion may result in brain wash Ever heard of religious fanatics/brain washed terrorists ? e.g. Some British Muslims as young as 21 went to Afghanistan only to fight against British.

Re: [Goanet] Cell Phone vs. Bible
Could the Bible encourage some form of two-way communication? Can it's message be a bit more contemporary? If so, it could possibly get a greater mindshare (and not have to depend purely on subsidised publication that ends up among the most-widely-circulated-but-unread books). No offense meant, but I think the comparison is not particularly apt. On another plane, the cell phone is suspected to cause brain cancer (no conclusive view on this yet... but I've just reached to take mine out from my pocket and place it on a nearby bookpile). For it's part, the Bible could play a positive role, provided it didn't make us feel so self-righteous, or convince us that we are somehow superior to those who have another set of beliefs.

[Goanet] Cell Phone vs. Bible
Cell Phone vs. Bible I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phones? What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets? What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it? What if we flipped through it several times a day? What if we used it to receive messages? What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it? What if we gave it to kids as gifts? What if we used it as we traveled? What if we used it in case of an emergency? What if we upgraded it to get the latest version? This is something to make you go...hmmm...where is my Bible? Oh, and one more thing. Unlike our cell phones, we don't ever have to worry about our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill! Have a blessed day! __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
