8:28 De alta parte, stim ca toate lucrurile lucreaza impreuna spre binele celor ce iubesc pe Dumnezeu, si anume, spre binele celor ce sunt chemati dupa planul Sau. De alta parte, stim. [,,Si stim”, KJV]. Pavel mai adauga acum un motiv pentru a privi cu incredere la viitor. E lucru cunoscut de noi ca, potrivit cu scopul vesnic al lui Dumnezeu, toate lucrurile lucreaza impreuna spre binele celor care-L iubesc. Chiar si necazurile si suferintele vietii acesteia departe de a impiedica mantuirea noastra, o poate ajuta sa inainteze. La fiecare pas, crestinul poate fi in mainile lui Dumnezeu si sa execute scopul lui Dumnezeu. Toate lucrurile. Evident Pavel intentiona ca lucrul acesta sa fie inteles in felul cel mai cuprinzator, pentru a cuprinde tot ce e mentionat in vers. 35, 38, 39. Dar s-ar putea ca el sa se refere in deosebi la ,,suferintele din vremea de acum” (vers. 18). Lucreaza impreuna. Dovezile textuale sunt impartite (cf. p. 10) intre exprimarea ,,toate lucrurile lucreaza impreuna spre binele” si ,,Dumnezeu lucreaza toate lucrurile spre bine”. Fie ca se introduce sau nu cuvantul ,,Dumnezeu”, aceasta e ideea lui Pavel. In orice caz, Dumnezeu e Cel care face ca toate lucrurile sa lucreze impreuna in viata noastra pentru binele final. Spre binele. Nimic nu poate sa atinga pe crestin decat cu permisiunea Domnului (vezi Iov 1,12; 2,6) si tot ce e ingaduit lucreaza impreuna spre binele celor care iubesc pe Dumnezeu. Daca Dumnezeu ingaduie sa vina asupra noastra suferinta si necaz, aceasta nu e pentru a ne distruge, ci a ne innobila si sfinti. (vezi Rom. 8,17). Tulburarile si dezamagirile acestei vieti ne desfac afectiunile de la lume si ne indeamna sa privim la cer ca salas al nostru. Ele ne invata despre adevarul starii noastre firave si muritoare si ne fac sa ne sprijinim pe Dumnezeu pentru sustinerea si mantuirea noastra. Ele produc de asemenea, in noi un duh mai smerit si supus, o dispozitie mai rabdatoare si mai gingasa. Aceasta a fost experienta poporului lui Dumnezeu in decursul istoriei, si la sfarsitul vietii lor ei au fost in stare sa spuna ca a fost bine pentru ei, ca au fost smeriti in felul acesta (vezi Ps. 119,67.71; cf. Evrei 12,11). La sfarsitul vietii sale Iosif a fost in stare sa spuna fratilor sai: ,,Voi ati avut cugete rele in contra mea, dar Dumnezeu le-a indreptat spre bine” (Gen. 50,20). Celor ce iubesc pe Dumnezeu. In versiunea greaca, expresia aceasta este pusa intr-o pozitie de accent. Cuvintele descriu pe adevaratii urmasi ai lui Dumnezeu, aceia care au adevarata credinta si care se incred in conducerea lui Dumnezeu. Iubirea lor pentru Dumnezeu e ca raspuns fata de iubirea lui Dumnezeu pentru ei si al lucrarii Lui divine in toate lucrurile pentru mantuirea lor. Iubirea lui Dumnezeu trebuie sa vina mai intai la un om si sa patrunda in inima lui ca numai apoi el sa se intoarca si sa poata iubi pe Dumnezeu (1 Ioan 4,19), dupa cum Duhul Sfant trebuie sa lumineze mai intai pe om daca el personal urmeaza sa se roage asa cum trebuie (Rom. 8,26). Pavel deja vorbise despre iubirea lui Dumnezeu fata de noi (cap. 5,5.8), si el o mentioneaza din nou in capitolul acesta (cap. 8,39). El de asemenea, vorbeste de cateva ori despre iubirea noastra fata de semenii nostri (cap. 12,9.10; 13,8.9). Dar aceasta este cea mai specifica referire in epistola aceasta la iubirea noastra fata de Dumnezeu. Credinta a fost adesea mentionata si nadejdea a fost subiectul versetelor precedente din acest capitol (vezi cap. 8,24.25). Acum Pavel adauga la lista mentionand iubirea fata de Dumnezeu. Natural, fiecare referire la credinta prin toata epistola cuprinde in sine si iubirea, deoarece credinta crestina e bazata pe iubire si admiratie fata de Dumnezeu si pentru tot ceea ce este El. Pentru aceia care au o astfel de iubire, Dumnezeu lucreaza pururi spre binele lor (vezi 1 Cor. 2,9; ef. 6,24; 2 Tim. 4,8; Iacov 1,12). Chemati. Contextul implica faptul ca chemarea a fost primita (vezi Rom. 1,6.7; 1 Cor. 1,2.24; Iuda 1; Apoc. 17,14). Crestinii sunt numiti ,,chemati” deoarece Dumnezeu prin Evanghelie i-a invitat sa fie mantuiti. Mantuirea nu e impusa unui pacatos lipsit de bunavointa, ci vine ca rezultat al liberei lui acceptari a unei invitatii. Impreuna cu chemarea, Dumnezeu trimite in inima influenta Duhului Sfant pentru a face chemarea efectiva. Aceia care ,,iubesc pe Dumnezeu” au in propria lor experienta dovada ca au fost chemati dupa planul Sau, deoarece chemarea a produs efectul intentionat (vezi Rom. 8,16). Planul. [,,Scopul”, KJV; ,,puneri la cale”, Nitz.]. Gr. prothesis, insemnand fundamental, o ,,propunere”, o expunere a ceva in vazul altora. In felul acesta, este aplicat la painea care era asezata pe masa punerii painilor inainte (Mat. 12,4; Marcu 2,26; Luca 6,4). In Rom. 3,25, verbul de la care e derivat termenul (prothemi) e folosit pentru a descrie actul lui Dumnezeu de al ,,pune inainte” pe Fiul Sau. Cand e aplicat la gandire termenul inseamna ,,un plan” sau un ,,scop”. E scopul vesnic al lui Dumnezeu (Ef. 3,11) de a mantui pe pacatosi prin har (2 Tim. 1,9). Si intrucat este hotararea Aceluia care face toate dupa sfatul voiei Sale (Ef. 1,11) urmeaza ca ,,toate lucrurile” trebuie sa ,,lucreze impreuna spre binele” celor ,,chemati” dupa hotararea [scopul] acestora. Pavel recunoaste pe deplin libertatea voiei omului. Marele rol pe care chemarea il joaca in epistolele lui e o clara dovada pentru aceasta. Dar inapoia tuturor acestora, el vede pururi suveranitatea si scopul lui Dumnezeu. Si nu e contradictie in aceasta, deoarece scopul lui Dumnezeu de a salva pe om este realizat prin buna folosire a libertatii omului. |

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).
