Printable Mode1 Ioan 5:16
|
5:16 Daca vede cineva pe fratele sau savarsind un pacat care nu duce la moarte, sa se roage; si Dumnezeu ii va da viata, pentru cei ce n-au savarsit un pacat care duce la moarte. Este un pacat care duce la moarte; nu-i zic sa se roage pentru pacatul acela. Daca … cineva. Vezi cap. 1,6; 2,1; 4,20. Ioan foloseste un caz ipotetic pentru a prezenta o invatatura importanta. Este evident ca aici el face referire la un crestin care intelege natura adevarata a pacatului. Fratele sau. Aceste cuvinte limiteaza invatatura lui Ioan la comunitatea crestina; el vorbeste despre preocuparea pentru un frate de credinta. Savarsind un pacat. Adica in delict flagrant. Care nu duce la moarte. Este incontestabil faptul ca Ioan face deosebire intre formele pacatului, deoarece putin mai departe, in acelasi verset, el vorbeste despre ,,un pacat care duce la moarte”. Dar trebuie sa se aiba in vedere contextul. In v. 14, 15 el l-a asigurat pe credincios ca va primi raspuns la rugaciunile sale; aici el limiteaza aceasta asigurare la un anumit fel de rugaciune – cea facuta in favoarea altuia – si explica in ce imprejurari poate ea avea efect. Facand asa, trateaza doua categorii de pacat: cel pentru care mai exista nadejde pentru pacatos si cel pentru care nu mai exista nadejde. In prima categorie rugaciunea poate fi un ajutor eficient in mantuire; in a doua, asa cum explica Ioan mai departe, nu exista garantie ca rugaciunea va fi ascultata. Se sustine, in general, ca pacatul care duce la moarte este pacatul care nu poate fi iertat (vezi comentariul de la Matei 12,31.32). Prin urmare, un pacat care nu duce la moarte este oricare alta forma a pacatului in care cade un frate gresit. Sa se roage. Sa se roage lui Hristos pentru fratele gresit. Aceste cuvinte pot fi considerate fie un indemn la rugaciune, fie incurajarea reactiei naturale pe care o are credinciosul serios atunci cand e confruntat cu pacatul altuia. Biserica ar fi fost cu mult mai fericita daca, in loc sa se discute slabiciunea unui frate, credinciosii s-ar ruga pentru el si, daca e posibil, cu el. Aceasta lucrare de mijlocire i-ar pregati pe crestini pentru sarcina delicata de a vorbi cu pacatosul si de a-i indrepta atentia catre Mantuitorul. O astfel de discutie ajuta la zidirea bisericii, in timp ce barfa si critica o darama. Ii va da viata. E dificil de stabilit la cine se refera pronumele din aceasta propozitie. Succesiunea ideilor sugereaza ca apostolul vorbeste despre crestinul care se roaga pentru un frate gresit si prin aceasta il ajuta pe pacatos sa aiba viata. Dar este cu putinta si ca Ioan sa-si fi schimbat brusc subiectul si sa zica: Hristos ii va da crestinului viata, pentru a o transmite acelor pacatosi care nu si-au impietrit de tot inima. Diferenta e numai de interpretare, deoarece in ambele cazuri este vorba de aceeasi lucrare. Crestinul nu are putere decat de la Mantuitorul; asa ca, in cele din urma, Hristos este Cel care da viata, desi s-ar putea ca instrumentul prin care a fost transmisa viata sa fie rugaciunea de mijlocire. Totusi, o astfel de ,,viata” este primita numai daca pacatosul se pocaieste sincer. Pentru cei. Sau ,,celor”. Scriitorul a trecut de la un caz particular la general si vorbeste despre toti cei care ,,n-au savarsit un pacat car duce la moarte”. Este un pacat care duce la moarte. Sau ,,este pacat care duce la moarte”. Intrucat Ioan nu defineste un anume pacat care duce neaparat la moarte, probabil ca se refera aici la un tip de pacat care va duce cu siguranta la moarte. Daca Ioan ar fi cunoscut un anumit pacat care sa-l lase pe om fara nadejde de mantuire, era de asteptat sa-l numeasca, pentru ca toti sa se poata feri de o astfel de condamnare irevocabila. Desi este adevarat ca orice pacat, daca pacatosul staruie in el, va duce la moarte (Ezechiel 18,4.24; Iacov 1,15), exista pacate care il duc pe om mai repede aproape de moarte. Pacatele comise de cei care doresc cu adevarat sa-L slujeasca pe Dumnezeu, dar care au o vointa slaba si obiceiuri puternice, sunt foarte diferite de acele pacate care sunt savarsite voit, sfidandu-L cu nerusinare si premeditare pe Dumnezeu. Ceea ce face diferenta sunt atitudinea si motivul, nu actul pacatului in sine. In sensul acesta pacatele se deosebesc intre ele. O greseala mai mica, daca a fost repede marturisita si iertata, e un pacat care nu duce la moarte. Un pacat mai grav, facut pe neasteptate, din lipsa puterii spirituale, nu este nici el un pacat care duce la moarte, daca este urmat de o pocainta adevarata, dar refuzul de a se pocai il duce pe om cu siguranta de moartea finala. Deosebirea este clar ilustrata in experienta lui Saul si a lui David. Primul a pacatuit si nu s-a pocait; al doilea a pacatuit grav, dar s-a pocait serios. Saul a murit fara speranta vietii vesnice; David a fot iertat si si-a asigurat un loc in imparatia lui Dumnezeu (vezi PP 634, 679, 723–726). Pentru studiul despre pacatul care nu poate fi iertat, vezi comentariul de la Matei 12,31.32. Nu-i zic. [,,Nu zic”, KJV]. Ioan nu ne porunceste sa ne rugam si nici nu spune ca n-ar trebui, dar ezita sa garanteze ca cei care pacatuiesc in mod deliberat vor primi raspuns la rugaciune. Este o diferenta intre rugaciunea inaltata pentru noi insine si cea in favoarea altora. Atunci cand vointa noastra este predata lui Dumnezeu, putem sa cerem in acord cu voia Sa si sa stim ca vom primi raspuns la rugaciunile noastre. Dar cand e vorba de o treia persoana, trebuie sa tinem cont de faptul ca si ea are vointa. Daca refuza sa se pocaiasca, toate rugaciunile noastre si toata lucrarea pe care Dumnezeu ar putea s-o faca si ne-ar putea indemna pe noi sa o facem nu va constrange vointa celeilalte persoane. Refuzand sa-l constranga pe om sa ramana bun, Dumnezeu a renuntat de asemenea la puterea de a-l constrange pe pacatos sa se pocaiasca. Asta nu inseamna ca nu ar trebui sa ne mai rugam pentru cei care s-au abatut de la credinta sau pentru cei care nu s-au predat inca Mantuitorului. Nu inseamna ca nu vor fi convertiri remarcabile ca urmare a multor rugaciuni fierbinti inaltate de inimi credincioase. Dar Ioan arata ca nu este de folos sa se faca rugaciuni de mijlocire pentru un pacatos atata timp cat el refuza sa se pocaiasca de pacatul lui. Totusi, cat timp sunt motive de speranta, ar trebui sa continuam sa ne rugam, deoarece nu putem spune cu certitudine daca un om a ajuns prea departe. |

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).
