Printable ModeGalateni 5:4
|
5:4 Voi, care voiti sa fiti socotiti neprihaniti prin Lege, v-ati despartit de Hristos; ati cazut din har. Socotiti neprihaniti prin lege. [,,Indreptatiti prin Lege,” KJV]. Adica, isi inchipuisera ca pot dobandi dreptatea prin lucrarea legii (vezi p. 933, vezi Rom 3:20; Gal 3:19.24). Ce poate cel mai mult sa faca ,,legea” este de a arata omului nevoia lui de indreptatire si sa-i arate calea lui Hristos. In Evanghelia sa Pavel prezentase planul lui Dumnezeu pentru mantuirea omului. Este acelasi plan pe temeiul caruia Avraam primise indreptatirea (vezi Ga. 3:6). Numai dupa ce fusese declarat drept primise el ritualul circumciziei. Circumcizia – una din ,,faptele legii” – nu a adus neprihanirea. Ea era un semn ca Avraam primise neprihanirea prin credinta (vezi Rom 4:7-11). ,,Faptele” pe care Pavel le recomanda mai tarziu sunt ,,roadele Duhului” (cap. 5:22), si in felul acesta dovada puterii lui Hristos spre mantuire (Rom 1:16), dar in nici un caz mijloc de a-si dobandi prin merite mantuirea. V-ati despartit. [,,A devenit fara folos,” KJV; ,,V-ati prabusit,” G. Galaction]. Sau ,,ati rupt legaturile cu,” ,,ati facut nelucratoare.” Angajarea in legamant cere credinta absoluta din partea credinciosului (vezi vers. 9). Acela care amesteca neprihanirea prin fapte cu credinta, calca prin aceasta partea sa din intelegere, si Hristos in felul acesta este eliberat de orice obligatie fata de el. ,,Faptele” sunt o tagaduire a credintei. Galatenii se numeau pe sine crestini; de fapt, ei fusesera convinsi ca numai aceia care primeau ,,legea” puteau fi adevarati crestini. Dar prin felul lor de purtare ei tagaduiau chiar lucrul acela pe care Hristos venise sa-l faca pentru ei, si se lipsisera de meritele Lui. Daca puteau, cu adevarat, sa castige mantuirea prin merite personale, ce nevoie mai aveau ei de Hristos? Lucrarea Lui in favoarea lor ar fi devenit nenecesara, deoarece gasisera o cale de indreptatire inaintea lui Dumnezeu in propria lor favoare. Daca puteau gasi indreptatirea in afara de Hristos, atunci nu aveau nevoie de El. Dar Isus declarase ca nimeni nu putea veni al Tatal decat numai prin El (Ioan 14:6; cf. Fapte 4:12). Accentul lui Isus asupra adevarului ca El este ,,calea” e atat de proeminent in invataturile Lui incat in anii de mai tarziu urmasii Lui se numeau oamenii ,,caii” (vezi Fapte 9:2; 22:4). Cazut din har. Literal, ,,a cazut afara din har,” ,,a cazut jos in har.” In ce priveste intelesul lui ,,har” vezi Rom 3:24. Galatenii primisera Duhul lui Dumnezeu (cap. 3:2.3), ei experimentasera indreptatirea prin credinta (cap. 1:6) se bucurasera faptic de libertatea Evangheliei (cap. 5:1), ,,alergasera bine” pentru un timp (vers. 7). Daca acum cautarea mantuirii prin ,,faptele legii” (vezi cap. 2:16) urmau sa piarda dreptul la harul lui Hristos de care se bucurasera pana acum (vezi cap. 5:1-4; la cap. 3:19). Aceste doua metode de a dobandi indreptatirea sunt mutual exclusive. A adopta pe una insemna a respinge pe cealalta. Pozitia pe care o iau unii, ca Pavel aici afirma retragerea arbitrara de catre Dumnezeu a harului din cauza unor anumite pacate e fara de temei biblic. Pierderea favorii divine rezulta de pe urma actului voluntar al celui care pierde dreptul la el. Dumnezeu nu exclude pe nimeni de la binecuvantarile mantuirii cu exceptia acelora care se exclud singuri(vezi Exo 18:23.31; 33:11; 2Pet 3:9; vezi Ioan 3:17-20; Efes 1:4-6). Contextul afirmatiei arata clar ca raspunderea revine acelora care in mod deliberat leapada mantuirea prin credinta pentru a cauta mantuirea prin fapte. Nu e o chestiune de parasirea oamenilor de catre Dumnezeu, ci de abatere a oamenilor de la El si refuzarea ofertelor Lui pline de indurare. Dumnezeu ofera iertarea tuturor acelora care se vor abate de la caile lor indaratnice (vezi Ioan 3;16; 1Ioan 1:9). Cineva care a cazut din harul lui Dumnezeu este totdeauna – si numai – cineva care in mod incapatanat a ales un fel de purtare de care stie ca e contrara voii lui Dumnezeu. Aceasta este starea deplorabila a multor zisi crestini de astazi. Aceasta stare este rezultatul dorintei de a urma inclinatiile naturale ale inimii naturale – de a se bucura de placerile pacatului – in loc de a lua seama la indemnurile Duhului lui Dumnezeu. Atata timp cat atari persoane nu savarsesc pacatul de neiertat prin respingerea persistenta a indemnurilor Duhului (vezi Mat 12:31.32.43-45), mai e nadejde ca ei sa fie repusi in har. Pavel combate aici in mod specific si emfatic o alta invatatura populara dar cu totul nebiblica de obicei exprimata in cuvintele: ,,odata in har, totdeauna in har.” Aceasta, la randul ei e intemeiata pe alta invatatura nebiblica potrivit careia Dumnezeu a predestinat anumite persoane sa fie mantuite si pe altele sa fie pierdute indiferent de propria lor alegere. In ce priveste o tratare a adevaratei naturi a predestinatiei biblice vezi Ioan 3:17-20; Efes 1:4-6. Potrivit cu conceptia populara a predestinatiei, aceia pe care i-a ales Dumnezeu spre mantuire nu e posibil sa cada din harul divin deoarece dreptul lor le-a fost garantat de Dumnezeu. Printr-un rationament prin analogie aceia pe care Dumnezeu i-a predestinat sa fie osanditi nu pot ajunge la harul divin, si in consecinta nu pot cadea din el. Corolara la aceasta este concluzia ca aceia care par sa fi cazut din har numai par sa fi facut asa ceva, deoarece ei niciodata nu au ajuns la el. E suficient de a spune ca numai scotand cuvintele din Gal 5:4 cu totul afara din contextul lor e cu putinta de a le face sa para ca sustin o astfel de concluzie (vezi vers. 1-4). In realitate, teoria aceasta – teoria asa numita a decretelor divine – trece cu vederea toate afirmatiile lamurite din Scriptura care atrag atentia la vointa omului ca la factorul decisiv in mantuirea oricarui om si a tuturor oamenilor. Vezi pasaje de felul acesta ca Isa 55:1; Eze 18:21-30; 33:12.13; Luc 5:32; Ioan 6:37; cf. Ioan 7:37; 12:32; Rom 10:13; 11:20-23; 1Cor 9:27; Apoc 22:17. Doctrina ca Dumnezeu predestineaza pe unii oameni la mantuire si pe altii la nimicire, indiferent de alegerea lor, e clar incompatibila cu aceste afirmatii ale Sfintei Scripturi. In felul acesta invatatura corolara ca un om nu poate cadea din har – ca atunci cand odata e ,,in har” e ,,pentru totdeauna in har” se dovedeste a fi o inventie omeneasca. |

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).
