Printable ModeTemperanta, 2
|
2:1 Prefata 2:2 TEMPERANTA a fost o tema favorita a lui Ellen G. White, atat in scrieri, cat si in discursul public. In multe dintre articolele ei, aparute in publicatiile denominationale de-a lungul anilor si in manuscrise si scrisori de consiliere, adresate atat lucratorilor biblici, cat si membrilor laici, ea i-a sfatuit pe adventistii de ziua a saptea sa practice temperanta si sa promoveze viguros cauza acesteia. Drept raspuns la cererile insistente ca aceasta bogatie de material si invatatura sa fie pusa la indemana intr-un singur volum, prezentul manual a fost pregatit cu autorizare de catre "Ellen White Publications", societate careia Ellen White i-a incredintat custodia cartilor si manuscriselor ei. 2:3 Selectiunile de fata au fost extrase din intreaga arie de scrieri ale lui Ellen White pe aceasta tema, incluzand si unele deja tiparite, cum ar fi: Health, or How to Live (Sanatate, sau cum sa traim - 1865), Christian Temperance and Bible Hygiene (Temperanta crestina si igiena in Biblie - 1890), Special Testimonies (Marturii Speciale - 1892 - 1912) si Drunkenness and Crime (Bautura si crima - 1907). 2:4 Atat in subiect, cat si in continutul materialului prezentat, compilatorii au cautat cu asiduitate sa reflecte accentul pe care autoarea l-a pus pe diferitele aspecte ale temperantei. 2:5 Efortul de a aduna acele fragmente care sa reprezinte intreaga ei contributie pe aceasta tema si dorinta de a face o prezentare completa a variatelor sectiuni referitoare la diferitele aspecte ale chestiunii temperantei au dus, in mod firesc, la unele repetari de idei. In stradania de a prezenta materialul intr-o astfel de maniera, incat sa fie de maxim folos cititorului si, in acelasi timp, pentru evitarea repetarilor nedorite, au fost preferate, uneori, fragmente scurtate. Totusi, atunci cand s-a eliminat contextul, s-a acordat o mare atentie sa nu se altereze in vreun fel ideea sau sublinierea autoarei. De fiecare data, s-a acordat credit deplin cartii, articolului sau manuscrisului din care a fost extras fragmentul. 2:6 Cititorii vor recunoaste ca Ellen G. White, care a murit in 1915, a scris intr-o perioada in care unii termeni erau complet diferiti de cei care se folosesc azi in mod obisnuit si in care descrierile amanuntite ale conditiilor ar putea diferi de ceea ce ne este familiar noua azi. De exemplu, se face referire la "saloon" (carciuma). Daca restaurantul din zilele noastre e posibil sa difere de carciuma de acum cincizeci de ani, toata lumea stie ca aceleasi bauturi care se foloseau cand scria Ellen White se vand si azi si ca efectele lor asupra trupului mintii si sufletului sunt aceleasi. Relatia dintre folosirea alcoolului si accidentele de automobil nu a fost atat de subliniata cum este azi, din simplul motiv ca masinile nu erau atunci atat de larg folosite. Totusi, cititorul va gasi in afirmatii referitoare la consumul de alcool si accidente o descriere a cauzelor si efectelor total aplicabila conditiilor de azi. Puterea alcoolului de a submina caminul, de a ruina sanatatea si moralul si de a distruge sufletul este la fel de viguroasa in prezent ca acum cincizeci de ani. 2:7 Cititorul va discerne imediat semnificatia temperantei asa cum i-a fost prezentata doamnei White in lungii ani ai bogatei ei slujiri. In aceasta privinta, prezentul volum constituie o contributie inestimabila la literatura despre temperanta. Predicile despre temperanta, aflate in Anexe releva povara grea a doamnei White pentru salvarea omenirii de la distrugatorul de suflete curs al necumpatarii. 2:8 Sincera dorinta a editorilor este ca, sub binecuvantarea lui Dumnezeu, acest volum sa faca o lucrare de revitalizare a interesului adventistilor de ziua a saptea fata de temperanta si lucrarea ei si sa ne puna in locul nostru rezervat de cer, in fruntea fortelor care lupta pentru temperanta. 2:9 Institutul pentru studiul scrierilor lui E.

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).
