2:15 si, in trupul Lui, a inlaturat vrajmasia dintre ei, Legea poruncilor, in oranduirile ei, ca sa faca pe cei doi sa fie in El insusi un singur om nou, facand astfel pace; In trupul Lui. Adica in sacrificiul trupului Lui de pe cruce. Inlaturat. [,,A desfiintat,” KJV]. Gr. katargeo, ,,a inlatura,” ,,a face nul si neavenit.” Verbul este folosit cu privire la smochinul neroditor care ,,cuprindea pamantul degeaba” (katargeo) (Luc 13:7), cum si cu privire al necredinta care ,,nimiceste” [,,face fara efect”] credinciosia [,,credinta”] lui Dumnezeu (vezi la Rom 3:3). Vrajmasia. Cuvantul acesta poate fi considerat ca fiind in opozitie fie cu zidul de la mijloc” fie cu ,,legea poruncilor.” Textul grec pare sa favorizeze prima varianta, desi cea de-a doua nu e imposibila, si ar putea fi favorizata de context. Cele doua idei nu sunt lipsite de legatura. Hristos a inlaturat vrajmasia prin actul desfiintarii ,,Legii poruncilor, in oranduirile ei.” Legea poruncilor. Aceasta este in general considerata ca referindu-se la legea ceremoniala. Este adevarat ca legea ceremoniala s-a sfarsit la cruce, dar ar trebui sa se retina ca sistemul ceremonial asa cum il daduse Dumnezeu nu crease vrajmasia pe care o descria aici Pavel. Temeiul vrajmasiei era interpretarea pe care iudeii o dadeau, adaugirile pe care le facusera ei la ea, si atitudinile exclusiviste si ostile pe care ei le adoptasera in consecinta. Randuielile adaugate, impreuna cu interpretarile implicite, serveau fie ca sa modifice forta si functiunea poruncilor originare sau sa le anuleze in mare masura. Orice persoana dintre neamuri care dorea sa se ataseze la ,,cetatenia lui Israel” (vers. 12) era confruntata cu un sistem complicat de principii legale. E usor de a vedea cum sistemul i-ar prezenta o slaba atractie, sau cum Dumnezeul care credea el, era autorul sistemului, nu l-ar atrage. In felul acesta sistemul iudaic statea ca o bariera de netrecut, un zid de despartire, impiedicand neamurile de a accepta religia Dumnezeului adevarat. Iudeilor le era scarba de vecinii lor dintre neamuri si-i detestau, si neamurile, la randul lor, urau si dispretuiau pe vecinii lor iudei. Dumnezeu incredintase iudeilor ,,cuvintele” divine (Rom 3:2). Ei se gaseau in lume ca reprezentanti oficiali ai religiei adevarate. Pana la intemeierea bisericii crestine nu a mai fost un alt popor la care Dumnezeu putea sa indrume pe cei care cautau mantuirea. Referindu-se la carturarii si fariseii care ,,sed pe scaunul lui Moise,” Isus Insusi sfatuia pe oameni: ,,toate cate va spun ei sa le paziti , paziti-le si faceti-le” (Mat 23:3). Cand iudeii au lepadat pe Hristos, pozitia lor ca reprezentanti oficiali ai adevaratei religii a fost luata de la ei si data bisericii crestine (vezi la Mat 21:43). Dupa crucificare n-a mai fost necesar ca copilul lui Dumnezeu sa se mai supuna ritualului iudaic (vezi la Gal 2:16). La inceput distinctia dintre crestinism si iudaism nu era prea clar inteleasa. Multi convertiti iudei credeau ca crestinismul era un simplu iudaism la care se adaugase credinta in Isus ca Mesia. Ei sustineau ca neamurile trebuie sa fie circumcise si sa se conformeze sistemului legalist iudaic pe langa acceptarea din partea lor a lui Isus Hristos. Conciliului de la Ierusalim s-a intrunit pentru a rezolva aceasta problema(Fapte 15). Conciliul a hotarat contra pretentiilor acestor oameni. Drept urmare, a luat fiinta un puternic partid, care continua sa insiste ca neamurile ar trebui sa accepte iudaismul impreuna cu crestinismul. O grupa de zeloti din partida aceasta a tulburat bisericile din Galatia, o situatie care a dat nastere Epistolei lui Pavel catre Galateni, in care el a expus lamurit ca sistemul iudaismului era invechit de-acum. Aceeasi tranzitie de la iudaism la crestinism este tema lui Pavel in acest verset. Iudaismul, cu complicatul lui sistem de porunci si decrete, a fost desfiintat. Odata cu acceptarea lui Hristos si indepartarea acestei bariere, neamurile care erau ,,indepartate” au fost ,,apropiate.” Dar sfarsitul iudaismului nu insemna abrogarea tuturor legilor pe care Dumnezeu le daduse iudeilor. Legea ceremoniala care arata catre Hristos in mod natural a ajuns la momentul cand Hristos a implinit simbolurile ei. Legea civila iudaica deja trecuse odata cu pierderea suveranitatii natiunii. Dar preceptele morale, care sunt o transcriere a caracterului lui Dumnezeu, sunt vesnice ca si Dumnezeu Insusi si nu pot fi abrogate. In toata invatatura lui cu privire la sfarsitul sistemului legal iudaic, Pavel a facut foarte clar faptul ca legea morala n-a fost abrogata (vezi la +Rom 3:31). Cand vorbeste despre desfiintarea circumciziei Pavel a fost atent ca sa adauge: ,,dar pazirea poruncilor lui Dumnezeu [este totul]” (vezi la 1Cor 7:19). Vezi mai departe la Gal 2:16. [,,Cuprinsa,” KJV]. Cuvantul acesta [in KJV] este adaugat. Propozitia poate fi tradusa ,,legea poruncilor constand din decrete [sau ,,exprimata in decrete”].” Oranduirile. Gr. dogmata, ,,decrete,” ,,porunci,” ,,edicte.” In Luc 2:1 cuvantul este folosit cu privire la decretul dat de Cezar August ca ,,sa se inscrie toata lumea,” si in Fapte 17:7 despre decretele lui Cezar in general. In fapte 16:4 dogmata descrie decretele Conciliului de la Ierusalim. In versetul de fata dogmata descrie decretele legii iudaice. Sa faca. Gr. ktizo, ,,a crea,” asa cum cuvantul este tradus in vers. 10. Cei doi. [,,Din doi,” KJV]. Literal , ,,din cei doi,” adica iudeul si cel dintre neamuri. Un singur om nou. Aceasta inseamna mai mult decat armonie stabilita intre ei. Cuvantul grec pentru ,,nou” inseamna nou in calitate si nu in timp. Aici este o persoana noua, de o calitate diferita de oricare din cele doua elemente componente ale ei (cf. cap. 4:24). Facand pace. Cuvintele acestea explica expresia, ,,El este pacea noastra,” din vers. 14. |

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).
