3:19 in care S-a dus sa propovaduiasca duhurilor din inchisoare, In care. [,,Prin care”, KJV]. Sau ,,cu privire la care”, ,,in virtutea caruia”. Nu s-a ajuns inca la o concluzie unanima, daca ,,in care” [,,prin care”] se refera la ,,Duhul” (v. 18) sau la ideea generala din v. 18. Unii dintre cei care accepta exprimarea ,,in duh” din v. 18 (vezi comentariul de acolo) sustin ca prin cuvintele ,,in care” se face referire la ,,duh” si considera ca in v. 19 se declara ca intre rastignire si inviere Domnul Hristos ,,a predicat” asa-ziselor spirite imateriale ale antediluvienilor. Totusi, din adoptarea exprimarii ,,in duh” nu reiese neaparat concluzia aceasta. In plus, ea este total nebiblica si trebuie deci respinsa (vezi mai jos, la ,,duhurilor”). Urmatoarele trei explicatii date acestui pasaj dificil sunt toate in armonie cu invatatura generala a Scripturii cu privire la starea omului in moarte: 1. 1. Cuvintele ,,in care” [,,prin care”, KJV] se refera la substantivul propriu ,,in Duhul” [KJV] (adica Duhul Sfant) si deci in v. 19 se declara ca Domnul Hristos a predicat antediluvienilor prin Duhul Sfant, care a condus lucrarea lui Noe. 2. 2. Cuvintele ,,in care” [,,prin care”, KJV] se refera la exprimarea preferata, ,,in duh” (ca in traducerea Cornilescu), care se refera la preexistenta Domnului Hristos, care, la fel ca starea Sa de dupa inviere, cand a primit o natura proslavita, poate fi descrisa prin cuvintele ,,in duh”. Compara cu declaratia ,,Dumnezeu este Duh” (vezi comentariul de la Ioan 4,24). Domnul Hristos le predica antediluvienilor ,,cand se facea corabia”, deci in timpul preexistentei Sale. Vezi comentariul de la Evrei 9,14. 3. 3. Cuvintele ,,in care” [,,prin care”, KJV] se refera la v. 18 ca un tot, iar v. 19 inseamna ca, in virtutea mortii si invierii Sale inca viitoare, Domnul Hristos ,,a mers si a predicat” antediluvienilor ,,in duh”, prin lucrarea lui Noe. In virtutea faptului ca avea sa fie ,,omorat in trup”si ,,inviat in duh” (v. 18), prin Noe El a predicat mai dinainte mantuirea, iar persoanele care au primit-o ,,au fost scapate prin apa”. La fel, doar prin ,,invierea lui Isus Hristos” poate botezul sa ne mantuiasca (v. 21). Cea dintai dintre aceste trei explicatii e posibila doar daca este adoptata exprimarea ,,de Duhul” (vezi comentariul de la v. 18). A doua si a treia se armonizeaza mai bine cu constructia greaca (a versetelor 18, 19), cu contextul imediat si cu pasajele paralele din Vechiul Testament. [,,De asemenea”, KJV]. [KJV: ,,in care S-a dus de asemenea sa propavaduiasca duhurilor din inchisoare”]. Aceste cuvinte fac referire la pronumele ,,ne” (v. 18). Planul ca la Golgota Domnul Isus ,,sa ne aduca la Dumnezeu” a fost disponibil si pentru antediluvieni. De fapt nu exista alta solutie pentru ca oamenii sa poata scapa din robia diavolului (vezi comentariul de la Faptele Apostolilor 4,12). S-a dus sa propovaduiasca. Este accentuat faptul ca a propavaduit, nu ca a mers. Cuvantul tradus ,,propovaduit” (kerusso) este cuvantul folosit pentru predicarea Domnului Hristos pe cand era pe pamant. Cu privire la timpul cand a avut loc predica la care se face referire aici, vezi comentariul de la v. 20. Duhurilor. Gr. pneumata, pluralul lui pneuma, ,,vant”, ,,suflare”, ,,spirit” (vezi comentariul de la Luca 8,55; vezi si comentariul de la Numeri 5,14). Suflarea [,,respiratia”] este una din caracteristicile de baza ale fiintelor vii si, printr-o figura de vorbire (sinecdota), in care o parte caracteristica a unui lucru reprezinta totul/intregul, pneuma inseamna ,,persoana”. Compara cu 1 Corinteni 16,18, unde ,,duhul meu” inseamna ,,eu”; vezi si Galateni 6,18; 2 Timotei 4,22 etc., unde ,,duhul vostru” inseamna ,,voi” (compara cu Filipeni 4,23). Vezi comentariul de la Evrei 12,9.23; compara cu Numeri 16,22; 27,16. Asadar cuvantul ,,duhurilor” poate face referire la fiintele umane vii. De fapt se pare ca prima parte a versetului 20 identifica aceste duhuri cu oamenii care traiau pe pamant chiar inainte de Potop. Ele erau fiinte umane tot atat de reale si vii ca si cele ,,opt suflete” din v. 20. Unii sustin ca din cap. 3,18–20 si cap. 4,6 reiese ca sufletul este nemuritor, ca omul este constient dupa moarte si ca in intervalul dintre crucificare si inviere Domnul Hristos a coborat in Hades, taramul figurat al celor morti (vezi comentariul de la Matei 11,23), pentru a le predica sufletelor imateriale care lancezeau acolo. Dar logica acestui punct de vedere cere ca ,,duhurile” la care se face referire aici sa fi fost intr-un fel de purgatoriu pe vremea cand Domnul Hristos le-a predicat si deci scopul predicarii Sale sa fi fost de a le oferi o a doua ocazie la mantuire si astfel posibilitatea de a iesi din purgatoriu. Dar cei mai multi din protestantii care cred ca Petru sustine aici starea constienta a omului dupa moarte, ar fi scandalizati sa accepte doctrina papala a purgatoriului si doctrina la fel de nebiblica a unei a doua ocazii. Cei care sustin ca aici Petru sprijina credinta lor in asa-zisa nemurire naturala a sufletului, trebuie de asemenea sa explice de ce Domnul Hristos ar fi partinitor fata de duhurile pacatosilor morti din timpul lui Noe si nu le-ar da si oamenilor din celelalte generatii o ocazie asemanatoare. Scripturile arata lamurit ca doar in aceasta viata poate omul sa accepte mantuirea si ca la moarte timpul sau de har se incheie (vezi comentariul de la Matei 16,27; Luca 16,26–31; Romani 2,6; Evrei 9,27; compara cu Ezechiel 18,24; Apocalipsa22,12). Ele de asemenea invata ca mortii nu sunt constienti (vezi comentariul de la Psalmi 146,4; Eclesiastul 9,5.6; Matei 10,28; Ioan 11,11; 1 Tesaloniceni 4,13; vezi si comentariul de la Genesa 2,7; Eclesiastul 12,7). Asadar conceptia ca aceste duhuri sunt fiinte imateriale, constiente, in stare de a auzi si de a accepta Evanghelia, contrazice numeroasele invataturi clare ale Scripturii. Ar trebui observat faptul ca Petru nu spune ca Domnul Hristos a predicat duhurilor imateriale. A argumenta ca oamenii din timpul lui Noe nu au avut ocazii suficiente sa fie salvati inseamna a trece cu vederea faptul ca Noe era un ,,propovaduitor al neprihanirii” pentru generatia sa (2 Petru 2,5) si ca ei au lepadat in mod intentionat solia pe care Dumnezeu le-o trimisese prin el (1 Petru 3,20, vezi comentariul de acolo). ,,Indelunga rabdare a lui Dumnezeu” n-ar mai fi fost ,,in asteptare, in zilele lui Noe, cand se facea corabia” (v. 20), daca celor pe care Dumnezeu ii chema cu atata dragoste nu li s-ar fi dat ocazia de a crede si de asculta. Inchisoare. Gr. phulake, ,,straja”, ,,paza”, deci un loc unde oamenii erau supravegheati si paziti, o ,,inchisoare”. Contextul este cel care hotaraste daca Petru vorbeste aici la propriu sau la figurat. Daca este inteleasa al propriu, aceasta ,,inchisoare” ar fi, asa cum sustin unii, un loc unde sufletele celor decedati, ca duhurile din v. 19, sunt pazite pana cand li se hotaraste soarta. Daca este inteles la figurat, cuvantul ,,inchisoare” se refera la starea spirituala a ,,duhurilor” ,,razvratite”. Pentru folosirea figurata a cuvantului ,,inchisoare”, vezi Isaia 42,7; compara cu Isaia 61,1; Luca 4,18. Cat de legati erau antediluvienii in inchisoarea pacatului este evident din Genesa 6,5–13 si din faptul ca numai opt persoane au scapat din ea (1 Petru 3,20). Numai Domnul Hristos poate sa-i elibereze pe oameni din obiceiurile si dorintele rele prin care ii incatuseaza Satana. |

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).
