75:1 CUNOASTEREA FUNDAMENTALA 75:2 "Lumina cunoasterii slavei lui Dumnezeu" 75:3 O adevarata cunoastere a lui Dumnezeu 75:4 Toate lucrurile ne sunt date prin cunoasterea Lui. 75:5 Asemenea Mantuitorului nostru, ne aflam in aceasta lume pentru a face lucrare pentru Dumnezeu. Suntem aici pentru a deveni ca Dumnezeu in caracter si, printr-o viata de slujire, sa-L descoperim lumii. Pentru a fi impreuna lucratori cu Dumnezeu, pentru a deveni ca El si a descoperi caracterul Sau, trebuie sa-L cunoastem asa cum este in realitate. Trebuie sa-L cunoastem asa cum Se descopera El Insusi. 75:6 O cunoastere a lui Dumnezeu este temelia oricarei educatii adevarate, oricarei slujiri adevarate. Aceasta este singura aparare reala impotriva ispitei. Numai ea ne poate face asemenea lui Dumnezeu in caracter. 75:7 Aceasta este cunoasterea de care au nevoie toti aceia care lucreaza pentru ridicarea semenilor lor. Transformarea caracterului, puritatea vietii, eficienta slujirii, imbratisarea principiilor corecte, toate depind de o cunoastere exacta a lui Dumnezeu. Aceasta cunoastere este pregatirea esentiala atat pentru viata aceasta, cat si pentru viata viitoare. 75:8 "Stiinta sfintilor este priceperea." (Prov. 9,10) 75:9 "Tot ce priveste viata si evlavia" (2 Petru 1,3) ne sunt date printr-o cunoastere a Sa. 75:10 "Si viata vesnica este aceasta", a spus Isus, "sa Te cunoasca pe Tine, singurul Dumnezeu adevarat, si pe Isus Hristos, pe care L-ai trimis Tu" (Ioan 17,3). 75:11 Asa vorbeste Domnul: "Inteleptul sa nu se laude cu intelepciunea lui, cel tare sa nu se laude cu taria lui, bogatul sa nu se laude cu bogatia lui. Ci, cel ce se lauda, sa se laude ca are pricepere si ca Ma cunoaste, ca stie ca Eu sunt Domnul, care fac mila, judecata si dreptate pe pamant! Caci in acestea gasesc placere Eu", zice Domnul. (Ieremia 9.23-34) 75:12 Avem nevoie sa studiem descoperirile despre Dumnezeu pe care El Insusi le-a dat. 75:13 Imprieteneste-te acum cu Dumnezeu si fii in pace: In felul acesta fericirea va veni la tine. Primeste Legea [Conform originalului si variantei King James, (dupa cum s-a mai spus, in variantele romanesti gasim de obicei "invatatura" in loc de "lege" - n.tr.). ] din gura Lui, te rog, si pune-ti in inima cuvintele Lui. (...) Si atunci Cel Atotputernic va fi bogatia ta; caci atunci Cel Atotputernic va fi desfatarea ta, si iti vei ridica fata spre Dumnezeu. Il vei ruga si El te va asculta, si iti vei implini promisiunile. Vei hotari un lucru si iti va reusi, pe cararile tale va straluci lumina. Cand aceste cai vor fi smerite, atunci vei spune: Ridica-te! Si pe cel cu ochii plecati, El il va mantui. (Iov 22, 21-29) 75:14 "Insusirile nevazute ale Lui, puterea Lui vesnica si divinitatea Lui se vad lamurit, de la crearea lumii, fiind intelese de minte prin lucrurile facute de El" (Rom. 1,20). 75:15 Lucrurile din natura pe care le privim acum nu ne dau decat o idee vaga despre slava Edenului. Pacatul a intunecat frumusetea pamantului; asupra tuturor lucrurilor se pot vedea urmele lucrarii raului. Si totusi, mult din ceea ce este frumos ramane. Natura da marturie ca Cineva infinit in putere, mare in bunatate, indurare si dragoste a creat pamantul si l-a umplut cu viata si bucurie. Chiar si in starea lor degenerata, toate lucrurile dezvaluie atingerea marelui Maestru. Ori incotro ne-am intoarce, putem auzi glasul lui Dumnezeu si vedea dovezile bunatatii Sale. 75:16 De la pravalirea solemna, cu tonalitati grave, a tunetului si urletul neincetat al batranului ocean pana la ciripitul vesel care umple padurile de cantec, zecile de mii de voci ale naturii inalta lauda Sa. Pe pamant, in mare si in cer, cu coloritul si nuantele lor minunate - fie aflandu-se intr-un contrast superb, fie topindu-se armonios unele intr-altele -, privim slava Sa. Muntii cei vesnici ne spun despre puterea Sa. Copacii care isi flutura verzile lor stindarde in lumina soarelui si florile cu frumusetea lor delicata arata catre Creatorul lor. Verdele viu care acopera ca un covor pamantul brun vorbeste despre grija lui Dumnezeu pentru cele mai umile creaturi ale Sale. Pesterile submarine 75:17 si adancimile pamantului descopera comorile Sale. El, care a pus perlele in ocean si ametistul si hrizolitul printre stanci, este un iubitor de frumos. Soarele care se inalta pe cer este o reprezentare a Celui care este viata si lumina a tot ceea ce a creat. Toata stralucirea si frumusetea care impodobesc pamantul si lumineaza cerurile vorbesc despre Dumnezeu. 75:18 Maretia Lui acopera cerurile si slava Lui umple pamantul. (Hab. 3,3) 75:19 Pamantul este plin de fapturile Tale. (Ps. 104, 24) 75:20 O zi istoriseste alteia acest lucru, o noapte il face cunoscut altei nopti, fara grai, fara cuvinte; totusi glasul lor este auzit. Rasunetul lor strabate tot pamantul si glasul lor pana la marginile lumii. (Ps. 19, 2-4) 75:21 Toate lucrurile vorbesc despre grija Sa gingasa de Parinte si despre dorinta Sa de a-i face pe copiii Lui fericiti. 75:22 Puterea coplesitoare care lucreaza in toata natura si sustine toate lucrurile nu este, cum sustin unii oameni de stiinta, doar un principiu raspandit pretutindeni, o energie motrice. Dumnezeu este Duh; asa fiind, El este o Persoana - caci asa S-a descoperit pe Sine: 75:23 Dar Domnul este Dumnezeu cu adevarat, El este un Dumnezeu viu si un Imparat vesnic (...) Dumnezeii, care n-au facut nici cerurile, nici pamantul, vor pieri de pe pamant si de sub ceruri. Dar Cel ce este partea lui Iacov nu este ca ei; caci El a intocmit totul. El a facut pamantul prin puterea Lui, a intemeiat lumea prin intelepciunea Lui, a intins cerurile prin priceperea Lui. (Ier. 10, 10-11.16.12) |

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).
