God is a jealous God (Exd 20:5). Don't you believe He gets jealous when a man tries to help Him with one baptism (Jn 1:33; Eph 4:5)?

    This jealousy is not regarding simple task, this jealousy is regarding worship. Jehovah God is jealous when humans worship other false gods or when they make false gods. And he has a right to this jealousy as he is the Creator of every source of life.

    He is jealous of our souls. There is a water immersion baptism, and a baptism of the Holy Spirit which are two different things and serve two different purposes. One is a physical baptism and the other is a spiritual baptism. Just as we are to be born of water AND spirit.

    God made 10 commandments, and one is "thou shalt not covet they neighbor's wife." Then God had a baby with married Mary and made a baby (Jesus). Why would God be jealous? Wouldn't Joseph (married to Mary) be jealous? God has quite a temper. God destroyed the world in Noah's time, and drove Adam and Eve out of Eden. God destroyed Sodom. Why would anyone want to go to heaven (along with murderers and rapists who got there by believing in Jesus), and sit next to a God with such a temper? God doesn't answer prayers. If a good person is suffering with cancer, God lets them suffer and die, and ignores their prayers. God, with unlimited power, let his own son get tortured to death. What would a psychologist say about a human who displayed the same personality traits as God?
