8:44 Voi aveti de tata pe diavolul; si vreti sa impliniti poftele tatalui vostru. El de la inceput a fost ucigas; si nu sta in adevar, pentru ca in el nu este adevar. Ori de cate ori spune o minciuna, vorbeste din ale lui, caci este mincinos si tatal minciunii. Diavolul. Literal, ,,barfitorul” (vezi la Matei 4,1). Poftele. Gr. epithumiai, ,,dorintele”, bune (Luca 22,15; Filipeni 1,23), sau, mai adesea, rele (Romani 1,24; 6,12; 7,7.8; etc.). Inrudit cu epithumia este verbul epithumeo, cuvantul redat ,,poftesti” in porunca a zecea asa cum este citata de Pavel in Romani 7,7; 13,9. ,,Poftele tatalui vostru” sunt dorintele rele care il caracterizeaza sau dorintele pe care el le insufla celor care fac voia lui. Vreti sa impliniti. Literal, ,,doriti sa faceti” sau ,,doriti sa practicati”. De la inceput. Aceasta a fost adesea considerata o aluzie la cel dintai omor relatat, acela al lui Abel (Geneza 4,1-8). Dar spiritul uciderii se gaseste in trecut, la inceputul pacatului. Prin rebeliunea lui, Lucifer a atras sentinta mortii asupra sa si asupra ingerilor care s-au unit cu el in revolta lui (2 Petru 2,4). Cand a manat pe primii nostri parinti la pacat, el a adus moartea asupra lor si asupra intregii familii omenesti (Romani 5,12). Dorinta lor de a-L omori pe Isus era dovada stransei afinitati a iudeilor cu arhiomoratorul. Nu sta. O referire la caderea originara a lui Lucifer (Iuda 6; 2 Petru 2,4; vezi la Isaia 14,12-14; Ezechiel 28,12-14). In adevar. Pentru o definitie a adevarului vezi la v. 32. Nu este adevar. Adica, sinceritate. Adevarul si Satana nu au nimic de-a face unul cu altul. Din ale lui. Literal, ,,din [lucrurile] sale”, adica din cele esentiale ale sale. Este natura lui de a minti. Pe de alta parte, Isus nu vorbea de la Sine, ci vorbea adevarul pe care-l auzise de la Tatal (v. 38). Este mincinos. [,,Este un mincinos”, KJV]. Viata lui de minciuna a inceput in cer, unde de prima data a interpretat rau caracterul si scopurile lui Dumnezeu inaintea ingerilor. Prin insinuarile si minciunile sale din Gradina Edenului el a adus caderea primilor nostri parinti (vezi la Geneza 3,4). Talmudul (Sanhedrin 89b, ed. Soncino, p. 596) contine legenda ca inainte de sacrificarea lui Isaac, Satana a incercat sa insufle indoieli in mintea lui Avraam cu privire la Dumnezeu si ca Avraam l-a respins cu cuvintele, ,,Este pedeapsa unui mincinos, ca chiar daca ar spune adevarul, sa nu se asculte la el”. Tatal minciunii. [,,Tatal ei”, KJV]. Potrivit cu textul grec expresia aceasta inseamna fie tatal mincinosului, fie tatal minciunii. Fiecare desemneaza corect pe marele incepator al minciunii. Ca mincinos, Satana a fost indepartat din cer si niciodata nu va mai recastiga domiciliul acolo. Si nici copiii lui, deoarece ,,afara sunt cainii, vrajitorii, curvarii, ucigasii, inchinatorii la idoli si oricine iubeste minciuna si traieste in minciuna” (Apocalipsa 22,15). |

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).
