4:1 DEGRADAREA FIZICA A RASEI UMANE 4:2 Cartea Genezei da destul de multe relatari clare referitoare la viata sociala si individuala si totusi nu exista nici un raport despre vreun copil care s-ar fi nascut orb, surd, olog, cu malformatii sau debil mintal. Nu exista nici o relatare a vreunei morti naturale care sa fi survenit in pruncie, copilarie sau tinerete. Nu se relateaza despre barbati sau femei care sa fi murit din cauza vreunei boli. Necrologurile care sunt date in cartea Genezei suna astfel: "Toate zilele pe care le-a trait Adam au fost de 930 de ani; apoi a murit." "Toate zilele lui Set au fost de 912 ani; apoi a murit" (Geneza 5, 5.8). Iar despre altii, raportul consemneaza: a trait mult, pana la o varsta inaintata; apoi a murit. Se intampla foarte rar ca fiul sa moara inaintea tatalui, astfel ca, atunci cand aveau loc asemenea evenimente, ele erau considerate vrednice de a fi consemnate: "Si Haran a murit inaintea tatalui sau Ierah". Haran avusese si el copii inainte de a muri. 4:3 Dumnezeu l-a inzestrat pe om cu o forta vitala atat de mare, incat acesta a putut rezista bolilor acumulate asupra neamului omenesc, ca urmare a obiceiurilor lui pervertite, si a continuat sa existe timp de sase mii de ani. Acest lucru, prin sine insusi, este suficient pentru a 4:4 constitui pentru noi dovada puterii si fortei de viata date de Dumnezeu omului la creatiune. A fost nevoie de mai mult de doua mii de ani de nelegiuire si ingaduire a patimilor josnice pentru ca bolile trupesti sa ajunga sa afecteze rasa omeneasca intr-o masura care sa fie resimtita. Daca la creatiune Adam nu ar fi fost inzestrat cu de douazeci de ori mai multa forta decat are omul acum, rasa omeneasca, cu obiceiurile pe care le are, prin care incalca legile naturale, ar fi disparut. In vremea cand Domnul Hristos a fost pe acest pamant, neamul omenesc degenerase atat de mult, incat generatia de atunci era apasata de o acumulare de boala, ceea ce a produs un val intreg de dureri si necazuri si o stare de nenorocire care nu poate fi descrisa. 4:5 Mi-a fost prezentata starea nenorocita a lumii de acum. De la caderea lui Adam, neamul omenesc s-a degradat continuu. Mi-au fost aratate cateva din motivele pentru care oamenii, creati dupa chipul lui Dumnezeu, se afla intr-o stare atat de deplorabila. Iar cand mi-am dat seama cat de mult trebuie facut pentru a opri, chiar si intr-o anumita masura, decaderea fizica, mintala si morala, am simtit rau de la inima si m-am ingrozit. Dumnezeu nu a creat rasa umana in starea de slabiciune in care se afla in prezent. Aceasta stare de lucruri nu este lucrarea Providentei, ci a omului, a fost produsa prin obiceiuri gresite si abuzuri, prin violarea legilor pe care Dumnezeu le-a facut pentru a conduce viata omului. Prin ispita ingaduirii poftei, Adam si Eva au fost cei dintai care au cazut din starea inalta, sfanta si fericita. Si datorita aceleiasi ispite, rasa omeneasca a devenit slaba. Ei au ingaduit poftei si pasiunii sa troneze si sa supuna ratiunea si intelectul. 4:6 Calcarea legii fizice si urmarea acesteia, suferinta omeneasca, au durat atat de mult, incat oamenii privesc asupra situatiei din prezent, cu boala, suferinta, debilitate si moarte prematura, ca si cand aceasta ar fi soarta randuita pentru omenire. Omul a iesit din mana Creatorului Sau desavarsit si frumos la chip si plin de atata forta vitala, incat a fost nevoie de mai mult de o mie de ani ca neamul omenesc sa simta urmarile poftelor si patimilor corupte si, in general, 4:7 ale calcarii legilor fizice. Generatiile mai recente au simtit apasarea neputintei si a bolii mult mai repede si mult mai greu cu fiecare generatie. Fortele vitale au fost mult slabite prin ingaduirea poftei si a patimilor josnice. 4:8 Patriarhii, de la Adam pana la Noe, cu doar cateva exceptii, au trait aproape o mie de ani. Din zilele lui Noe, durata vietii a scazut treptat. Cei suferinzi erau adusi la Hristos din toate cetatile, orasele si satele pentru a fi vindecati de El; caci ei erau chinuiti de tot felul de boli. De la data aceea, boala a fost in mod constant in crestere, de-a lungul generatiilor care au urmat. Datorita incalcarii continue a legilor vietii, mortalitatea a crescut intr-un mod infricosator. Anii omului s-au scurtat, astfel incat generatia din prezent trece in mormant chiar inainte de varsta la care cei din generatiile care au trait in primele mii de ani dupa creatiune ajungeau la stadiul de a fi apti pentru munca. 4:9 Boala s-a transmis din generatie in generatie, de la parinti la copii. Pruncii din leagan sunt teribil de afectati datorita pacatelor parintilor lor, care le-au diminuat forta vitala. Obiceiurile lor gresite de alimentatie si destrabalarea lor generala sunt transmise ca o mostenire copiilor lor. Multi se nasc alienati mintal, cu malformatii, orbi sau surzi si foarte multi au deficiente in privinta intelectului. Este uluitoare absenta stranie a principiului in aceasta generatie, care se manifesta prin desconsiderarea legilor vietii si sanatatii. Nestiinta predomina in legatura cu acest subiect, in timp ce lumina straluceste pretutindeni in jurul lor. Pentru majoritatea, grija principala este: ce voi manca, ce voi bea si cu ce ma voi imbraca. Netinand seama de tot ce se spune si este scris in legatura cu felul in care ar trebui sa ne tratam corpurile, pofta constituie legea cea mare care ii conduce in general pe oameni. 4:10 Puterile morale sunt slabite, pentru ca barbatii si femeile 4:11 nu vor sa traiasca in ascultare fata de legile sanatatii si sa faca din acest subiect atat de important o datorie personala. Parintii le lasa ca mostenire odraslelor obiceiurile lor pervertite si boli dezgustatoare, care afecteaza sangele si slabesc creierul. Majoritatea barbatilor si femeilor raman ignoranti in privinta legilor fiintei lor si ingaduie pofta si pasiunea in detrimentul intelectului si moralitatii si se pare ca doresc sa ramana in necunostinta in ceea ce priveste urmarile incalcarii de catre ei a legilor naturale. Ei isi permit sa perverteasca apetitul prin folosirea unor otravuri lente, care viciaza sangele si submineaza fortele ce stapanesc nervii, aducand, prin urmare, asupra lor insisi boala si moartea. Prietenii lor spun ca urmarile acestui mod de viata reprezinta hotararea Providentei. Prin aceasta ei insulta cerul. Ei s-au razvratit impotriva legilor naturii si au suferit pedeapsa pentru ca au abuzat in acest fel de legile ei. Suferinta si moartea predomina acum pretutindeni, in special in randul copiilor. Cat de mare este contrastul dintre aceasta generatie si cele care au trait in timpul primilor doua mii de ani! |

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).
