48:1 5. SENTIMENTUL INDATORIRII MORALE 48:2 Calauziti de principiul moral si religios. - Trebuie sa actionam de pe o platforma morala si religioasa, sa fim temperati in toate lucrurile pentru ca, inaintea noastra, sta o cununa care nu se strica, o comoara cereasca. - Testimonies, vol. 2, pag. 374. 48:3 Ca urmasi ai lui Hristos, noi trebuie sa actionam principial, in ceea ce priveste mancarea si bautura. - Redemption or the Temptation of Christ, pag. 60. 48:4 Cazul lui Daniel ne arata ca, avand principii, tinerii pot triumfa in fata poftei carnii si ramane credinciosi cerintelor lui Dumnezeu, chiar cu pretul unui mare sacrificiu. - Testimonies, vol. 4, pag. 570. 48:5 Nu exista dreptul moral de a face ce-ti place. - N-am dreptul sa fac ce-mi place cu trupul meu? - Nu, moral nu ai dreptul acesta, pentru ca violezi legile vietii si ale sanatatii, pe care ti le-a dat Dumnezeu. Tu esti proprietatea lui Dumnezeu, esti al Lui prin creatiune si prin rascumparare. "Sa iubesti pe aproapele tau ca pe tine insuti". Legea respectului de sine si pentru proprietatea Domnului este pusa in evidenta aici. Iar aceasta va conduce la respectarea obligatiilor sub care se afla orice faptura umana, de a pastra masinaria vie, atat de impresionant si minunat realizata. - Manuscris 49, 1897. 48:6 Sentimentul sacralitatii legii naturii. - Fiecare lege care guverneaza organismul uman trebuie strict respectata, pentru ca este in aceeasi masura o lege a lui Dumnezeu, cum este Cuvantul Sau; si orice abatere voita de la ascultarea de aceasta lege constituie la fel de sigur pacat precum calcarea legii morale. Intreaga natura exprima Legea 48:7 lui Dumnezeu, dar in structura noastra fizica, Dumnezeu Si-a scris legea cu propriul deget, pe orice nerv care vibreaza, pe orice fibra vie si pe orice organ al trupului nostru. Vom suferi pierderi si infrangeri, daca vom pasi pe o cale a noastra, alaturi de calea naturii pe care Dumnezeu in persoana ne-a trasat-o. 48:8 Trebuie sa urmarim Legea, daca vrem sa castigam favoarea vietii vesnice. Calea este destul de incapatoare si toti care alearga in aceasta cursa pot castiga premiul. Daca ne cream un apetit nenatural si ni-l ingaduim fara nici o rezerva, calcam legile naturii, avand ca rezultat o conditie fizica, intelectuala si morala slabite, si nemaifiind acum buni de efortul perseverent, energic si optimist, pe care l-am fi putut face, daca am fi fost corecti fata de legile naturii. Daca lezam un singur organ al trupului, il jefuim pe Dumnezeu de slujirea pe care I-am fi putut-o acorda. "Nu stiti ca trupul vostru este Templul Duhului Sfant, care locuieste in voi si pe care L-ati primit de la Dumnezeu? Si ca voi nu sunteti ai vostri? Caci ati fost cumparati cu un pret. Proslaviti, dar, pe Dumnezeu in trupul si in Duhul vostru, care sunt ale lui Dumnezeu." - Review and Herald, 18 octombrie 1881. 48:9 Un permanent simtamant al responsabilitatii. - Cei care realizeaza continuu ca se afla in aceasta relatie cu Dumnezeu nu vor introduce in stomacul lor alimente care plac apetitului, dar care afecteaza organele digestive. Ei nu lovesc proprietatea lui Dumnezeu ingaduindu-si obiceiuri improprii in a manca si a bea, sau in imbracaminte. Ei vor avea mare grija de masinaria umana, constienti ca trebuie sa faca lucrul acesta pentru a lucra in cooperare cu Dumnezeu. El doreste ca ei sa fie sanatosi, fericiti si utili. Dar, pentru a fi asa, ei trebuie sa-si treaca vointa de partea vointei Sale. - Scrisoarea 166, 1903. 48:10 Aparati de zidul independentei morale. - Printr-un efort persistent, intransigenti fata de obiceiurile vietii mondene, parintii pot 48:11 construi in jurul copiilor lor un zid care sa-i apere de mizeriile si crimele produse din cauza necumpatarii. Copiii nu trebuie lasati in voia lor, sa-si formeze in mod nefast trasaturi ce se cer inabusite din fasa, ci trebuie disciplinati cu grija si educati sa ia pozitie de partea cea buna, a reformei si a abstinentei. Atunci ei vor avea, in orice criza, independenta morala de a infrunta furtuna opozitiei care, cu siguranta, ii va asalta pe cei care iau pozitie pentru reforma adevarata. - Pacific Health Journal, mai 1890. 48:12 Aduceti-va copiii la Dumnezeu cu credinta si cautati sa imprimati in mintea lor impresionabila constiinta obligatiilor fata de Tatal lor ceresc. Va fi nevoie de lectie dupa lectie, sfat dupa sfat, aici putin, dincolo putin. - Review and Herald, 6 noiembrie 1883. 48:13 Prezentati temperanta ca fiind un privilegiu si o binecuvantare. - Sa le fie imprimat elevilor gandul ca trupul este un templu in care Dumnezeu doreste sa locuiasca si ca acesta trebuie sa fie pastrat curat, sa fie un sediu al gandurilor nobile si curate. Descoperirea, in studiul fiziologiei, ca sunt intr-adevar "o faptura asa de minunata", le va inspira decenta. In loc sa strice lucrarea mainilor lui Dumnezeu, ei vor avea ambitia sa faca tot ce le este posibil pentru a implini planul glorios al lui Dumnezeu. Astfel vor ajunge sa considere ascultarea de legile lui Dumnezeu nu o chestiune de sacrificiu sau renuntare de sine, ci un privilegiu si o binecuvantare inestimabila, ceea ce si este. - Education, pag. 201. 48:14 O mare biruinta, privind de pe pozitia morala. - Daca putem destepta sensibilitatile morale ale poporului nostru in problema temperantei, o mare biruinta va fi castigata. Temperanta in toate aspectele acestei vieti trebuie invatata si aplicata. - Signs of the Times, 2 octombrie 1907. 48:15 Fiecare va raspunde personal inaintea lui Dumnezeu. - Ascultarea de legile vietii trebuie facuta o datorie personala. Noi trebuie sa raspundem fata de Dumnezeu pentru obiceiurile si practicile noastre, intrebarea noastra nu trebuie sa fie: "Ce va spune lumea?", ci "Cum 48:16 voi trata eu, pretins crestin, locul de sedere al lui Dumnezeu, pe care El mi l-a incredintat? Voi lucra pentru cel mai mare bine, atat vremelnic, cat si spiritual, pastrandu-mi trupul ca un templu de locuire a Duhului Sfant sau ma voi sacrifica de dragul ideilor si practicilor lumii?". Manuscris 86, 1897. 48:17 Mai mult decat invingatori. - Daca credinciosii isi vor pastra trupul in supunere si vor aduce toate poftele si pasiunile lor sub controlul unei constiinte iluminate, simtind ca o datorie pe care o au fata de Dumnezeu si aproapele sa asculte de legile care guverneaza sanatatea si viata, vor avea binecuvantarea vigorii fizice si intelectuale. Ei vor avea putere morala pentru a se angaja in lupta cu Satana si, in Numele Celui care a biruit pofta pentru ei, pot fi mai mult decat invingatori, in contul lor. - Review and Herald, 21 noiembrie 1882. |

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).
