If God is Perfect How Can He Be Jealous?

Just saying. If jealousy is a sin and God is perfect it states clearly in the Bible that God is a jealous God.

Using life as an example this would be the same as a parent that is abusive or negligent to their children has every right to be jealous if their offspring are taken away from them and began to love a different family?

It's obviously ridiculous. Typical mythological nonsense designed to control and terrify. Propaganda, if you think of it that way.

A jealous partner is a sure sign of emotional immaturity, what is really important if your partner flirts back and/or encourage the third party to continue flirting. As to God being jealous? Well that is just psycho - relationships are build on mutual understanding, and respect. And for that to work you need communication. Now there lies the rub: "God" does not really communicate to us. Feelings, and other holy men does not replace real one-on-one communication. Even a simple phone call is for some reason impossible for the all mighty God.

I have a little frame that says "fear is an illusion." How much fear is used (compared to "free" charity) to keep the illusionary faith (A giant leap of faith that is an illusion itself) in god by the "helpful church charity." Not believing means ... And does not confession make lies and sin redeemable there-by allowing in a sense liess and sin.

Oh then, I have trusted that church leaders were perverts in a minor imagination thought way. Oh no, I find evil and lies against children also need to be weighed with all "the good" church charities are credited.

One addd on

Dread is different than fear but people often say fear when they mean dread. It - my last post - should say how much fear or dread of fear is used by the church.
