2:3 cum vom scapa noi, daca stam nepasatori fata de o mantuire asa de mare, care, dupa ce a fost vestita intai de Domnul, ne-a fost adeverita de cei ce au auzit-o, Cum vom scapa noi. Aceasta intrebare retorica cere raspunsul ,,nu vom scapa”. In versiunea greaca folosirea accentuata a pronumelui ,,noi” are rolul de a-i pune in contrast pe cei de azi cu cei care, in timpurile Vechiului Testament, calcau legea mozaica (v. 2). Ei neglijasera ,,Cuvantul vestit prin ingeri”, iar cei la care se face referire prin pronumele ,,noi” sunt in primejdie sa neglijeze cuvantul rostit de Hristos. Nepasatori. [,,Neglija”, KJV]. Gr. ameleo, ,,a fi nepasator fata de”, ,,a nu avea grija de”, ,,a neglija”. Multi din crestinii evrei se agatau de vechiul sistem iudaic si erau inclinati sa dispretuiasca Evanghelia. Scopul acestei epistole era sa arate ca vechiul sistem ajunsese la sfarsit si ca mantuirea putea fi gasita numai prin Hristos si Evanghelia Sa. Avertizarea este valabila in orice epoca. Nu exista scapare pentru aceia care sunt nepasatori fata de apelurile Evangheliei. Poate ca aceasta nu inseamna o lepadare pe fata a lui Hristos, ci doar o amanare si o neglijenta. O asemenea atitudine este extrem de primejdioasa si daca omul persista in ea, va avea parte de moartea vesnica. O mantuire asa de mare. Este mare pentru ca Dumnezeu este autorul ei. Este mare datorita pretului ei, viata Fiului lui Dumnezeu. Este mare prin ceea ce realizeaza: reinnoirea trupului, a sufletului si a spiritului, si inaltarea omenirii sus in cer. Vestita intai de Domnul. In contrast cu ceea ce a fost ,,vestit prin ingeri” (v. 2). ,,Dumnezeu, la sfarsitul acestor zile, ne-a vorbit prin Fiul” (cap. 1:1, 2). Este vorba despre solia proclamata de Hristos in timpul lucrarii Sale pe pamant. In ce priveste semnificatia titlului ,,Domn”, cand e aplicat la Hristos, vezi Ioan 13:13; 20:28. Ne-. [,,Noua”]. Aici autorul se asaza in aceeasi categorie cu aceia carora Evanghelia le fusese vestita [,,confirmata”] de catre cei care o auzisera direct de la Isus. Aceasta marturisire exclude posibilitatea ca unul din cei doisprezece apostoli sa fie autorul Epistolei catre Evrei. Multi sustin ca il aceasta exclude si pe Pavel, deoarece el se lauda ca nu a primit Evanghelia de la vreun om, ci prin descoperirea lui Isus Hristos (Galateni 1:12). Totusi argumentul pronumelui ,,ne-” nu este destul de concludent, deoarece se poate ca autorul sa fi facut o afirmatie generala. In plus, au fost fara indoiala multe lucruri care i-au fost confirmate lui Pavel de catre martori oculari ai vietii lui Hristos. Bineinteles ca taina Evangheliei a primit-o direct de la Domnul Isus. Problema autorului trebuie sa fie solutionata pe temeiul altor considerente (vezi Introducerea la aceasta epistola, si anume paternitatea). Adeverita. [,,Confirmata”, KJV]. Gr. bebaioo, ,,a statornici”, ,,a confirma”. Evanghelia nu le-a fost doar vestita, ea a fost proclamata cu putere convingatoare. |

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).
