Printable Mode1 Timotei 3:2
|
3:2 Dar trebuie ca episcopul sa fie fara prihana, barbatul unei singure neveste, cumpatat, intelept, vrednic de cinste, primitor de oaspeti, in stare sa invete pe altii. Trebuie. Gr. dei, ,,e necesar”, adica prin natura sa (intrinsec). Un conducator crestin trebuie sa traiasca principiile marturisii sale de credinta daca vrea sa-i convinga pe altii de valoarea soliei. Un curent de apa nu se ridica mai sus de izvorul ei, iar o congregatie de obicei nu se va ridica mai presus de conducatorii ei. Fara prihana. Sau ,,ireprosabil”, ,,nesupus cenzurii”. Conducatorul unei biserici trebuie sa indeplineasca cerintele prezentate in continuare de Pavel. E nevoie ca el sa-si dovedeasca curatia morala. Unei singure neveste. Expresia aceasta a primit urmatoarele interpretari: (1) toti slujbasii Evangheliei ar trebui sa fie casatoriti; (2) poligamia si concubinajul le sunt strict interzise; (3) o persoana divortata n-ar trebui sa slujeasca in calitate de episcop; (4) conducatorii nu ar trebui sa se recasatoreasca daca au ramas vaduvi. S-a sustinut ca prima explicatie nu se armonizeaza cu afirmatia lui Pavel, care ii incuraja pe barbati sa traiasca asa cum traia el, adica fara sotie (vezi 1 Corinteni 7:7, 8). Adeptii primei interpretari atrag atentia ca declaratiile lui Pavel cu privire la casatorie, privite in contextul lor, se aplica la ,,stramtorarea de acum” (vezi 1 Corinteni 7:26, 28). Pavel nu era impotriva familiei, pe care Dumnezeu o instituise in Eden. Relatia dintre sot si sotie este unul dintre mijloacele randuite de El pentru buna dezvoltare a celor doi, dupa cum declara chiar apostolul (vezi Efeseni 5:22–33; 1 Timotei 4:3; Evrei 13:4). Fara indoiala ca Pavel da acest sfat episcopilor deoarece un barbat casatorit ar fi mai bine pregatit sa inteleaga multele probleme care apar in familiile din biserica. Cu siguranta ca Pavel condamna aici celibatul obligatoriu al clerului. Lucrul acesta mai presus de orice discutie. A doua explicatie poate sa reflecte unul din principiile sustinute de Pavel, deoarece el a condamnat intotdeauna promiscuitatea sexuala. Intr-o vreme cand concubinajul si poligamia erau acceptate social, biserica crestina trebuia sa ofere un exemplu de viata curata. Daca membrii bisericii gresesc in privinta aceasta, pot fi cenzurati si iertati, dar daca un conducator da gres in a exemplifica curatia morala, isi pierde prin aceasta dreptul la pozitia de conducere. S-ar putea ca Pavel sa sublinieze aici primejdia de a numi episcop sau prezbiter o persoana imorala. Aceia care sustin a treia explicatie scot in evidenta faptul ca, asa cum iudeii recunosteau cele mai neinsemnate motive de divort (vezi Matei 5:32) unii crestini din biserica primara scuzau divortul si pentru alte cauze decat adulterul (vezi Matei 19:8, 9). Un episcop divortat, din oricare motiv, ar fi fost nepotrivit pentru a conduce spiritual o biserica. De-a lungul timpului s-a sprijinit mai mult a patra explicatie. Cei care inclina spre ea prefera traducerea ,,casatorit numai o data”. Cei care sunt impotriva acestei opinii sustin ca expresia din limba greaca nu implica in mod necesar ca un episcop nu poate fi casatorit mai mult de o singura data, ci spune numai ca trebuie sa fie ,,barbatul unei singure neveste”, adica nu poate avea doua sau mai multe sotii in acelasi timp. Se arata de asemenea ca nicaieri in Scriptura nu este condamnata recasatorirea dupa moartea primei sotii si ca nici nu este daunatoare conducerii spirituale. In sfarsit, cei care se opun acestei opinii observa ca cei mai inflacarati aparatori ai acestei opinii sunt cei care sustin celibatul si alte practici ascetice extreme. Un lucru e clar: episcopul trebuie sa fie fidel sotiei sale, lucru care ar servi pentru turma sa ca un model vrednic de urmat. Cumpatat. [,,Treaz”, KJV]. Gr. nephalios, ,,care se abtine de la vin”, ,,sobru”. In uzul clasic nephaleos descrie o mancare sau libatiune fara vin, adusa unui zeu pagan. Intelept. [,,Sobru”, KJV]. Gr. sophron, ,,prudent”, ,,cu mintea sanatoasa”, ,,stapan pe sine”. De astfel de conducatori este mereu nevoie in biserica, pentru a evita fanatismul si pentru a conduce in vremuri grele. Vrednic de cinste. [,,Buna purtare”, KJV]. Gr. kosmios, ,,ordonat” (vezi cap. 2:9). Primitor de oaspeti. [,,Dat ospitalitatii”, KJV]. Vezi Romani 12:13. Episcopul ar trebui sa fie vestit ospitalitatea sa fata de calatorii crestini. In stare sa invete pe altii. Gr. didaktikos, ,,indemanatic la a da invataturi”. Slujitorul lui Dumnezeu trebuie sa fie dispus sa invete, dar trebuie si sa poata sa-i invete pe altii din adevarurile cuvantului divin, urmand exemplul Marelui Invatator. |

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).
