Lol. ok. But it's ok to love my boyfriend so much that i get jealous if he looks at another right?

Sanchez01:
Before you turn the Scriptures upside down,I must explain some things; yes, God is jealous and His is a product of love. He wants us to serve Him and Him alone and none other. Just like we get involved with our partners and want them to love us alone. Your kind of jealous is not a product of love, it revolves around material things. You must understand the two. Material things are vain and as such, being jealous over them will only cause us to hate those who are succeeding while evil and hatred grows in our heart.

Your jealous is not for a soul, rather, for material things. And do you know what we call them? COVETOUSNESS!


#Shalom!

He didn't? We are supposed to be like God..right?

gift01: If its good, the Lord through the Bible would have told us so

Bvsteph: Erm... i don't grab, pls break it down

Go and read it again, I have modified it.

Everyone seems to be a spiritualist in this country, brains are used no more. Mother setting daughter on fire with the belief of burning out the witch in her, grown up man slapping a minor, and majority sees nothing wrong with it.

Bvsteph: Lol. ok. But it's ok to love my boyfriend so much that i get jealous if he looks at another right?

Sure, because that in itself, is a product of love.

Bvsteph: As Christians, we can be Jealous right? We can be Jealous about our brother getting a car and we have nothing, we can be Jealous when our family gives much more attention to one sibling than the whole lot, we can be Jealous when our bestfriend is focusing on another instead of us. Jealousy is a product of love...right?

Exodus 20: 5 and so many other passages tell us about God being Jealous. If God is a Jealous God, then who are we 'NOT' to be Jealous?

Pls continue after the cut


Lets break it down into bits

1. Is Jealousy a product of Love....Yes or No?

it is a product of love when it is positive I.e when it seek the face and not selfish or self will, but,
it is not a product of love when it seek the downfall of another.

Bvsteph: 2. God is our ultimate model. The one we must follow, the one true, and perfect and holy being. If God can be Jealous, then we can too?... Is being Jealous Right or Wrong?

right

Bvsteph:
A. If it's right, then why do most people leave a relationship because their partners are "too Jealous"? Why can't we all see it as a good thing not a bad thing?

the jealous in a love affair of two kind
1. bodily jealous: I.e jealous based on lust and not love. is the type that do not want to be repaid back in the same coin he/she sold out. the man who perpetrate evil by sword will scream when he sees another person holding sword.
2. the agape jealous: jealous that is not destructive but constructive and always positive.
so by now you know the type of jealous that breaks a relationship.

Thanks! makes lots of sense! One more question though,you talked about it being wrong between boyfriend and girlfriend, don't u think u r referring to "under ideal situation?" So if you do get jealous over ur girlfriend/fiancee ...that's a sin?

hmmm....ok!

Sanchez01:

There's agape jealousy?....That is 'Unconditional' jealousy? Pls break it down

There's notin wrong in been jealous , but There's something wrong been jealous when u go out of way to commit a crime all because u re jealous ? Like me I don't criticize a pastor who drink beer or alcohol,cos the bible said drink but don't be what ? Drunk...so when u drink/jealous notin bad or wrong but when u drink/jealous and u get drunk/crime then its wrong... Hope say I make sense o

...who is a christian...what are the qualities of christian....?

Yea, though it's hard to drink without getting drunk though

Jealousy has nothing to do with religion. It is an individual thing.

There's something called 'godly jealousy' (2nd Corinthians 11:2).. Any other jealousy could be sin

Ceasar1: Forget Religion.

As a Human being, You have the right to be jealous. It's a perfectly normal ish to every normal Human being like every emotion.

What is wrong is to be extremely jealous because that will cause bitter resentments and harmful destructions which is not right at all - Shalom.

simple and short

no long story

Jealousy begets envy and envy begets bitterness and bitterness begets hatred and hatred begets wickedness. And finally wickedness brings destruction of the virtues of life.

If God himself can be a jealous God, who are we as humans not to be jealous

Nice writeup good question but you can't compare spirit with human .

God is a spirit , Man is human , you can't compare the moral of the almighty with human morals. Most humans are jealous for stupid human emotions God does not have those selfish human feelings

Finally asking why God can be jealous and you can't implies that you and God are on the same level , equals , mates and God hates that

Envy and Jealousy have to be properly differentiated here.
Jealousy is often expressed concerning/towards whom you truly loves but shares his/her love with someone or something else. OR what you own nd truly love but does not appreciate your commitments attracts jealousy.
But is envy, if not contained within acceptable levels could be dangerous nd deadly. it entails wishing someone or something that belongs to another to be yours at all cost...

Make i ask "What is Jealousy?"

Bin jealous is a feeling..what matters is the way u control ur self

We are all spirit beings, created in God's own image and likeness. Infact what is unseen is more real than the physical bodies we are seeing right now. Am in no way saying am equals with God. But the bible says, "Be ye holy as I am holy" We are supposed to take God as our example and walk in his steps...that's like where am coming from

Jealousy is not a product of love.being jealous is not a hallmark of a practicing christian,it is one of the works of flesh cos jealousy is the kid sister of envy although it is natural for every human being to be jealous bt once u giv ur life to christ,u need the help of d holyspirit to overcome dat evil spirit called jealousy.

Are you serious? It's an evil spirit? Didn't know that

no! You are not to be jealous, pple who exhibit such trait and its likes will not inherit heaven (Gal 5: 19-21). If you start to think abt what other people have that you are yet to have, then start praising God who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all you can ask or think according to the power that works in you( Eph 3:20). Refuse to be jealous!

What about the jealousy that makes a wife go through her husband's phone and facebook and then deletes his ex numbers or annoying facebook or whatsapp messages? Is it okay to protect your husband from female admirers when you feel he might fall for their messages and calls?

Good question! I hope we get an answer
