Printable Mode1 Ioan 1:10
|
1:10 Dacă zicem că n-am păcătuit, Îl facem mincinos, şi Cuvântul Lui nu este în noi. N-am păcătuit. Aceasta este a treia şi cea mai specifică pretenţie falsă la sfinţenie (vezi v. 6, 8). Versetul 6 vorbeşte despre pretenţia falsă a unora de a avea părtăşie cu Dumnezeu, deşi umblă în întuneric. Aceasta este o pretenţie uşoară, dar adesea greu de combătut. Versetul 8 vorbeşte de pretenţia de a nu avea nici un păcat, care e la fel de greu de dovedit sau de combătut. Aici însă Ioan dă de înţeles că unii pretind că nu au săvârşit nici un păcat. Dar o astfel de pretenţie este neadevărată, deoarece toţi au păcătuit (Romani 3,23). Întrucât epistola aceasta se adresează creştinilor care probabil şi-au dat seama de păcatele lor, este evident că Ioan se referă la comportamentul de după convertire. Îl facem mincinos. Consecinţa pretenţiei de a nu fi păcătuit niciodată este scoasă în evidenţă după tiparul din v. 6, 8, unde rezultatele sunt exprimat atât pozitiv cât şi negativ, dar aici sunt folosite cuvinte mult mai dure. Pretenţia nefondată de a avea părtăşie cu Dumnezeu ne face mincinoşi (v. 6), pretenţia că nu avem păcat ne duce în rătăcire (v. 8), dar pretenţia de a nu fi păcătuit niciodată Îl face pe Dumnezeu mincinos. Nu înseamnă că această pretenţie poate să afecteze perfecţiunea divină, ci că dacă ea ar fi adevărată, ar contrazice declaraţiile clare ale Cuvântului lui Dumnezeu. Cuvântul Lui. Nu este vorba de Hristos, Cuvântul viu, ci de cuvântul lui Dumnezeu, scris sau oral, ca mijloc prin care este transmis adevărul Său (v. 8). Acest cuvânt este adevărul (Ioan 17,17) şi nu poate locui în aceia care contrazic afirmaţiile lui atât de clare. Dacă oamenii nu acceptă mărturia lui Dumnezeu, dacă tăgăduiesc starea lor, aşa cum o descrie El, atunci ei pun piedici Cuvântului Său şi acesta nu mai poate să locuiască în inima lor. Cuvântul inspirat este mijlocul prin care Dumnezeu îi descoperă omului adevărata lui stare şi îl fereşte de la a se considera fără păcat. De aceea, fiecare creştin ar trebui să cerceteze cu sârguinţă Cuvântul. Adevărurile Bibliei ar trebui să fie memorate, şi în felul acesta mintea ar fi fortificată prin Cuvântul dătător de viaţă. Făgăduinţele lui preţioase vor oferi sprijin în vremurile de încercare şi de necaz, iar învăţătura lui cu privire la neprihănire ne va conduce la Mântuitorul şi ne va pregăti să primim caracterul Său sfânt (2 Timotei 3,16.17). Având în inimile noastre Cuvântul lui Dumnezeu, nu vom mai păcătui de bunăvoie împotriva Lui (Psalmi 119,11), şi, cu toate acestea, nu vom putea pretinde că suntem sfinţi (compară cu GC 618, 619).

Special note for ANDROID SmartPhones
I recommend to download PhoneMe emulator for Android from here.
Especially I recommend phoneME Advanced - Foundation Profile + MIDP High Resolution b168 rev20547 from here, or from here.
Then you have to build your application, to transfer the .jar and .jad files on your mobile phone and run using this nice emulator.
1. Install a Zip Utility from Android Market.
2. Install a File Manager from Android Market.
3. Download and install PhoneMe, as mentioned above.
4. Build your application by using Download Multilingual Service or Dynamic Download (zip).
5. Copy the zip file into your Android Phone and unzip the content in a folder, and then write down the path to the unzipped files and the name of the .jad file.
6. Launch PhoneMe from your smartphone.
7. Inside PhoneMe, write to the main window the path and the name to the .jad file, above mentioned. Will look something like: file:///mnt/sd/download/BiblePhone.jad and then press enter.
8. The application will be installed, and next a hyperlink will be available below the above mentioned textbox. On this way you can install as many of MIDP application you like on your Android Phone.
How to install the application in Java Mobile enabled phones
It is possible now to have the Holy Scriptures on your mobile phone and to read
it wherever you are due to the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP)
technology in 1.0 and 2.0 versions, developed for Java applications.
A good advice is to try in the beginning the MIDP 1.0 / 128 Kbytes version, and
progressively to advance to MIDP 2.0 and larger volumes (512 Kbytes or more).
The application is available for MIDP 2.0, MIDP 1.0. You have only to select one
table on the field MIDP2.0 or MIDP1.0, according to the desired Bible version.
Then, you shall make a click on the JAR (Java Archive) file in order to obtain
the software to be installed on your mobile phone.
I recommend you to start with STARTER(MIDP1.0old) edition, then to continue with
INTERMEDIATE(MIDP1.0), and in the end, if the mobile phone supports this thing,
to try to install the ADVANCED (MIDP2.0) edition. Also, start with 128 kbytes
volumes, continue with 512 kbytes, and at the end try the version in one file.
There are cases where the mobile phone requires so called JAD (Java Descriptor)
files. These JAD files has to be
uploaded, on this case, together with the desired JAR files(s).
There are different methods to download the applications in your mobile phone as
follows:
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
5. If none from the above cases are valid
Next, we shall examine each case in order to have a successfully installation of
the software.
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
If your have Internet access on your mobile phone (e.g. WAP or GPRS), it is
enough to access
https://biblephone.intercer.net/wap/ from the browser of the mobile phone,
and to access the desired Bible version, and then to make an option about
MIDP1.0 or MIDP2.0, and finally to select the desired module (e.g. one or more).
After the last selection, the desired version will be downloaded on your mobile
phone.
Many phones have only this option for installing JAVA appplications.
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
If you don't have access to Internet directly from your mobile phone, then you
shall have to pass to this step requiring to have infrared ports on your mobile
phone and on the computer.
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to activate the infrared port on the mobile phone and align it with the infrared
port of the computer (preferable laptop).
c. Then a window will appear asking what file you want to send to the mobile
phone. Next, you will select the downloaded JAR file, and after OK, the mobile
phone will ask you if you want to load that file. You say YES and the
application will be downloaded on your mobile phone.
d. Probably, you will be asked by the mobile phone where you want to save it (e.g.
on the games or applications directories). After you made this selection, the
file will be ready to be loaded for run.
The displaying preference can be set inside the application in order to have
larger fonts, full screen display etc.
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
This situation is similar with the infrared case. You have only to activate
Bluetooth access on your mobile phone (check if exists) and on the computer (check
if exists).
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific
mobile phones.
On this case the steps are as follows:
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to set up the wired connection between the mobile phone and the computer. Next,
you will start the synchronization / data transfer application and download the
JAR file in your mobile phone. Surely, you will have to consult the CD of your
mobile phone.
c. By this application you shall transfer into your mobile phone the JAR file in
the games or applications directories. Next, you will have to select for run the
JAR desired file.
5. If none from the above cases are valid
On this unhappy case, I recommend you to find a friend with a laptop having
infrared / Bluetooth capabilities, or to buy a data link cable, or to change
your current model of mobile phone.
Unfortunately, some models of mobile phones require only WAP/GPRS in order to
download and run Java applications.
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones. Therefore check the documentation of them and also the page for specific
models.
Why so many versions? Simple, because not all the mobile phones support the
Bible in one file with MIDP 2.0 (the most advanced for the time being).
