11:1 3. PANGARIND TEMPLUL LUI DUMNEZEU 11:2 Nepotrivit, costisitor si necurat. - Folosirea tutunului este un obicei rau, costisitor si necurat. Invataturile lui Hristos, care promoveaza puritatea, renuntarea de sine si temperanta, dezaproba, toate, aceasta practica care pangareste... Este spre slava lui Dumnezeu ca oamenii sa-si slabeasca puterile fizice, sa-si tulbure creierul si sa-si supuna vointa in fata acestui narcotic otravitor? - Christian Temperance and Bible Hygiene, pag. 17, 18. 11:3 Privind prin ferestre cetoase. - Tanarul care practica folosirea tutunului si-a pangarit intreaga fiinta. Vointa lui nu mai are promptitudinea si forta prin care facea din el un om demn de incredere si valoare, inainte de a accepta otrava vrajmasului. Mintea lui nu trebuia sa decada si nu era nevoie ca el sa piarda inspiratia care vine de la Dumnezeu. Dar atunci cand agentul uman lucreaza in perfecta armonie cu distrugatorul, biciuindu-si nervii si muschii, sangele si tesuturile organismului, uzeaza masinaria prin care lucreaza intelectul. El incetoseaza ferestrele prin care priveste si vede totul intr-o lumina pervertita. - Manuscris 17, 1898. 11:4 Tamaie pentru maiestatea sa, diavolul. - Vazand cum oameni care pretindeau ca se bucura de binecuvantarea unei sfintiri depline erau sclavi ai tutunului, intinand totul in preajma lor, ma gandeam: Cum ar aparea cerul cu fumatori in el? Buze care rostesc pretiosul 11:5 nume al lui Hristos sunt intinate de rasuflarea tutunului, respiratia e poluata de miasma si pana si lenjeria este atinsa; sufletul care iubeste aceasta necuratie si care se bucura de un aer otravitor este si el intinat. Pe dinafara este afisat semnul care spune ce se afla in interior. 11:6 Oameni care se considera sfinti isi ofera trupul jertfa pe altarul lui Satana si ard tamaia tutunului pentru maiestatea satanica. Vi se pare tare aceasta afirmatie? Orice jertfa este adusa unei zeitati. Daca Dumnezeu este curat si sfant si nu primeste nimic cu caracter intinator, inseamna ca El refuza aceasta costisitoare, murdara si nesfanta jertfa; prin urmare, ajungem la concluzia ca Satana este cel care primeste aceasta onoare. - Counsels of Health, pag. 83. 11:7 Pipa contra cer. - Am vazut multe exemple ale puterii acestui obicei. Stiam o femeie pe care medicul ei o sfatuise sa fumeze, ca remediu pentru astm. Dupa toate aparentele, ea fusese multi ani un crestin zelos dar a devenit atat de legata de fumat, incat atunci cand a fost sfatuita sa renunte la el, ca la un obicei nesanatos si necurat, a refuzat categoric, spunand: "Cand se pune clar problema fie sa renunt la pipa, fie sa pierd cerul, atunci spun: 'Adio, cer!' Nu pot lasa pipa!" Aceasta femeie nu facea decat sa puna in cuvinte ceea ce multi exprima prin faptele lor. Dumnezeu, Cel care a facut cerul si pamantul si care l-a creat pe om, dorind ca acesta sa-i ofere cu totul inima si sentimentele, este tinut in planul doi fata de dezgustatorul si mizerabilul tutun. - Scrisoarea 8, 1893. 11:8 Faptul ca Hristos este neglijat pentru aceste satisfactii nimicitoare de trup si suflet constituie uimirea universului necazut. - Scrisoarea 8, 1893. 11:9 O slaba apreciere a ispasirii si a lucrurilor vesnice. - Atunci cand, in mancare si bautura, urmam un curs care ne slabeste vigoarea fizica si intelectuala sau cand devenim prada obiceiurilor ce tind spre aceleasi rezultate, il dezonoram pe Dumnezeu, pentru ca 11:10 il jefuim de slujirea pe care o pretinde de la noi. Cei care isi dobandesc si intretin anormalul apetit pentru tutun o fac pe cheltuiala sanatatii lor. Ei isi nimicesc energia nervoasa, isi slabesc forta vitala si-si sacrifica vigoarea mintii. 11:11 Cei care se declara crestini, dar au acest teribil pacat la usa, nu pot avea o inalta apreciere a ispasirii si pretuirea lucrurilor vesnice. Mintile incetosate si partial paralizate de narcotice sunt usor de supus ispitei si nu se pot bucura de comuniune cu Dumnezeu. - Signs of the Times, 6 ianuarie 1876. 11:12 Daca Hristos si apostolii ar fi aici. - Iacov spune ca intelepciunea care vine de sus este "mai intai curata". Daca si-ar fi vazut fratii folosind tutun, n-ar fi denuntat el aceasta practica drept "pamanteasca, fireasca, demonica"? - The Sanctified Life, pag. 24. 11:13 Daca Petru ar trai acum, i-ar indemna pe pretinsii urmasi ai lui Hristos sa se abtina de la poftele carnii, care se lupta cu sufletul. Si Pavel ar face apel la biserici, in general, sa se curateasca de orice intinaciune a carnii si a sufletului, desavarsindu-si sfintenia in teama de Dumnezeu. Iar Hristos i-ar da afara din templu pe aceia care sunt intinati de folosirea tutunului, poluand sanctuarul lui Dumnezeu prin respiratia lor tabagica. El le-ar spune acestor inchinatori, asa cum le-a spus iudeilor: "Casa Mea se va numi o casa de rugaciune. Dar voi ati facut din ea o pestera de talhari". Noi le-am spune acestora ca jertfele lor nesfinte de tutun pangaresc templul si sunt dezgustatoare pentru Dumnezeu, ca inchinarea lor nu este primita, fiindca trupurile lor, care ar trebui sa fie temple ale Duhului Sfant, sunt intinate si ca, de asemenea, ei jefuiesc avutia Domnului de mii de dolari, prin ingaduirea unui apetit nenatural. - Signs of the Times, 13 august 1874. 11:14 Preotii care ar fi folosit tutun ar fi fost omorati. - Slujind in servicii sfinte, preotii aveau porunca sa-si spele picioarele si mainile inainte de a intra in cortul intalnirii, unde Se afla Dumnezeu, pentru a se 11:15 ruga pentru popor, ca sa nu pangareasca sanctuarul. Daca ei ar fi intrat in sanctuar cu gurile murdare de tutun, ar fi impartasit soarta lui Nadab si Abihu. Si totusi, pretinsi crestini se pleaca, in familiile lor, inaintea lui Dumnezeu, pentru a I se ruga cu gura intinata de mizerabilul tutun... 11:16 Fiti curati. - Oameni care au fost pusi deoparte prin punerea mainilor, pentru a sluji in lucruri sfinte stau, adeseori, la altar cu gura murdara, cu buzele patate si cu respiratia infectata de intinaciunea tutunului si vorbesc poporului in Numele lui Isus. Cum poate fi primita o astfel de slujire de un Dumnezeu sfant, care le cerea preotilor din Israel sa faca pregatiri deosebite inainte de a veni in prezenta Lui, pentru ca sfintenia Lui sa nu ii nimiceasca, fiindca il dezonoreaza, asa ca in cazul lui Nadab si Abihu? 11:17 Acestia pot fi siguri ca puternicul Dumnezeu al Israelului a ramas un Dumnezeu al curatiei. Ei sustin ca il slujesc pe Dumnezeu, in vreme ce se dedau la idolatrie, facand un dumnezeu din apetit. Tutunul este idolul lor iubit, inchinandu-i toata inalta si sfanta lor consideratie. Ei pretind ca se inchina lui Dumnezeu in vreme ce, in acelasi timp, calca prima porunca, avand alti dumnezei in afara de Domnul. "Fiti sfinti, voi care purtati vasele Domnului." - Spiritual Gifts, vol. 4, pag. 127, 128. 11:18 Sa nu pangareasca templul lui Dumnezeu. - Dumnezeu doreste ca toti cei care cred in El sa simta nevoia de perfectionare. Orice facultate incredintata trebuie dezvoltata. Nici un dar nu trebuie uitat. Ca bunuri ale lui Dumnezeu si zidire a Lui, oamenii se afla sub observatia lui Dumnezeu in orice sens al cuvantului si cu cat devin mai apropiati de Creatorul lor, cu atat mai sacra isi vor considera viata. Ei nu vor pune tutun in gura, stiind ca acesta pangareste templul lui Dumnezeu. Si nu vor bea vin sau bauturi tari pentru ca, asemeni tutunului, alcoolul degradeaza intreaga fiinta. - Manuscris 130, 1899. |

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).
