Printable ModeFaptele Apostolilor 16:17
|
16:17 Roaba aceasta s-a luat dupa Pavel si dupa noi, si striga: Oamenii acestia sunt robii Dumnezeului Celui Preainalt si ei va vestesc calea mantuirii. S-a luat dupa. [A urmat, KJV.] Gr. katakoloutheo ,,a se tine dupa”, ,,a urma de-aproape”. Tanara se tinea indeaproape de misionari si striga fara incetare (cf. v. 18). Compara cu publicitatea facuta lui Isus de duhurile necurate sau demoni (Luca 4,33-37; 8,26-36). Noi. Ultima aparitie a pronumelui inclusiv in aceasta parte a naratiunii. Nu mai e folosit pana la cap. 20,5, unde Pavel se reintoarce in Filipi. Pare de aceea probabil ca Luca a ramas la Filipi, poate pentru a raspandi Evanghelia in districtul acela, si a reluat legatura cu apostolii din nou, cand Pavel a trecut prin cetatea aceea, in a treia lui calatorie misionara. Aceasta ar da lui Luca o sedere de vreo sapte ani in Filipi (vezi p. 102), desi, natural, trebuie sa se admita ca el trebuie sa fi facut diferite calatorii in regiunile invecinate, in decursul acestui timp. Dumnezeului Celui Prea Inalt. Gr. ho theos ho hupsistos, literal, ,,Dumnezeul cel prea inalt.” Pentru o corecta intelegere a acestui titlu, e necesar sa retinem cadrul in care a fost folosit si intelesul cuvantului hupsistos. Cuvantul acesta era un termen poetic insemnand ,,cel mai inalt” sau ,,cel prea inalt” si adesea cu referire la pozitie sau rang. Sensul lui in plan religios poate fi legat cu terminologia semitica. Canaanitii aveau un dumnezeu al boltii cerului, pe care il numea Elyon, ,,Prea Inaltul”. Titlu acesta era aplicat si lui Iehova, Dumnezeul israelitilor (vezi Geneza 14,18). Grecii foloseau pe hupsistos ca un echivalent al lui Elyon si-l foloseau pentru Zeus, capetenia propriului lor panteon. Cand au venit in contact cu religia iudaica, au folosit hupsistos pentru a reprezenta pe Iehova, Dumnezeul iudeilor. Asa e folosit in LXX (Geneza 14,18-22; Numeri 24,16; Deuteronom 32,8; 2 Samuel 22,14 etc.). Titlul a devenit atat de bine cunoscut prin activitatea misionara a iudeilor din Diaspora, incat era folosit pentru Dumnezeire de romanii care dobandisera oarecare invatatura iudaica, fara sa fi acceptat pe deplin religia lor. Inscriptii din regatul Bosforului, la nord de Marea Neagra, facute in sec. I d.Hr. si, deci, contemporane cu Pavel, marturisesc amplu cu privire la folosirea lui hupsistos. In cazul de fata, titlul hupsistos era rostit de tanara roaba. Intrucat se spune ca fusese posedata de ,,un duh al lui Python” (vezi Fapte 16,16), cuvintele ei trebuie sa fie considerate din punct de vedere al fundalului lor pagan. Cand, deci, ea vorbea despre ,,Dumnezeul cel Prea inalt”, probabil ca se referea la conceptia pagana comuna a unei fiinte divine vagi, despre care se presupunea ca stapanea peste binecunoscutul panteon grec. Cu toate acestea, cuvintele ei exprimau un mare adevar. Crestinii dupa care se tinea erau cu adevarat slujitori ai singurului Dumnezeu Prea Inalt. In ce priveste cazuri oarecum similare, compara Marcu 1,24; 5,7. Calea mantuirii. Vezi Ioan 14, 6; Fapte 4,12, unde Isus Hristos este descoperit ca singura cale de mantuire. Mintea intunecata a tinerei dorea dupa o participare la ,,calea mantuirii”, dar demonul din ea se impotrivea acelei ,,cai” si cuvintele ei impiedicau lucrarea misionarilor. |

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).
