43:1 Cap. 41 - Unele principii ale imbracamintii sanatoase 43:2 Biblia ne invata modestia in imbracaminte. "Vreau, de asemenea, ca femeile sa se roage imbracate in chip cuviincios" (1 Tim. 2,9). Asa ceva exclude podoaba in imbracaminte, stridenta culorilor, abundenta ornamentelor. Orice incercare de a atrage atentia catre cel care le poarta sau de a starni admiratia nu corespunde modestiei recomandate de Cuvantul lui Dumnezeu. 43:3 Imbracamintea noastra nu trebuie sa fie scumpa - fara aur, fara margaritare, fara haine scumpe. Banii sunt un credit de la Dumnezeu. N-avem dreptul sa-i cheltuim pentru satisfacerea mandriei sau a ambitiei. In mana copiilor lui Dumnezeu, banii inseamna hrana pentru cei flamanzi si haine pentru cei goi, aparare pentru cei oropsiti, posibilitate de insanatosire pentru cei bolnavi, mijloace de predicare a Evangheliei catre cei saraci. Folosind in mod intelept banii cheltuiti acum pentru etalare, puteti aduce fericire multor suflete. Priviti viata lui Hristos. Cercetati-I caracterul si fiti partasi cu El in renuntarea la sine. 43:4 In lumea crestinilor declarati se cheltuie pentru podoabe si haine scumpe, inutile, atat cat sa poata fi hraniti cei flamanzi si imbracati toti cei goi. Moda si etalarea inghit mijloacele care ar putea aduce mangaiere celor saraci si suferinzi. Ele jefuiesc lumea de Evanghelia si dragostea Mantuitorului... 43:5 Dar imbracamintea noastra, desi modesta si simpla, trebuie sa fie de buna calitate, in culori potrivite si adecvata slujirii. Ea trebuie astfel aleasa, incat sa fie mai degraba durabila, decat pentru atractivitate. 43:6 Imbracamintea trebuie sa asigure caldura si o protectie corespunzatoare. 43:7 Imbracamintea noastra trebuie sa fie curata. Lipsa de curatenie a hainelor este nesanatoasa si dauneaza trupului si sufletului. "Voi sunteti Templul lui Dumnezeu Daca nimiceste cineva Templul lui Dumnezeu, pe acela il va nimici Dumnezeu." (1 Cor. 3,16.17). 43:8 In toate privintele, imbracamintea trebuie sa fie sanatoasa. Mai presus de toate, Dumnezeu doreste ca noi sa fim sanatosi la trup si suflet. Iar noi trebuie sa lucram impreuna cu El atat pentru sanatatea sufletului, cat si a trupului. Ambele sunt favorizate de o imbracaminte sanatoasa. Imbracamintea trebuie sa aiba gratia, frumusetea si caracterul adecvat simplitatii naturale. 43:9 Hristos ne-a avertizat impotriva mandriei, nu impotriva gratiei si frumusetii naturale. El a aratat spre florile de pe camp, spre crinul care se deschide in puritate si a spus: "Nici Solomon, in toata slava lui nu s-a imbracat ca unul dintre ei" (Mat. 6,29). Astfel, prin lucruri din natura, Hristos ilustreaza frumusetea pe care pune pret cerul: gratia modestiei, simplitatea, puritatea, calitatea vor face imbracamintea noastra placuta Lui. Cea mai frumoasa imbracaminte ne-o recomanda Isus pentru suflet. Nici o podoaba exterioara nu se poate compara cu podoaba "unui duh bland si linistit", care "este de mare pret inaintea lui Dumnezeu" (1 Petru 3,4). 43:10 Efectele fizice ale imbracamintii necorespunzatoare 43:11 Vrajmasul a tot ceea ce este bun inspira mereu modele schimbatoare. El nu doreste nimic 43:12 mai mult decat sa-I aduca mahnire si dezonoare lui Dumnezeu, lucrand la mizeria si ruina fiintelor omenesti. Unul dintre mijloacele prin care el realizeaza cel mai eficient acest lucru il constituie moda. Ea afecteaza trupul si, in aceeasi masura, slabeste mintea si moralul. 43:13 Femeile sunt predispuse unor boli grave, iar suferintele lor sunt substantial sporite prin felul de a se imbraca. In loc sa-si menajeze sanatatea pentru incercarile ce sigur vor aparea, prea adeseori, prin obiceiuri gresite, ele isi sacrifica nu doar sanatatea, ci chiar viata, lasand copiilor lor drept mostenire o constitutie ruinata, obiceiuri rele si idei gresite despre viata. 43:14 Una dintre cele mai pagubitoare si vatamatoare nascociri ale modei este fusta care atinge pamantul. Se murdareste, nu este confortabila, nu este sanatoasa - toate acestea si inca altele sunt adevaruri despre fusta-trena. Oricine a vazut o femeie cu fusta lunga, chinuindu-se sa o tina cu mainile cand urca sau coboara pe scari, sau cand se urca in masina, cand merge prin multime sau prin ploaie, pe un drum noroios, nu mai are nevoie de o alta dovada a inconvenientei si disconfortului acestei imbracaminti. 43:15 Un alt rau considerabil este acela al purtarii fustelor, astfel incat greutatea lor sa fie sustinuta de solduri. Aceasta greutate preseaza organele interne, le trage in jos si produce neajunsuri stomacului si un simtamant de istovire, care determina o pozitie aplecata, care, mai departe, dauneaza plamanilor, facand mult mai dificila o respiratie corecta. 43:16 In ultima vreme, s-a discutat atat de mult despre pericolele ce rezulta din strangerea taliei, incat putini sunt cei ignoranti in aceasta privinta, insa, atat de mare este puterea modei, incat acest rau persista. Prin strangerea taliei, femeile si fetele isi fac un rau inimaginabil. Este esential pentru sanatate ca toracele sa aiba unde sa se extinda la maximum, pentru ca plamanii sa poata inspira total. Atunci cand plamanii sunt ingramaditi, cantitatea de oxigen primita de ei este mai mica. Sangele nu este asa cum trebuie vitalizat, iar ceea ce este in plus si otravitor, trebuind sa fie dat afara din plamani, este retinut. In plus, circulatia sangelui este impiedicata si organele interne sunt atat de presate, incat nu-si pot face cum trebuie lucrarea. 43:17 Strangerea taliei nu infrumuseteaza aspectul. Unul dintre cele mai importante elementele ale frumusetii fizice este simetria, armonia proportiilor. Iar modelul corect pentru aspectul fizic trebuie gasit nu in reclamele de moda din Franta, ci in corpul uman, dezvoltat potrivit cu legile lui Dumnezeu, din natura. Dumnezeu este autorul frumusetii si, numai conformandu-ne idealului Sau, putem atinge standardul adevaratei frumuseti. 43:18 Un alt rau al modei este distributia inegala a vesmintelor, astfel incat, in vreme ce unele parti ale trupului sunt imbracate mai mult decat este necesar, altele sunt insuficient invelite. Aflandu-se mai distantate de organele vitale, bratele si picioarele ar trebui sa fie in mod deosebit pazite de frig, printr-o imbracare mai substantiala. Este imposibil sa fii sanatos atunci cand, de regula, extremitatile sunt reci, pentru ca, daca in ele se afla prea putin sange, in alte parti ale corpului 43:19 va fi prea mult. Sanatatea perfecta reclama o circulatie perfecta. Dar asa ceva nu poate exista atunci cand trunchiul (unde se afla organele vitale) este de 3-4 ori mai imbracat decat picioarele si mainile. 43:20 O multime de femei sunt nervoase si ingrijorate din cauza ca se priveaza singure de aerul curat, care le-ar putea purifica sangele, si de libertatea de miscare, ce le-ar facilita circulatia sangelui prin vene, aducand viata, sanatate si energie. Multe femei au devenit invalide, desi ar fi putut sa se bucure de sanatate; au murit de tuberculoza si de alte boli, desi ar fi putut sa-si traiasca zilele pana la capat, daca s-ar fi imbracat potrivit principiilor sanatatii si ar fi facut miscare in aer liber. 43:21 Pentru a le sigura cea mai sanatoasa imbracaminte, trebuie cercetate cu atentie nevoile oricaror parti ale organismului. Caracterul climei, imprejurarile, starea sanatatii, varsta si ocupatia, toate acestea trebuie luate in considerare. Orice articol de imbracaminte trebuie sa fie lejer, pentru a nu perturba nici circulatia sangelui, nici respiratia libera, deplina si naturala. Tot ceea ce se imbraca trebuie sa fie atat de lejer, incat, la ridicarea bratelor, si haina sa se ridice corespunzator. 43:22 Femeile cu probleme de sanatate pot face mult pentru ele insele, purtand o imbracaminte usoara si facand exercitii fizice. Imbracate corespunzator, ele trebuie sa faca miscare in aer liber, mai intai cu grija, sporind apoi numarul exercitiilor atat cat rezista. Prin aceasta, multe femei si-ar putea redobandi sanatatea si ar mai putea trai pentru a-si face partea in lucrarea mondiala. (Ministry of Healing, pg. 287-294). |

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).
