it is from the word, qanna (jealousy ) that we get the English word "zealous"

You are saying heresy. It's better you stay silent instead of spewing thrash and making a fool out of yourself. You've been copying and pasting other people's work here, and you have no idea whatever their intention is. Just give me a source that confirms that zealous is gotten from qanna or stay silent forever.

You're not thinking with your brain.
If I'm jealous because a male friend of mine is getting attached to another female, does that means I want to be like her? Of course not.
I'm just jealous because he's sharing me with another woman.

eeyah smiley

qanah is from the same word as qanna and it is from where we got zealous from http://biblehub.com/hebrew/7067.htm

And this is where the word qanna,qanah or zealous is used in the bible;
Brown-Driver-Briggs
קַנָּא adjective jealous; — only of God: אֵל
קַנָּא Exodus 20:5 (J) = Deuteronomy 5:9
(as punishing those who hate him),
Exodus 34:14 (J), Deuteronomy 4:24;
Deuteronomy 6:15 (demanding exclusive
service); קַנָּא שְׁמוֺ Exodus 34:14 (J).

Read from the link I paste for more understanding, you accused me of copy and paste, I don't deny it, have non of you guys ever did the same thing? The idea of a jealous God, is it the op idea? The op may not copy it from the web but he got the idea from the web.what you accused me of, your atheists friends are also guilty of the samething.

OK, so two parties. The jealousy is directed at evil or Lucifer.

This is either ignorance at its peak or an intended blatant lie against an innocent website. The website doesn't say qanah qana' is gotten from qanna. Qanna is from qana', and not the other way round. And qanna has one meaning, jealous. While qana' can mean jealous, envious or zealous. Now how does this justify your assertion that qanna means zealous? Liar?

If the bible is just the idea of a Jewish myth as you guys claimed, do you think the writer will make such mistake and contradicts the nature of God? # Guy, shift ma see road#

delusion at its peak!

could you pls answer the op's question, 'who is God jealous of' ?
is not "jealous of" but "jealous for"
He is jealous in this sense:
Protective, zealously guarding, careful in the
protection of something one has or appreciates.
God is jealous for the ones He loves and this
is the reason He would protect them from evil and
wickedness. God will achieve this by throwing every
form of wickedness and evil into Hell.
God loves you but if you choose to be a part of evil
and wickedness even after He had try to cut you off
from it. Then you would be thrown into Hell together
with the evil you refuse to depart from.


Separate yourself from evil now before it's too later.

Faith is not a path to truth. Faith is a response to truth. You either have faith in the truth or you reject it. As for the question of which information is true, the information supported by witnesses is true.

1 Corinthians 8:4-6 KJV

As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one. For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

You have the ability to know the truth with your heart. You don't need to continue to live in confusion.

I have talk with some Muslim and one thing I notice is that they also know deep down that there is something wrong about Islam and Allah. Many even try going to Church because they felt the Christians may be correct. If they are able to listen to their heart more closely they would have been sure that Jesus is the way.

Every human could know the truth with there heart and this truth is not subjective.

Be still, listen to your heart more closely and you would know God. You would know the truth.

He stop being dogmatic and use is brain to reason things out. That is good but the problem is that the brain can never comprehend God.

God is beyond our mental reason and being religious doesn't help either. The answer is in your heart, it has always been there.

God said "Be still and know that I am God".
