Good question. The answer: No. Never. If you look up the original text of the word jealous in the OT (Hebrew) and the word jealous in the NT (Greek/Aramaic)you will find two different definitions. One is of a protective nature, not a sin, and the other is of a selfish nature, which is sin. The jealousy that God feels is the protective one. I looked up the definition in Webster’s dictionary and found a few meanings for jealous. The two that describe God’s position the best are: 1)intolerant of rivalry or unfaithfulness; 2)vigilant in guarding a possession. God hates Satan and everything evil so He can be intolerant of how we chase after anything that is sinful and evil. He also loves us so much, and since He can see what lies ahead of us in our lives, He only wants us to love and serve Him with our whole hearts so that we won’t hurt ourselves. As the loving Father He is, He only wants to guard us from sin and the hurt and pain that it causes us.

Could you please provide a brief synopsis of who, how and where this religion is practiced? Thanks.

For 6-7 years after Jesus was crucified his followers were called Disciples. It was in the city of Antioch where the non-followers first gave the disciples their new name. (The Bible, Acts 11:19-26). And it was a derogatory name at that, it did not conotate being a ‘good church-going person’ as some people think it does today. Jesus said it best when he said to the Jews who believed in him, ‘If you hold to my teachings, you are really my disciple. Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.’ (The Bible, John 8:31,32) Where do we find Jesus’ teachings? In the New Testament of the Bible. If someone wants to know how to perceive a ‘Christian’ they would need to study Jesus’s teachings, become his disciple and walk as he walked. If you meet someone who calls themselves a Christian and is not ‘holding’ to Jesus’s teachings, (thus living the life of a disciple), they probably are just a religious person at best and have not yet learned the truth that will set them free as Jesus talked about.
