Today,
reply is on divine grace, the holy name, and the reputation of
divinity as Jealous. No gods actually exist, however, the operations
of sin may dominate consciousness and self-will within created beings
and living creatures such that they become corrupted and consumed.
Like forbearance, forgiveness, grace, and restraint, divine jealousy
appears in line with the personhood whereby the Creator continues
communication, exchange, and ongoing relationship within the Godhead,
and throughout the universe. For mankind, jealousy is to be
acknowledged as a manifestation of divinity in a process of crafting
relationship, and is more than an expression of human emotion and
inordinate affection. Divine character and the wrath of GOD are not
directed against created beings and living creatures so much as
against all transgressions of sacred law; idolatry; extending to
man-made objects glory, praise, and worship belonging to GOD; and the
practice of worship to graven images, false gods, or devils and
beings lesser than the divine fullness (we say, the Godhead; the
Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit). The jealousy of GOD must exist
because GOD is the summation of all divine substance. Despite being
deposited within multiple physical and visible forms, the existence,
life, and spirit substance throughout Creation remain an inseparable
aspect of GOD; and GOD will be active and responsive to his own
content unlimited by time and space. What some call “the doing”
is not our believing, our paying the mortgage, our getting the kids
to school on time; rather, “the doing” is judgment, redemption,
resurrection, salvation, and the second death.
It is written: Ezekiel 39: 24-29, King James Version (KJV): 24
According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions
have I done unto them, and hid my face from them. 25 Therefore thus
saith the Lord GOD;
Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon
the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name; 26
After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses
whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in
their land, and none made them
afraid. 27 When I have brought them again from the people, and
gathered them out of their enemies’
lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations; 28
Then shall they know that I am
the LORD
their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the
heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left
none of them any more there. 29 Neither will I hide my face any more
from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel,
saith the Lord GOD.

Is
GOD a jealous GOD because HE finds it insulting when we "DO"
because after Holy Spirit baptism; it's HIS JOB to do all the
"DOINGS"?
Update:
EXODUS 20:5 SAYS
"GOD
IS A JEALOUS GOD" AND WE KNOW THAT HE DOESN'T WANT US WORSHIPING
OTHER GODS BUT SINCE HE MADE HIMSELF AVAILABLE TO US (JOHN 14:18) TO
"DWELL IN US" (ROMANS 8:9) AFTER THE CROSS OR AFTER HOLY
SPIRIT BAPTISM (ACTS 1:5) BY WHICH IT BECOMES "GOD WORKING IN
US" (PHILIPPIANS 2:13) DO YOU THINK HE IS JEALOUS IF WE TRY AND
HELP HIM (ACTS 17:23-25)?
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: God that made the world and all things therein, seeing
that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made
with hands; Neither is worshipped with men’s
hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life,
and breath, and all things; And hath made of one blood all nations
of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined
the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
(Acts 17: 24-26, King James Version, KJV)
THE
DOUBLE DAGGER: They Forgot His Name (08/11/2019); That GOD Is Judge
(11/01/2018); Transgression of Sacred Law? (10/25/2018); We Call Him
Jealous? (10/25/2015); Divine Jealousy? (09/11/2015); How Was GOD
Known Before Jesus? (10/06/2012); Jesus, King of Earth? (10/07/2012)
“norine”,
among mature Christian believers, jealousy is an inseparable aspect
within the full makeup of divinity (we also say, the Godhead; the
Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit). Jealousy exists as spirit
substance within the divine fullness along with faith, holiness,
impartiality, longsuffering, lovingkindness, personhood,
righteousness, wisdom, and wrath against sin. With or without the
existence of mankind, jealousy will exist through the active
presence who is GOD. Jealousy pertains to accountability within
the relationships of the Creator and the created, and to the fullness
of commitment by divinity. The jealousy expressed by divinity is a
response to human errors and idolatry, violations of covenant, and
transgressions of sacred law, rather than a human reaction to
betrayal in a love relationship. Jealousy appears on the basis of
lawful dominion, ownership, and the imperatives of sovereign rule by
GOD. Consider again the following that uses language from the Bible:
1.
Ephesians 2: 8-10, King James Version (KJV): 8 For by grace are ye
saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the
gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we
are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which
God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
2.
Romans 11: 5-6, KJV: 5 Even so then at this present time also
there is a remnant according to the election of grace. 6 And if by
grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no
more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace:
otherwise work is no more work.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, 3. Romans 10: 1-9, KJV: 1 Brethren, my
heart’s desire and prayer to God
for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record
that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For
they being ignorant of God’s
righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness,
have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For
Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one
that believeth. 5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of
the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. 6
But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say
not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring
Christ down from above:) 7 Or, Who shall descend into the
deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) 8 But what
saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy
heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 That if thou
shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in
thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be
saved.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto
you according to your faith.
