39:1 2. FORŢA TENDINŢELOR MOŞTENITE 39:2 Poftele nesăţioase sunt transmise. - Ambii părinţi transmit copiilor lor propriile caracteristici intelectuale şi fizice şi înclinaţiile şi poftele lor. Drept rezultat al necumpătării părinţilor, adeseori copiii duc lipsă de putere fizică şi morală. Băutorii de alcool şi cei care folosesc 39:3 tutun pot transmite-şi chiar fac acest lucru - pofta nepotolită, sângele lor infectat şi nervii lor irascibili, copiilor lor. Cei cu obiceiuri rele lasă adeseori moştenire dorinţele lor nesfinte şi chiar boli urâte urmaşilor lor. Şi, cum copiii au mai puţină putere de a rezista ispitei decât părinţii, tendinţa fiecărei generaţii următoare este de a cădea mai jos şi mai jos. - Patriarchs and Prophets, pag. 561. 39:4 Generaţiei a treia şi a patra. - Strămoşii noştri ne-au transmis ca zestre obiceiuri şi pofte care umplu lumea de boli. Păcatele părinţilor, datorate apetitului pervertit, sunt transmise cu o forţă înspăimântătoare copiilor din a treia şi a patra generaţie. Alimentaţia rea a mai multor generaţii, obiceiurile lacome şi de îngăduinţă de sine ale lumii, umplu casele pentru săraci, închisorile şi azilurile de nebuni. Necumpătarea reprezentată de folosirea ceaiului, cafelei, vinului, berii, romului şi coniacului şi de folosirea de tutun, opium şi alte narcotice a dus la o substanţială degenerare intelectuală şi fizică, o degenerare aflată în continuă creştere. - Review and Herald, 29 iulie 1884. 39:5 Moştenire pentru generaţiile ce urmează. - Pretutindeni, unde obiceiurile părinţilor sunt potrivnice legii sănătăţii fizice, răul pe care şi-l fac oamenii va fi preluat de generaţiile următoare. - Manuscris 3, 1897. 39:6 Rasa umană geme sub povara nenorocirii acumulate din cauza păcatelor generaţiilor precedente. Şi totuşi, fără să le pese prea mult, bărbaţii şi femeile generaţiei prezente îşi permit necumpătarea, prin excese şi prin beţie, lăsând astfel ca zestre pentru generaţia următoare boală, inteligenţă redusă şi moravuri întinate. - Testimonies, vol. 4, pag. 31. 39:7 Combaterea tendinţelor moştenite - Se poate ca părinţii să fi transmis copiilor lor tendinţe spre poftă şi pasiune, care vor face mai dificilă lucrarea de educare şi pregătire a acestor copii pentru a fi strict temperaţi şi pentru a avea obiceiuri curate şi virtuoase. Dacă 39:8 pofta pentru alimente nesănătoase şi pentru stimulente şi narcotice le-a fost transmisă copiilor ca zestre de la părinţi, ce înfricoşătoare şi solemnă răspundere au aceştia de a combate înclinaţiile rele pe care le-au lăsat copiilor lor! Cât de serios şi atent trebuie să lucreze aceşti părinţi pentru a-şi face datoria, cu credinţă şi nădejde, faţă de nefericiţii lor urmaşi! - Testimonies, vol.3, pag. 567. 568. 39:9 Pentru a ţine piept torentului răului. - Mulţi suferă datorită neascultării părinţilor lor. Ei nu sunt responsabili pentru ceea ce au făcut părinţii lor, dar datoria lor este să se asigure de ce este şi ce nu este violare a legilor sănătăţii. Ei trebuie să evite obiceiurile rele ale părinţilor lor şi, printr-o vieţuire corectă, să-şi procure o condiţie mai bună. - The Ministry of Healing, pag. 234. 39:10 O mai mare putere morală necesară acum. - Nevoia oamenilor acestei generaţii de a apela la ajutorul puterii voinţei, învigorate prin harul lui Dumnezeu, pentru a înfrunta ispitirea lui Satana şi a rezista celei mai mici cedări faţă de un apetit stricat, este mult mai mare decât era acum câteva generaţii. Dar generaţia prezentă are mai puţină putere de autocontrol decât cele de până acum. Aceia care şi-au îngăduit stimulente au transmis pasiunile şi poftele lor pervertite copiilor lor, iar acum este nevoie de o mai mare putere morală pentru a rezista necumpătării de orice fel. Singura cale perfect sigură este aceea de a fi ferm, respectând o strictă cumpătare în toate lucrurile şi de a nu ne aventura pe drumul periculos. - Christian Temperance and Bible Hygiene, pag. 37. |

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).
