Silly, but well intentioned question

[misery]

I apologise in advance for asking this.
Do you think it's OK to read the Bible (or listen to it on an mp3 player or something) while on the toilet?

I honestly don't see why it would be disrespectful. Just make sure there isn't anything on your hands while you do so. Wiping poo on the Bible would be disrespectful.

I think it is ok.

Umm, sure, I guess. As long as your intention isn't to offend or show disrespect, then why would it be?

If you're able to read the whole OT while sitting there then I think you have more of a problem than reading it there...

Actually this is a question only you can answer. In unclear matters such as this, it all comes down to the heart. Everything we do should be to the glory of God. Personally I don't do that as it seems to be disrespectful to God's word. But that is not to say it's sin for everyone. Paul made it clear that things that are sinful to some, are not sinful to others. If you can do it with a clear conscience, then it is not sin (unless it's clearly prohibited in scripture). I strongly suggest reading Romans 14 for insight on this. I think it will answer your question.

Having said all that, I might suggest that the mere fact you brought it up here could indicate you do not have a clear conscience about it. (I could be wrong.) If that is the case, do not do it. But if your conscience is clear and you can do it feeling confident that it is right, there is nothing in the Bible against it. Hope that helps.

Rom. 14:5.....Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind.

This is a very good response.

On a lighter note, if you do think it is okay, be careful not to drop it in.

Ask any mother of toddlers if it's OK to read the Bible on the toilet.

Actually, I began reading the Bible on the toilet. That said, I wouldn't do it now since I've graduated to my living room with my coffee!

"And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him." - Colossians 3:17

Why not? I do it all the time. I get some of the best inspirations while sitting on the can. The goal of reading the bible is to get engraved into your heart.

"And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up." - Deut 6:7

I suppose we can include when we are sitting down anywhere in our house.
