16:1 Declinul fizic al neamului omenesc 16:2 Cartea Genezei ne da un raport foarte precis despre viata sociala si individuala; cu toate acestea, nu avem mentionat cazul vreunui copil nascut orb, surd, olog, diform sau debil mintal. Nu exista nici o situatie in acest raport care sa faca referire la o moarte naturala survenita din pruncie, copilarie sau in prima parte a barbatiei. Nu exista nici un raport despre barbati sau femei care au murit de boala. In cartea Genezei, anunturile mortuare suna astfel: "Toate zilele pe care le-a trait Adam au fost de noua sute treizeci de ani; apoi a murit." "Toate zilele lui Set au fost de noua sute doisprezece ani; apoi a murit." Despre altii, raportul declara: A trait pana la o batranete fericita; apoi a murit. Era atat de rar ca fiul sa moara inaintea tatalui, incat faptul acesta era considerat vrednic de a fi amintit: "Si Haran a murit in fata tatalui sau Terah" . Haran a devenit tata inaintea mortii sale. 16:3 Dumnezeu l-a inzestrat pe om cu o forta vitala atat de mare, incat acesta a facut fata inmultirii bolilor neamului omenesc, consecinta a obiceiurilor stricate, si a continuat sa reziste timp de sase mii de ani. Acest fapt in sine este de ajuns pentru a ne dovedi taria si energia pe care le-a dat Dumnezeu omului la crearea lui. A fost nevoie de mai mult de doua mii de ani de crime si ingaduirea pasiunilor josnice pentru a aduce bolile, intr-o masura ceva mai mare, asupra neamului omenesc. Daca Adam, la crearea sa, nu ar fi fost inzestrat cu de douazeci de ori mai multa forta vitala decat au oamenii 16:4 astazi, rasa umana, cu obiceiurile actuale de a trai, incalcand legile naturale, s-ar fi stins de pe pamant. In perioada primei veniri a Domnului Hristos, neamul omenesc degenerase atat de rapid, incat bolile acumulate pana atunci apasau asupra generatiei aceleia, aducand un val de suferinta si greutatea unei nenorociri de nespus. 16:5 Mi s-a pus inainte starea jalnica a lumii in prezent. De la caderea lui Adam, neamul omenesc a degenerat continuu. Mi-au fost aratate unele din motivele conditiei deplorabile de astazi a barbatilor si femeilor formati dupa chipul lui Dumnezeu. Iar simtamantul ca trebuie facut mult pentru a opri, macar intr-o mica masura, stricaciunea fizica, mintala si morala, mi-a umplut inima de durere si deznadejde. Dumnezeu nu a creat rasa omeneasca in starea de slabiciune in care se afla astazi. Aceasta stare de lucruri nu este lucrarea Providentei, ci lucrarea omului; a fost creata prin abuzurile si obiceiurile gresite, prin violarea legilor pe care le-a facut Dumnezeu pentru a guverna viata omului. Prin ispita de a-si ingadui apetitul au cazut la inceput Adam si Eva din starea lor inalta, sfanta si fericita. Si prin aceeasi ispita a ajuns slabita intreaga rasa umana. Oamenii au permis apetitului si pasiunii sa puna stapanire pe tron si sa supuna ratiunea si intelectul. 16:6 Violarea legilor organismului si consecinta acestui lucru, suferinta umana, au continuat atat de mult timp, incat barbatii si femeile considera starea actuala de boala, suferinta, slabiciune si moarte prematura ca fiind soarta hotarata a omenirii. Omul a iesit perfect si frumos ca alcatuire din mana Creatorului lui si cu atat de multa forta vitala, incat a fost nevoie de mai mult de doua mii de ani pentru ca poftele si pasiunile sale stricate si violarile curente ale legilor trupesti sa fie simtite apasand cu putere asupra rasei umane. Generatiile mai recente au simtit presiunea infirmitatilor si bolilor, mai mare si mai rapida cu fiecare generatie. Fortele vitale au fost mult slabite prin ingaduirea apetitului si pasiunilor pacatoase. 16:7 Patriarhii de la Adam la Noe au trait, cu putine exceptii, aproape o mie de ani. Din zilele lui Noe, durata vietii s-a tot micsorat. Cei care sufereau de 16:8 boli au fost adusi la Hristos pentru a fi vindecati, din orice oras, orasel si sat; caci erau afectati de tot felul de boli. Iar boala a crescut constant de atunci, de la o generatie la alta. Din cauza incalcarii continue a legilor vietii, mortalitatea a crescut intr-o masura infricosatoare. Anii omului au fost scurtati, asa incat generatia actuala intra in mormant chiar inainte de varsta la care generatiile care au trait in primele cateva mii de ani de la creatie abia intrau in actiune. 16:9 Boala s-a transmis de la parinti la copii, din generatie in generatie. Pruncii din leagan sunt ingrozitor de afectati din cauza pacatelor parintilor, care le-au micsorat forta vitala. Obiceiurile lor gresite de a manca si de a se imbraca si in general viata lor de placeri, toate acestea sunt transmise ca mostenire copiilor. Multi se nasc dementi, diformi, orbi, surzi si o categorie numeroasa, deficienti in ce priveste intelectul. Ciudata absenta a principiilor, care caracterizeaza aceasta generatie si care se manifesta prin faptul ca acestia desconsidera legile de vietuire si ale sanatatii, este uluitoare. Ignoranta invaluie acest subiect in timp ce lumina straluceste pretutindeni in jurul lor. Pentru majoritatea, principala lor neliniste este: Ce-am sa mananc? Ce-am sa beau? Cu ce-am sa ma imbrac? In pofida a tot ce se spune si se scrie in legatura cu modul in care ar trebui sa ne purtam cu trupurile noastre, apetitul este marea lege care are stapanire in general asupra barbatilor si femeilor. 16:10 Puterile morale sunt slabite, pentru ca barbatii si femeile nu vor sa traiasca in supunere fata de legile sanatatii si sa faca din acest maret subiect o datorie personala. Parintii dau ca mostenire copiilor propriile lor obiceiuri stricate, iar bolile dezgustatoare otravesc sangele si storc de puteri creierul. Majoritatea barbatilor si femeilor raman nestiutori in privinta legilor fiintei lor si isi ingaduie apetitul si pasiunea pe socoteala intelectului si simtului moral, parand dispusi sa ramana ignoranti in ce priveste rezultatul faptului ca au incalcat legile firii omenesti. Ei isi ingaduie apetitul depravat folosind otravuri lente, care strica sangele si submineaza puterile creierului, aducand in 16:11 consecinta boala si moartea asupra lor. Prietenii lor numesc rezultatul acestei cai "incercarea trimisa de Providenta". Facand aceasta, ei insulta Cerul. Prietenii acestora s-au razvratit impotriva legilor firii si au suferit pedeapsa pentru ca au incalcat astfel legile ei. Suferinta si mortalitatea troneaza acum pretutindeni, mai cu seama printre copii. Cat de mare este contrastul dintre aceasta generatie si aceia care au trait in primele 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).
Multilingual Online Ebooks
It is possible now to have the inspirational ebooks on your browser and to read it allowing you to make comparisons between different translations or versions for a specific language. This occasion is unique, and you have only to browse to the desired author and book.
