So I was the one who called God Jealous? You didn't see it in the Bible?
tctrills: This sentence you made does not make much sense and let me tell you why. If I for example call you a thief then I claim 'thief' means something else, wouldn't you still feel insulted? You just called God jealous but now you want to change the meaning of jealous, does that make any sense? But you and I know that God does not have a jealousy problem but you want to pretend that jealousy means something beautiful.
Your challenge is you can't wrap your head round the truth because it doesn't make sense to you using the English dictionary.
tctrills: The most important thing you said was; 'The letter killeth but the Spirit giveth life.' I gave the example of the kids to show that love has nothing to do with jealousy. Jealousy comes from suspicion, fear, and envy. The word jealousy is a mistranslation.
You dey make me laff. The truth is different from opinions or what you expect it to be.
Except you are saying God doesn't know what He's saying or that God is weak.
The letter killeth but the Spirit giveth life.
Now concerning what you wrote. Who told you a father or mother can't be Jealous over one's children?
Secondly, what's the relationship between Christ and the Church? No be husband and wife?
In as much as I try to explain it with everyday examples, you can't fully understand spiritual things with a carnal mind.
tctrills: But then let me give you more insight. As a man, you are never jealous of your sons or daughters but you are jealous of your wife. You love your sons and daughters so clearly, jealousy is not about love. It's about fear.
You don't need to use a tipper-load of nonsense to contravene a known fact. Even if you type 20pages more, you are not still.making sense.
The point is Peter Obi is more cerebral and qualified than Tinubu and He is destined to be Nigeria's President come 2023.
Tinubu is a very bad product to sell. Abeg
GoodLife4live: Shutup ... Tinubu dis tinubu that.. and your unproductive candidate call Peter obi can not provide is BSC RESULTS all because he got pass as a result of his dullness..
If you are reasonable anough, you won't compare a phylosophy third class graduate from third world University / third world country to a first class graduate in accounting in Chicago state University of America... An advance country for that matter....
Infact , I just believe that , u can't be obi supporter and not be sick upstairs in your brain....
Obi wey go disgrace nigeria for World network ( CNN )
Jealousy doesn't necessarily breed envy. Just as Eating is part of.our everyday life, if not controlled can make one a glutton.Jealousy if not controlled, can.
That said, Just as anyone with a bile can get.angry, anyone who truly loves a thing protects it from abuse. You may not protect a public toilet as you would your personal toilet even if you are given to hygiene. God is Jealous and protective of us because He knows we become our best in/with Him.
Healthy Jealousy is a proof that something is dear to you and you care. It is a component of love.
Jealousy here has to do with emotional pain not weakness.
tctrills: No, I am not. Jealousy breeds envy. Here are some definitions of jealousy.
Feeling or showing an envious resentment of someone or their achievements, possessions, or perceived advantages.
feeling or showing a resentful suspicion that one's partner is attracted to or involved with someone else.
Yawns... Unfortunately, the only one with questionable academic qualification is Tinubu...Common Pry school and Secondary school certificate he can not provide.
Even a baby knows Tinubu's manifesto was not written by him and here you are celebrating a fraud that can't field simple questions from journalists.
You are mistaking Jealousy with Envy. The ALMIGHTY God described Himself as Jealous and you call it Weakness?
Fear is not Jealousy
tctrills: Jealousy is a sign of weakness and lack of trust. Jealousy is negative energy. Jealousy is not part of love. Jealousy comes with suspicion and fear. In perfect love, there is no fear. 1 John 4:18
Peter Obi's shoes were bought from the Lagos Tinubu created or Peter Obi's supporters bought gala on Lagos road.
Being OBIdient is a natural reaction to how APC(especially)+ PDP have ruined Nigeria. No one joined the OBIdient movement because another person joined. In fact, the OBIdient movement have repeatedly called the bluff of any "big" personality who does not identify with retiring the old order.
Those who thought it was an Igbo movement were shocked. I know OBIDIENTS are very smart Nigerians but to be honest what's happening is beyond intelligence or strategy.
Peter Obi is no doubt favored by God. And This is not ordinary.
Not many remembered that yesterday was independence day.Not sure anyone bothered to listen to what Buhari or his lying machine had to say.
Lagos was in the news yesterday just for one reason- The ObiDatti Mega Rally. OBIdients defied the early morning rainfall and reported at the various PPA- Place of Primary Assignment.
No one noticed or remembered the sitting Governor was celebrating the independence day in one of the stadia in Lagos. Not sure anyone cared.
Away from all these. For the first time in recent history, I saw Nigerians willingly/joyfully sing the national anthem.Hope came alive..tribes disappeared... Peter Obi was christened OBITUNDE, people felt safe amongst strangers...Even Area boys chanted OBILokan as OBIdients marched gallantly making a huge statement- We are the Structure and a New Independent Nigeria for Nigerians is POssible. Oh I forgot to bore you with the frivolous suit to stop the rally...and tell you that MC OluERAN went into hiding.
"For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God" Exodus 34:14
onumadu: I didn't question GOD'S WORD. I question HUMAN DEPICTION of God's word, or human representation of God's word.
If you believe that God created all things, then how can God be jealous of his work?
Honestly I'm not getting the type of responses that answer the question. It took me years of study to arrive at a point of understanding that God is NOT man.
I once had "an encounter" with an angelic being, and the experience proved that human language is deeply inferior to divine or heavenly language.

I took that route because you sought human explanation.If not, you don't need to question God's word.
onumadu: You see, the bolded words are exactly the problem. You are HUMANIZING GOD - making God behave and reason like a human being, when he made it clear that his ways and human ways are not the same.
One woman had a "near death experience" after she almost died at the hospital and she described the God and the world she met in the after life. She said that almost everything there is OPPOSITE of how we do this on this earth.
My worry is that HUMANS have come between God and his creation, essentially adulterating what God is and those biases are evidenced in the way the humans who wrote the Bible wrote it.
You'd be shocked to see how a story changes from one person to another, talkless of from one year to another, and from one generation to another. God of course never changes. Humans do.
The entire creation is God's masterpiece "art work". How can the artist be jealous of his own works, works he can change anytime he wants? That is the question.
