Everyone seems to be a spiritualist in this country, brains are used no more. Mother setting daughter on fire with the belief of burning out the witch in her, grown up man slapping a minor, and majority sees nothing wrong with it. |

Bvsteph: Lol. ok. But it's ok to love my boyfriend so much that i get jealous if he looks at another right?Sure, because that in itself, is a product of love. |

Bvsteph: 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? it is a product of love when it is positive I.e when it seek the face and not selfish or self will, but, it is not a product of love when it seek the downfall of another. Bvsteph: 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? right Bvsteph:the jealous in a love affair of two kind 1. bodily jealous: I.e jealous based on lust and not love. is the type that do not want to be repaid back in the same coin he/she sold out. the man who perpetrate evil by sword will scream when he sees another person holding sword. 2. the agape jealous: jealous that is not destructive but constructive and always positive. so by now you know the type of jealous that breaks a relationship. |

Jealousy is normal just like every other emotion. It's the expression of it that can make someone do what can be termed as sinful. |
Re: I'm Jealous! So What?? by Bvsteph: 4:34pm On Aug 31, 2014 |
Thanks! makes lots of sense! One more question though,you talked about it being wrong between boyfriend and girlfriend, don't u think u r referring to "under ideal situation?" So if you do get jealous over ur girlfriend/fiancee ...that's a sin? jmoore: |

Jealousy has nothing to do with religion. It is an individual thing. |
Re: I'm Jealous! So What?? by Nobody: 5:19pm On Aug 31, 2014 |
There's something called 'godly jealousy' (2nd Corinthians 11:2).. Any other jealousy could be sin |

Jealousy begets envy and envy begets bitterness and bitterness begets hatred and hatred begets wickedness. And finally wickedness brings destruction of the virtues of life. |

If God himself can be a jealous God, who are we as humans not to be jealous |
Re: I'm Jealous! So What?? by DaBullIT(m): 7:00pm On Aug 31, 2014 |
Nice writeup good question but you can't compare spirit with human . God is a spirit , Man is human , you can't compare the moral of the almighty with human morals. Most humans are jealous for stupid human emotions God does not have those selfish human feelings Finally asking why God can be jealous and you can't implies that you and God are on the same level , equals , mates and God hates that |
Re: I'm Jealous! So What?? by AdeniyiA(m): 7:12pm On Aug 31, 2014 |
Envy and Jealousy have to be properly differentiated here. Jealousy is often expressed concerning/towards whom you truly loves but shares his/her love with someone or something else. OR what you own nd truly love but does not appreciate your commitments attracts jealousy. But is envy, if not contained within acceptable levels could be dangerous nd deadly. it entails wishing someone or something that belongs to another to be yours at all cost... |

Re: I'm Jealous! So What?? by Nobody: 7:28pm On Aug 31, 2014 |
Bin jealous is a feeling..what matters is the way u control ur self 1 Like |
Re: I'm Jealous! So What?? by Bvsteph: 7:38pm On Aug 31, 2014 |
We are all spirit beings, created in God's own image and likeness. Infact what is unseen is more real than the physical bodies we are seeing right now. Am in no way saying am equals with God. But the bible says, "Be ye holy as I am holy" We are supposed to take God as our example and walk in his steps...that's like where am coming from DaBullIT: Nice writeup good question but you can't compare spirit with human . |

Jealousy is a product of love...right?no! You are not to be jealous, pple who exhibit such trait and its likes will not inherit heaven (Gal 5: 19-21). If you start to think abt what other people have that you are yet to have, then start praising God who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all you can ask or think according to the power that works in you( Eph 3:20). Refuse to be jealous! |

What about the jealousy that makes a wife go through her husband's phone and facebook and then deletes his ex numbers or annoying facebook or whatsapp messages? Is it okay to protect your husband from female admirers when you feel he might fall for their messages and calls? |
