Printable ModeIoan 1:17
|
1:17 caci Legea a fost data prin Moise, dar harul si adevarul au venit prin Isus Hristos. Legea. Adica, sistemul religiei revelate sub care au trait iudeii in timpurile VT, randuit de Dumnezeu dar pervertit treptat de traditia omeneasca (vezi la Marcu 7,9-13). In zilele lui Hristos termenul ,,lege” cuprindea nu numai Decalogul, dar si tot ce scrisesera Moise si prorocii (Luca 24,27, 44) – asa cum erau interpretate de rabini. In si prin ea, asa cum fusese data la origine de Dumnezeu, ,,legea” era buna (cf. Romani 3,1.2). Ea era menita sa conduca pe oameni la mantuire prin credinta in Mesia ce avea sa vina (Ioan 5,39.45-47; Luca 24,25-27.44). Faptul ca ,,unii n-au crezut” (Romani 3,3), ci au cautat mantuirea ,,prin faptele legii” (cap. 9,32) si nu prin credinta si drept urmare nu au izbutit sa intre in odihna spirituala pe care Dumnezeu o intentiona pentru ei (Evrei 3,18.19; 4,2), nu inseamna ca sistemul insusi asa cum era randuit de Dumnezeu era defectuos. Tot ce face Dumnezeu este ,,desavarsit” (Deuteronom 32,4). Au fost multi in timpurile VT care ,,au fost laudati pentru credinta lor” (Evrei 11,39). De fapt, niciodata n-a fost o alta cale de a fi ,,laudati” decat ,,prin credinta”. Pentru felul in care traditia omeneasca a pervertit planul mantuirii prin accentuarea formelor religiei si nu obiectivele ei spirituale si morale vezi la Marcu 7,1-13. Pentru expunerea de catre Hristos a adevaratului spirit al legii asa cum este aplicat la problemele vietii zilnice vezi la Matei 5,17-22. Pentru o discutie a cuvantului ,,lege” insusi vezi la Galateni 3,24. Cu privire la mijloacele de mantuire in timpurile VT vezi la Ezechiel 16,60. Prin Moise. Literal, ,,prin Moise”. ,,Legea” nu si-a avut originea in Moise, ci in Dumnezeu. Moise a fost numai agentul prin care voia revelata a lui Dumnezeu a fost transmisa oamenilor (vezi Deuteronom 5,22 la 6,1; Evrei 1,1). Dar. Cuvantul acesta a fost adaugat de traducatori. El lasa sa se inteleaga un contrast mai puternic intre ,,lege” si ,,har” decat pare ca intentiona Ioan. Ioan nu vrea sa spuna ca sistemul facut cunoscut prin Moise era rau, in comparatie cu acela facut acum cunoscut prin Hristos, ci ca oricat de bun era sistemul lui Moise, acela a lui Hristos este si mai bun (vezi Evrei 7,22; 8,6; 9,23; 10,34). Harul si adevarul. Vezi la v. 14, 16. Aceste atribute divine erau inerente in sistemul religiei revelate din timpurile VT (vezi Exod 34,6.7), dar in practica, fusesera pierdute sub un strat gros de traditie omeneasca. Contrastul dintre ,,lege” si ,,har” nu este atat de mult un contrast intre sistemul religiei din timpurile VT, care privea inainte catre un Mesia care avea sa vina si acela facut cunoscut de Hristos (cf. Evrei 1,1.2), cat intre interpretarea pervertita data harului si adevarului revelat al lui Dumnezeu de catre exponentii oficiali ai legii, rabinii (cf. Romani 6,14.15; Galateni 5,4) si adevarul asa cum este revelat prin Isus Hristos. Afirmand ca ,,adevarul” vine prin Hristos, Ioan Il identifica pe El ca fiind realitatea catre care aratau toate simbolurile si ceremoniile VT, care nu erau mai mult decat o umbra a lucrurilor viitoare mai bune. Tipul s-a intalnit cu antitipul in Hristos (Coloseni 2,16.17). Ioan nu lasa sa se inteleaga in nici un sens ca sistemul VT era fals sau eronat. Prin Isus Hristos. Hristos era Acela care vorbise prin Moise si profeti (1 Petru 2,9.10; PP 366). Acum El S-a aratat in persoana pentru a reafirma marile adevaruri vesnice facute cunoscut acestor barbati sfinti din vechime si pentru a le readuce la stralucirea lor originara, neintunecate de traditia omeneasca (vezi la Matei 5,17-19). El a venit sa Il faca cunoscut pe Tatal in adevaratul Lui caracter (cf. Exod 34,6.7), sa determine pe oameni sa practice dreptatea si mila si sa umble smeriti inaintea lui Dumnezeu (Mica 6,6-8). Acela care ,,a vorbit in vechime parintilor nostri prin proroci, in multe feluri si in multe chipuri”, a vorbit acum prin Fiul Sau (Evrei 1,1.2). Aici, pentru prima data, Ioan se refera la Domnul folosind numele istoric, Isus Hristos (vezi la Matei 1,1). ,,Cuvantul” vesnic a ajuns sa fie intrupat, om intre oameni si, de aici inainte, Ioan vorbeste despre El ca atare. |

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).
