|
13:13 Acum dar raman aceste trei: credinta, nadejdea si dragostea; dar cea mai mare dintre ele este dragostea. Ramane. Cuvantul acesta transmite ideea de permanenta. Cu exceptia iubirii, toate cele care au fost tratate in acest capitol, inclusiv profetia, limbile si alte daruri ale Duhului, vor inceta de a fi de pret sau vor fi anulate, dar cele trei elemente fundamentale ale experientei crestine nu vor trece; ele sunt permanente. De aceea, crestinul e indemnat sa-si concentreze atentia la acestea. Credinta, aici nu darul spiritual al credintei (vezi cap. 12:9), ci experienta descrisa in Evr 11 (cf. cele de la Rom 4:3), trebuie sa fie de valoare vesnica, deoarece va fi pururea un element esential al vietii armonioase pe noul pamant. Nadejdea, fiind o dorinta dupa un obiect sau o asteptare de a-l obtine, prin insasi natura ei va fi o parte a trairii in cer, unde pururea vor fi noi campuri de explorat pentru poporul lui Dumnezeu si noi delectari de gustat (vezi 1Cor 2:9; Ed 306, 307). Toate comorile cerului nu pot fi gustate deodata de cei rascumparati, si atata vreme cat e ceva care urmeaza sa fie dorit si asteptat in viitor, va exista nadejdea. Cea mai mare. Cand se ajunge a se intelege ca din insusirile caracterului, iubirea este aceea pe care inspiratia o foloseste pentru a descrie insasi natura lui Dumnezeu, e usor de a vedea de ce spune apostolul ca mai pre sus de toate darurile Duhului, acesta este cel mai mare (vezi 1Ioan 4:7, 8, 16). Ca o maniera de viata, iubirea este eficienta, mai biruitoare, mai satisfacatoare decat posedarea si exercitarea diferitelor daruri ale Duhului enumerate in cap. 12 (vezi 1Cor 12:31). Iubirea de Dumnezeu si de semenii nostri este cea mai inalta expresie a armoniei cu Dumnezeu (vezi Mat 22:37–40; 8T 139). Iubirea traita in viata credinciosului e cea mai mare proba a sinceritatii crestinismului cuiva (vezi Isa 58:6–8; Mat 25:34–40; 6T 273–280). A fi crestin inseamna a fi ca Hristos, care ,,umbla din loc in loc facand bine” (Fapte 10:38). Crestinii deci, sunt aceia care, in duhul lui Isus, umbla din loc in loc facand bine tuturor celor care au nevoie de ajutorul lor. Ei il fac fara vreun interes personal, ci pentru ca iubirea lui Dumnezeu din inimile lor face cu neputinta ca ei sa faca altfel (vezi 6T 268; 3T 524). Iubirea este calea excelenta, deoarece exprimarea ei practica este proba care urmeaza sa decida soarta vesnica a tuturor oamenilor. Aceia a caror religie este una de simpla conformare externa la forme si datini, vor descoperi ca una ca aceasta nu e placuta lui Dumnezeu (vezi 5T 612). Iubire care se leapada de sine, care produce unire intre credinciosi, va convinge lumea ca Dumnezeu a trimis pe fiul Sau in lume sa mantuiasca omenirea. Aceasta este metoda aleasa de Dumnezeu pentru poporul Sau ca sa dea marturie despre adevarul Evangheliei (vezi Ioan 17:21, 23). O astfel de iubire, care nu arata nici o dorinta de a inalta, indreptati sau multumi eul, ci e dedicata lucrarii neegoiste pentru cei nevoiasi, este un argument pe care oamenii neconvertiti nu-l pot contrazice. Ei vad in ea ceva de neinteles pentru filozofia lor de viata. Inima lor e miscata, si inteligenta lor raspunde la dovada puterii temerii de Dumnezeu in viata oamenilor pocaiti. In felul acesta se demonstreaza ca iubirea este calea cea mai de seama a predicarii Evangheliei si a promovarii imparatiei lui Dumnezeu. COMENTARIILE ELLEN G.

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).
