    It is not a bad jealous. God is jealous for our attention because HE loves us. HE is jealous because HE does not want us to hurt ourselves by following after the wrong thing. HE cares for us.

    Love makes one jealous. So to have God jealous means God loves us a lot. When we love someone so much it hurts, this is when we can become jealous. This is how much God loves us and more love as well.

    bless you.

    One only become jealous of when those they are in love with leave for another. So a jealous God is a God that loves you very much.

    take care.

    God is not jealous god is a lot of things but jealous is not one of them.

    We were created in order for us to learn how it feels to be like god. To know what it feel like to love, how it feels to love with all your heart and not receive that same love back. To prove ourselves worthy to receive his love and grace.

    He mentions it to show how normal it is for a man to be jealous when his wife is unfaithful, and vice-versa. Political correctness would tell you the opposite and shame you (inferiority complex, etc.) for something a normal person should feel.

    Political correctness does this with countless Christians and morally upright attributes.

    They twist evil around to sound like good, and good is twisted around to sound like evil

    The only thing a Jealous god shows is that god is immoral and not worthy of our worship. We can further show how god is immoral with The god Morality Dilemma of 1987 by R.Ries!

    1. Can your god change the rules for his followers to follow at any time? (Yes/No)

    2. Do you believe your gods word absolute? (Yes/No)

    3. When god orders you to kill your own child, will you? (Yes/No)

    As proof that god does force his followers to murder Brothers, Family and Friends is in Exodus 32:26-29 is just one of many instances of evidence that god in the past has ordered people to kill family members, friends and neighbors and praised them for doing so.

    This dilemma is proven for a fact by this video

    Nov. 11 2009 here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSW_L-6vNZY

    This also shows the immorality of all gods

    If you believe He created you, would He not be jealous if you give thanks and adoration to someone who did not make you?

    Because those who pretend that it is real are jealous, and it was created in their image.
