Who Is God Jealous Of? by plaetton: 2:31pm On Mar 09, 2015 |
Many times in the bible we read the statement, "... For I, your God, am A Jealous God.." The universal definition of Jealousy is thus: A negative feeling of resentment, anxiety, inadequacy, insecurity againsts a another or rival who appears to enjoy greater advantage or success. So, againSt whom was the omni omni creator of the universe feeling resentment and insecure? 8 Likes |

1. Which God is that? SkyBipolarGod? 2. Now that I think of the word Jealousy, I think you're not doing justice to it..... Just saying sha. I mean.....I get jealous too.....but none of that quite captures my feelings (Your statutory definition, I mean). Say I'm in love with you now, or massively crushing on you......and I happen to know you well enough, more like you belong to me.....if some random chic flirts around with you, I may feel somewhat somehow....... owh well, we're practically saying the same thing. I can't take excuses for the God up there. I don't know him 3. Is there even a faint 0.00001% chance that the translators did not do justice to the original languages, in reference to that scripture. These days, I take things I hear of in the bible with a pinch of salt. It has been proven that I can't depend on some translation/translators to guide me....to some extent. So I follow my spirit, the eternal spirit. I actually depend on Him/It to retranslate these scriptures whenever I come across them. That is God to me. God within. 3 Likes |

The Almighty God knows there's another god (the devil) who doesn't stop at nothing to possessing the people he created in his image after his likeness. Feeling resentful over evil is God's nature because he is all good. The kingdom of God (light) is always at war with the kingdom of Satan (darkness) |

ifekemmie: Then my going to another god would make God jealous (Isn't Christianity monotheism BTW?) So, He is still jealous of someone/something who/that is "enjoying greater advantage or success" than Him. Hence, insecured. 1 Like |

jnrbayano: Haha. First, you are an embarrassment to Christianity for saying God knows another "god" competing with him. Second, you are also saying God is deceiving and lying to us in Isa 44:6 where He says "I am the first and I am the last; besides me there is no other god." who doesn't stop at nothing to possessing the people he created in his image after his likeness. Has God created a mountain that He cannot lift? 4 Likes |

Pr0ton: The verse you cherry-picked tells you that he is the only true God. That's why I referred to him earlier as the almighty God For God to say "you shall not have any other God before me" supports my earlier post. That's why I don't like commenting on threads made by Atheists. 2 Likes |

plaetton:The doctrine that God is a jealous God comes from the Old Testament books of the law of Moses. The "jealousy" is always in the context of idol worship, beginning in the Ten Commandments of Exodus 20. "You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, ( Exodus 20:5) for you shall not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God-- ( Exodus 34:14) "For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God. ( Deuteronomy 4:24) 'You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, ( Deuteronomy 5:9) for the LORD your God in the midst of you is a jealous God; otherwise the anger of the LORD your God will be kindled against you, and He will wipe you off, the face of the earth. ( Deuteronomy 6:15) What these five verses have in common is that they all share the same Hebrew adjective, qannâ' (Strong's H7067), translated with the English word "jealous." The interesting thing about this word is that it is only used in reference to God. In no instance is the word qannâ' used to describe HUMAN jealousy. The reason that God is "jealous" is because He wants people to choose to love Him. Jesus said that the most important commandment was to love God. God does not want us to waste out time worshipping pretend gods that do not exist.God created you and He loved you fatherly love,he will be jealous for you if you worship other gods |

jnrbayano: Monotheism is the doctrine or belief that there is only one God - http://www.thefreedictionary.com/monotheism Christianity is a monotheistic religion; the belief in the existence of only one god. Psalm 135:15 states it clear that the other so-called gods are no gods at all; having eyes, ears, legs that are useless. There are many other verses that state that God is the only god and there is no other. Here you are contradicting Christianity by introducing a life god that is competiting with your god. That's why I like arguing with Christians. They are inconsistent and contradictory; making the whole argument fun. 1 Like |

malvisguy212: Why should God be Jealous if I worship another God, is he no longer Omniscient? Is he not suppose to knw from beginning that I will worship another God? What's the essence of giving me instruction since he already know what I will choose even before I was born? Is he normal or just want to punish me for his lapses? |
Re: Who Is God Jealous Of? by malvisguy212: 7:07pm On Mar 09, 2015 |
wordcat:human jealousy and God jealousy is different,jealousy is determined in the context of each verse. God's "jealousy" is primarily restricted to a jealousy over the worship of idols that competes with His love to prevent a dedicated relationship with Him, jealousy between people takes on quite a number of forms. Two different Hebrew words are used to describe human jealousy. The Hebrew verb qânâ' (Strong's H7065) refers to a passionate jealousy or envy. The Hebrew noun qin'âh (Strong's H7068) takes on a wide range of meanings from sexual passion (or jealousy) to a zeal for God to anger or envy. The exact meaning (and the English translation is usually determined from the context. Honestly the op got it all wrong,but I don't blame Him, the question is a fair one. |

There are two kinds of jealousy in the world, human jealousy and Godish jealousy. Human jealousy is petty and ridiculous Godish jealousy is petty and ridiculous with the only caveat being that it's God and he doesn't give a rat's tail what you feel about it. He's the almighty and if he wants to be jealous, he damn well can! |
