Isn't that what Jesus was all about, to establish a New Covenant with God to replace the Old? Didn't he throw out the money changers and the other businesses that had grown up around the church?
Then Peter's church grew into a bureaucracy of its own and re-enterjected itself between God and man. The Catholic Church is now afraid technology may make is less relevant.
Jesus also condemned those who made a big deal out of praying in an effort to show their "Godliness" to others, admonishing instead that we should go into a closet, away from the sight and sound of others, to pray.
This App actually enhances the scripture.
“This App actually enhances the scripture.”
A book could be described as a machine, and then things get quite interesting, don’t they?
I have no experience with the App, so I can’t comment about its’ possible ‘enhancements.’ The App is a tool of man, an extension of the maker. It cannot err on its’ own, it can only replicate error (if any) instilled by the maker. If you feel it enhances your relationship with God, you are certainly free to use it, regardless the exhortations of men.
As to the earlier part of your comment, Jesus did well with a donkey on loan and little else. But then we are talking about God, aren’t we?
Blessings.
