I'm Jealous! So What?? by Bvsteph: 3:19pm On Aug 31, 2014 |
As Christians, we can be Jealous right? We can be Jealous about our brother getting a car and we have nothing, we can be Jealous when our family gives much more attention to one sibling than the whole lot, we can be Jealous when our bestfriend is focusing on another instead of us. Jealousy is a product of love...right? Exodus 20: 5 and so many other passages tell us about God being Jealous. If God is a Jealous God, then who are we 'NOT' to be Jealous? Pls continue after the cut Lets break it down into bits 1. Is Jealousy a product of Love....Yes or No? 2. God is our ultimate model. The one we must follow, the one true, and perfect and holy being. If God can be Jealous, then we can too?... Is being Jealous Right or Wrong? A. If it's right, then why do most people leave a relationship because their partners are "too Jealous"? Why can't we all see it as a good thing not a bad thing? B. If it's wrong, then why is God a Jealous God? God whose footsteps we must follow, can be Jealous, and He says it boldly and shows it, yet we that are His own should not? If it's right with God then why is it wrong with man? Aren't we created in God's likeness and image? |

Forget Religion. As a Human being, You have the right to be jealous. It's a perfectly normal ish to every normal Human being like every emotion. What is wrong is to be extremely jealous because that will cause bitter resentments and harmful destructions which is not right at all - Shalom. 4 Likes |

Re: I'm Jealous! So What?? by jmoore(m): 3:44pm On Aug 31, 2014 |
God owns all of us, that's why he is a jealous God when he sees humans worshipping other gods. If a husband sees another man flirting with his wife, he is right to be jealous, for only he has the right to flirt with his wife.[Note: This doesn't not apply to boyfriend and girlfriend relationship] If it doesn't belong to you, then you have no right to be jealous. Infact, you are exhibiting envy. More>> The Bible makes it clear that God is not like humans in that He never commits sins, but is absolutely holy.1 However, English translations of the Hebrew scriptures say that God is jealous. Both the Old Testament2 and New Testament3 say that jealousy is a bad thing. In fact, jealousy is listed as one of the sins that will land a person in hell.4 So, if God is jealous and jealousy is a sin, then God must be the divine hypocrite. 2 Likes |

Answer: When we use the word “jealous,” we use it in a sense of being envious of someone who has something we do not have. This kind of jealousy is a sin and is not characteristic of a Christian; rather, it shows that we are still being controlled by our own desires (1 Corinthians 3:3). Galatians 5:26 says, “Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.” 3 Likes |

Jealousy is a product of love...right?Before you turn the Scriptures upside down,I must explain some things; yes, God is jealous and His is a product of love. He wants us to serve Him and Him alone and none other. Just like we get involved with our partners and want them to love us alone. Your kind of jealous is not a product of love, it revolves around material things. You must understand the two. Material things are vain and as such, being jealous over them will only cause us to hate those who are succeeding while evil and hatred grows in our heart. Your jealous is not for a soul, rather, for material things. And do you know what we call them? COVETOUSNESS! #Shalom! 4 Likes |

Jealousy is a complex emotion that encompasses many different kinds of feelings[p/b] that range from [b]fear of abandonment to rage to humiliation. Jealousy can strike both men and women when they perceive a third-party threat to a valued relationship, it can be a problem among siblings competing for parental attention, or envy for a wealthier more successful friend. http://m.psychologytoday.com/basics/jealousy |

A woman takes her 16-year-old daughter to the doctor. The doctor says, .......... "Okay, Mrs. James, what's the problem?" The mother says, "It's my daughter Darla. She keeps getting these cravings, she's putting on weight, and is sick most mornings." The doctor gives Darla a good examination, then turns to the mother and says, "Well, I don't know how to tell you this, but your Darla is pregnant- about 4 months, would be my guess." The mother says, "Pregnant?! She can't be, she has never ever been left alone with a man! Have you, Darla?" Darla replies, "No mother! I've never even kissed a man!" The doctor walked over to the window and just stares out it. About five minutes pass and finally the mother says, "Is there something wrong out there doctor?" The doctor replies, "No, not really, it's just that the last time anything like this happened, a star appeared in the east and three wise men came over the hill. I'll be damned if I'm going to miss it this time! ![]() 3 Likes 1 Share |

God is jealous when he sees the people he created worshipping other gods who are even nonexistent but being jealous because yourbrothet got something and you didn't is not only unholy but is bad and you are being unsettled because of a worldly item. It might even lead you into doing evil BTW i'm on FP. |
