Printable Mode1 Ioan 4:17
|
4:17 Cum este El, asa suntem si noi in lumea aceasta: astfel se face ca dragostea este desavarsita in noi, pentru ca sa avem deplina incredere in ziua judecatii. El. Gr. ekeinos, ,,acel [unul]”. Cand este vorba de o persoana, in epistola de fata pronumele acesta se refera in mod constant la Hristos (cap. 2,6; 3,3.5.7.16) si e clar ca aceasta este intentia apostolului si aici, desi contextul imediat ar sugerea ca este vorba de Dumnezeu Tatal. Fara indoiala ca Ioan se gandeste la Hristos datorita rolului pe care il are Acesta la judecata (vezi comentariul de la Ioan 5,22.27; Romani 2,16). Asa suntem si noi. Ioan a vorbit deja despre asemanarea crestinului cu Mantuitorul (vezi comentariul de la cap. 3,1–3), iar acum o subliniaza din nou, pentru a-i asigura pe cititori, care vor sta in fata judecatii. Aceia care sunt cu adevarat ca Judecatorul lor n-au de ce sa se teama de judecata! Motivul pentru care credinciosul are incredere nu consta in realizarile sale imperfecte, ci in caracterul si sacrificiul ispasitor, ireprosabil al lui Hristos, Mantuitorul sau (vezi comentariul de la Filipeni 3,9; Tit 3,5; etc.). Lumea. Gr. kosmos (vezi comentariul de la cap. 2,15). Desi Ioan a ajuns cu gandul pana la ziua judecatii, el e preocupat, in primul rand, de purtarea crestinului ,,in lumea aceasta”. Tot atat de hotarat ca si oricare alt scriitor al Noului Testament, refuza sa amane asemanarea cu Hristos intr-un viitor nedefinit, si insista asupra posibilitatii ca aceasta sa fie o realitate prezenta (vezi comentariul de la cap. 3,2.9). Aici el declara ca, la fel cum Hristos este vesnic neprihanit in sfera Sa, tot asa trebuie sa fim si noi neprihaniti in sfera noastra. Cuvintele ,,in lumea aceasta” implica natura temporara a sederii noastre de aici, dar sugereaza ca trebuie sa-L reprezentam pe Hristos cat timp traim pe pamant. Notati totusi ca descrierea faptului ca suntem ca Hristos in lume e conditionata de ramanerea noastra in dragoste si in Dumnezeu (v. 16). Dragostea este cea care ne leaga de Domnul si Invatatorul nostru si ne face asemenea Lui (cap. 2,7–10; 3,10–18). Unii au considerat ca aceasta descriere nu poate fi aplicata persoanelor individuale din biserica, deoarece nici unul nu manifesta continuu dragoste altruista. Ei pretind ca descrierea poate fi adevarata numai cu privire la biserica, in totalitatea ei. Dar pana cand nu raman toti crestinii in dragoste, biserica nu poate fi, ca un intreg, asemenea lui Hristos in lume. Hristos ramane in persoane individuale, si tot prin ele Isi zideste Domnul biserica de pe pamant (Efeseni 2,19–22). Astfel. Acest cuvant poate face referire la v. 16 sau la propozitia ,,ca sa avem deplina incredere”. Ambele interpretari sunt posibile, dar stilul acestei epistole o favorizeaza pe a doua. Dragostea … in noi. [,,Dragostea noastra”, KJV]. Literal, ,,Dragostea din noi”. Aceste cuvinte se pot referi la iubirea lui Dumnezeu pentru noi si la iubirea noastra pentru Dumnezeu, despre amandoua putandu-se spune ca au ajuns la desavarsite in noi, adica in viata noastra transformata. Daca adverbul ,,astfel” face referire la v. 16, aceasta interpretare a cuvintelor ,,cu noi” se potriveste bine cu gandul ramanerii in iubire. Daca ,,astfel” face referire la ideea exprimata in continuare, atunci poate ca Ioan vrea sa spuna ca, in cazul nostru, iubirea este facuta desavarsita cand privim cu incredere la ziua judecatii. Este desavarsita. [,,Este facuta desavarsita”, KJV]. Gr. teleioo (vezi comentariul de la cap. 2,5). Pentru ca. Acest cuvant atrage atentia asupra motivului fundamental pentru care crestinul are incredere cand e confruntat cu ideea zilei judecatii. El poate fi increzator pentru ca este ca Hristos. Ca sa avem. [,,Ca sa putem avea”, KJV]. Acest verb indreapta gandul catre unul din maretele obiective asupra caruia iubirea si-a fixat atentia. Iubirea lui Dumnezeu fata de om si iubirea omului fata de Dumnezeu au ca scop comun pregatirea omului in vederea intampinarii cu incredere a zilei judecatii. Intrucat judecata va fi facuta dupa lege (Iacov 2,12) si intrucat iubirea este implinirea Legii (Romani 13,10), desavarsirea iubirii noastre este un proces esential. Incredere. [,,Indrazneala”, KJV]. Gr. parresia (vezi comentariul de la cap. 2,28). Ziua judecatii. Aceasta este singurul loc din Noul Testament unde se intalneste expresia intreaga, avand ambele substantive articulate. Efectul articolelor este de a scoate in evidenta ca este vorba despre o anumita zi sau un anumit timp, dar si ca se are in vedere o mare judecata la care sunt cercetate toate cazurile si se iau hotarari cu privire la ele. Aici Ioan nu vorbeste despre cele doua faze ale judecatii (vezi comentariul de la Apocalipsa 14,7; 20,11–15). Apostolul se asteapta sa apara inaintea scaunului de judecata al lui Hristos (vezi comentariul de la 2 Corinteni 5,10) si ii pregateste pe cititori sa fie si ei gata pentru ceasul acela solemn. Vezi comentariul de la Faptele Apostolilor 17,31; 2 Petru 2,9. |

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).
