19:1 3. EFECTELE INTOXICANTE ALE VINULUI SI CIDRULUI 19:2 Oamenii se pot ameti la fel de real cu vin sau cidru cum ar face-o cu bauturi mai puternice, si turmentarea cea mai rea este produsa de aceste asa-numite bauturi usoare. Pasiunile sunt mai rele, transformarea caracterului mai ampla, mai hotarata si mai neinduplecata. Cateva 19:3 pahare de cidru sau vin usor pot trezi gustul pentru bauturi mai tari si multi dintre cei care au devenit betivi notorii in acest fel si-au pus temelia obiceiului de a bea. - Review and Herald, 25 martie 1884. 19:4 Un posibil precursor al obiceiului de a bea. - Un singur pahar de vin poate deschide usa pentru ispite care duc la formarea obiceiului de a bea. - Testimonies, vol. 4, pag. 578. 19:5 Stare de boala rezultata din folosirea cidrului. - Tendinta spre diferite boli, cum ar fi hidropizie, afectiuni hepatice, tremur nervos si hipertensiune este rezultatul folosirii cidrului acru. Consumandu-l, multi aduc asupra lor boli cronice. Unii mor din cauza epuizarii, sau cad loviti de apoplexie, numai din aceasta cauza. Altii sufera de dispepsie. Fiecare functie vitala refuza sa actioneze, iar medicii le spun ca sunt bolnavi de ficat cand, daca ar pune cep butoiului de cidru, fara a mai ceda ispitei de a-l scoate, energiile abuzate ale vietii lor si-ar restabili vigoarea. - Review and Herald, 25 martie 1884. 19:6 Efectele vinului, dupa potop. - Lumea devenise atat de stricata, prin ingaduinta apetitului si a pasiunilor josnice, in zilele lui Noe, incat Dumnezeu i-a nimicit pe locuitori prin apele potopului. Si, pe masura ce oamenii s-au inmultit din nou pe pamant, ingaduinta fata de vin a pervertit simturile, pregatind calea pentru mancarea de carne multa si consolidarea pasiunilor animalice. Oamenii s-au ridicat impotriva Dumnezeului cerului, iar capacitatile si oportunitatile lor au fost dedicate slavirii proprii, in locul onorarii Creatorului. - Redemption or the Temptation of Christ, pag. 21, 22. 19:7 Spre folosirea bauturilor mai tari. - Consumarea de cidru duce la folosirea bauturilor mai tari. Stomacul isi pierde vigoarea naturala si este nevoie de ceva mai puternic pentru a-l pune la treaba. Cu o 19:8 ocazie, cand sotul meu si cu mine calatoream, am fost nevoiti sa petrecem un timp mai indelungat asteptand trenul. Aflandu-ne in gara, un fermier gras, cu fata rosie, a intrat in restaurantul acesteia si, cu voce tare si rastita, a intrebat: "Aveti coniac din cel mai tare?" Raspunsul a fost afirmativ, iar el a comandat jumatate de pahar mare. "Esenta de piper aveti?" "Da", a fost raspunsul. "Bine, pune doua linguri mari!" Apoi a comandat un adaos de doua linguri de alcool si a incheiat reteta cu "o doza buna de piper negru". Omul care pregatea toate acestea l-a intrebat: "Ce vreti sa faceti cu acest amestec?" Iar fermierul i-a raspuns: "Pai, cred ca am sa-l beau"; si a dus la gura paharul plin si a baut intregul lui continut infiorator. "Acest om", a spus sotul meu, "a folosit stimulente pana cand si-a distrus peretii fini ai stomacului. Cred ca trebuie sa fie acum la fel de insensibili ca un bocanc ars". 19:9 Citind acestea, multi vor rade la avertizarea fata de pericol, spunand: "in mod sigur vinul usor sau cidrul pe care le folosesc eu nu pot sa-mi faca rau." Dar Satana i-a consemnat ca prada a lui; el ii conduce pas cu pas, iar ei nu-si dau seama pana cand lanturile obisnuintei si ale apetitului devin prea puternice pentru a fi rupte. Vedem puterea pe care apetitul pentru bauturi tari o are asupra oamenilor; vedem cum multi oameni, de toate profesiile si cu raspunderi importante, barbati sus - pusi si de talent, cu mari realizari, cu simtaminte delicate, cu un puternic sistem nervos si capacitati inalte de judecata sacrifica totul pentru ingaduinta apetitului, pana sunt redusi la nivel de brute; si, in foarte multe cazuri, caderea lor a inceput cu folosirea vinului usor ori a cidrului. Stiind lucrul acesta, ma opun hotarat fabricarii vinului sau a cidrului pentru a fi folosite ca bauturi... Daca toti ar fi vigilenti si corecti in vegherea asupra micilor oportunitati deschise de folosirea moderata a asa-numitelor nevatamatoare bauturi, ca vinul si cidrul, calea cea larga spre betie ar fi inchisa. - Review and Herald, 25 martie 1884. |

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).
