14:26 Acolo, sa cumperi cu argintul acela tot ce vei dori: boi, oi, vin si bauturi tari, tot ce-ti va placea, sa le mananci inaintea Domnului, Dumnezeului tau, si sa te bucuri tu si familia ta. Ce vei dori. Mai bine, ,,dori”. Acelasi cuvant ebraic mai este tradus ,,dorit” sau ,,doreste” (Iov. 23,13; Psalmi 132,13.14; Isaia 26,9; Mica 7,1). Necesitatea de a-i aproviziona pe inchinatorii care venisera de la departare cu diferite articole pentru ospat a dus pana la urma la infiintarea unui targ in zona Templului din Ierusalim. O astfel de situatie avea sa corupa in curand o preotie inclinata spre cele lumesti si sa dea nastere la un izvor de castig personal (vezi Ieremia 6,13; 23,11). Bauturi tari. ,,Vinul” si ,,bauturile tari” la care se face referire aici erau ambele fermentate. In timpurile trecute, adesea Dumnezeu a ,,trecut cu vederea” marea ,,ignoranta” raspunzatoare de practici pe care El niciodata nu le putea aproba. Dar pana la urma vine timpul cand, in privinta fiecarui punct, Dumnezeu ,,porunceste acum tuturor oamenilor de pretutindeni sa se pocaiasca” (Fapte 17,30). Atunci cei care persista in practicile lor, in ciuda sfatului si avertizarii, nu mai au ,,nici o dezvinovatire pentru pacatele lor” (Ioan 15,22). Inainte de timpul acesta, ,,ei nu avusesera pacat”, iar Dumnezeu nu-i tragea intru totul la raspundere, chiar daca faptele lor erau departe de ideal. Indelunga lui rabdare este extinsa asupra tuturor celor care ,,nu stiu ce fac” (Luca 23,34). Asemenea lui Pavel, care a prigonit biserica ,,din nestiinta, in necredinta” (1 Timotei 1,13), ei pot obtine indurare. In vremurile cele vechi, Dumnezeu a ingaduit izraelitilor sa aiba sclavi, dar a ocrotit pe sclavi impotriva nedreptatii (Exod 21,16.20). Nici chiar in biserica crestina, sclavia n-a fost desfiintata imediat, dar stapanii erau indemnati sa se poarte amabil cu sclavii lor (Efeseni 6,9; Coloseni 4,1). Tot asa, Dumnezeu n-a aprobat niciodata practicarea divortului sau pastrarea mai multor sotii. ,,De la inceput n-a fost asa” (Matei 19,8). Dar, pentru un timp, Dumnezeu a indurat aceasta si a dat instructiuni destinate sa ocroteasca drepturile femeilor pentru a indulci suferinta care rezulta din aceste practici si spre a ocroti legatura de casatorie de abuzuri mai mari (Exod 21,7-11; Deutronom 21,10-17). In timp ce, pe de o parte, Dumnezeu n-a interzis lui Avraam, de exemplu, sa ia o a doua sotie, pe Agar, El nu l-a ocrotit de relele care au rezultat dintr-o astfel de procedare. Dumnezeu a dat lui Moise legi destinate nu sa desfiinteze direct poligamia, ci pentru a o descuraja (Levitic 18,18; Deutronom 17,17), pentru a pune restrictii la divort (Deutronom 22,19.29; 24,1) si pentru a ridica nivelul vietii de casatorie (Exod 20,14.17; Levitic 20,10; Deutronom 22,22). Hristos a aratat clar ca prevederile Vechiului Testament pentru mai multe sotii si pentru divort nu erau ideale, ci mai degraba un mijloc vremelnic ingaduit de Dumnezeu, ,,din pricina impietririi inimilor voastre” (Matei 19,4-8). Hristos a aratat idealul lui Dumnezeu pentru caminele crestine (Matei 19,9), care intotdeauna a fost monogamia (Matei 19,4-6; 1 Timotei 3,2; Tit 1,6). Crestinul nu trebuie sa fie in indoiala cat priveste voia lui Dumnezeu in aceasta privinta si, de aceea, nu are nici cea mai mica scuza avuta de barbatii vremurilor Vechiului Testament.. Astfel a fost si cu ,,vinul” si cu ,,bauturile tari”. Nici unul nici altul n-au fost strict oprite, cu exceptia celor angajati in insarcinari religioase, si probabil si in administrarea dreptatii (Levitic 10,9; Proverbe 31,4.5). Relele ,,vinului” si ale ,,bauturilor tari” au fost aratate in mod clar, poporul a fost sfatuit sa se abtina de la ele (Proverbe 20,1; 23,29-33), si un blestem a fost pronuntat asupra acelora care aveau sa ademeneasca pe altii sa se dedea la bautura (Habacuc 2,15). Dar Pavel pune in fata noastra idealul, declarand ,,Deci fie ca mancati, fie ca beti, fie ca faceti altceva, sa faceti totul spre slava lui Dumnezeu” (1 Corinteni 10,31) si ne avertizeaza ca Dumnezeu va nimici pe cei care pangaresc trupurile lor (1 Corinteni 3,16.17). Bauturile alcoolice ,,manjesc templul lui Dumnezeu”, iar folosirea lor nu poate fi considerata ca mijloc de preamarire a Lui (1 Corinteni 6,19.20; 10,31). Pavel a parasit folosirea oricarui lucru vatamator pentru corp (1 Corinteni 9,27). Nu exista astazi nici o scuza pentru argumentul ca nu este nimic rau in folosirea bauturilor imbatatoare, pe temeiul ca Dumnezeu le-a ingaduit candva. Dupa cum s-a vazut deja, El a ingaduit pe vremuri si sclavia si poligamia. Biblia avertizeaza ca ,,betivii” nu vor ,,mosteni imparatia lui Dumnezeu” (1 Corinteni 6,10). Placea. De la un verb ebraic diferit decat ,,placea”. ,,A dori” este dintr-un cuvant care inseamna ,,a solicita”, ,,a cere”. Sa le mananci. Un ospat sacru pentru intreaga familie ,,inaintea Domnului”, adica inaintea sanctuarului. Familia ta. Aceasta avea sa cuprinda nu numai membrii apropiati ai familiei, ci si slujitorii (cap. 12,18). |

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).
