A Jealous God is Offensive

"A Jealous God is Offensive"

Our Gods are not Jealous(pw = pagan word   see: Sunday Worship Terms )
seen on a pagan website (patheos.com/blogs/voodoouniverse)

The pagan and atheistic world tries to make the Almighty Creator of the bible, Yahuah who we serve appear as somehow offensive when He states:

Deu 5:9  Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I Yahuah יהוה  thy Elohim am a jealous Elohim (pw God), visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,

We will examine this in detail. These accusations against Yahuah of being evil or even more ridiculous, of being a "sinner" (torah transgressor) are laughable to say the least since Yahuah is the source of the Torah itself and the Creator of everyone. Some of these accusations have come from atheists as well as celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey.

Yahuah is perfect and cannot "sin". 

Jas 1:13  Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of Elohim (pw God): for Elohim (pw God) cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

What is more laughable and ironic is that pagans will say they serve idols because they do not approve of  Yahuah who they call a  "jealous God" . Yahuah is not even a "god" in the first place.

What Makes Yahuah Jealous?

Well, that is the very reason why Yahuah is "jealous" in this very context here in Deuteronomy 5. He hates those who worship idols which have no ears or eyes and cannot talk. It is an insult to him as the Creator who wants a relationship with us. It would be the same ridiculous scenario as a husband who buys himself a blow up doll and sits and talks to this doll and says he does not want to talk to his wife now because she is jealous of his doll and therefore evil.

But we will have to accept the madness of the world and those in it. We must remember that the Creator is always wrong and all of man is right, that is, in the eyes of the humanist at least.

Zec 1:14  So the malak (pw angel) that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith Yahuah of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.

Jealousy Versus Jealousy

We see how Yahuah is specifically greatly jealous over his chosen people at Jerusalem and for his chosen headquarters upon earth - Zion. This does 'nt refer to secular Zionism at all but to the place where true Torah obedient Yahudeem (pw Jews) will convert and serve Yahuah through redemption in their Mashiak Yahushua. Now we know what much of the wicked world's reaction is to that don't we? This is not jealousy but rather jealousy.

So, what am I saying? Well, the definition of jealousy has several meanings so which jealousy are we referring to? :


1) feeling or showing an envious resentment of someone or their achievements, possessions, or perceived advantages.
eg "she was always jealous of me"

2) feeling or showing a resentful suspicion that one's partner is attracted to or involved with someone else.
eg "a jealous husband"

3) fiercely protective of one's rights or possessions.
eg "the men were proud of their achievements and jealous of their independence"

(ref: Oxford  languages)


 Well, the antisemitic is jealous as it refers to definition (1). They want to wipe Jerusalem off the map. When it comes to Yahuah and his chosen people and his believers of all nations and tongue who have made covenant with Him and obey him and who have been redeemed, the word jealous refers to definition (3). When it comes to a jealous husband we see that the definition does not fall into definition (2) but still applies to (3), we are a chosen people of Yahuah who he fiercely protects.

1Pe 2:9  But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a kodesh (morally pure) nation, a peculiar people;

2Co 11:2  For I am jealous over you with Yah-like (pw godly) jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband (Mashiak), that I may present you as a pure virgin to Mashiak  (pw Christ).

There are those who try to make out that Apostle Shaul (Paul) invented a religion called Christianity, a religion that replaces an evil "God" of the "Old Testament" who is supposedly jealous (definition 1) and thus must be evil. These Marcionists have great difficulty with that theory. Apostle Shaul never ever preached such a thing.  Here in Rom 7:4 above he said he is following that same jealous Elohim (definition 3). (See  Do You Really Want to be Called a Christian ).

So Apostle Shaul (Paul) referred to this jealousy (definition 3) of Yahuah in the Renewed Convenant ( pw New Testament) and explained he has the same jealousy for the assembly of believers as Yahuah does. He has jealousy over them (a will to fiercely protect and defend them from false religion and apostasy). Yahuah is not jealous (definition 1) since as we said earlier :

Jas 1:13...for Elohim (pw God) cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

Those who make the accusation that Yahuah is jealous (definition 1) are merely projecting their own sinful (torah transgressing), tempted fleshly hearts onto a righteous and pure Elohim. Those of us who are redeemed are dead to the law of torah transgression and clearly see the positive jealousy of Yahuah (definition 3).

Rom 7:4  Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law (of torah transgression) by the body of Mashiak (pw Christ); that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto Elohim (pw God).

Yahuah is jealous for every soul and wants every soul to be saved through his Son' s blood which redeems us from our torah transgressions so that we can be made spiritually pure (righteous virgins) that are no longer going after idols and false religion and no longer transgressing torah, to loyally serve him alone. Of course while Yahuah does not want anyone to perish most choose to follow what will destroy them, Satan.

These spiritual virgins are referred to in Revelations.

Rev 14:4  These are they which were not defiled with women (false religions/ idols); for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto Elohim (pw God) and to the Lamb.

who changed the law

These were not spiritual virgins from the beginning because all of us have transgressed Torah and come short of Yahuah's standard, these are they who have since been  redeemed by the blood of the Lamb and made spiritually pure virgins.

Julia Sweeney in her "Letting Go of God" act makes a lot of mockery about this verse while rolling her eyes. She does not have any spiritual understanding after being some time in the Catholic church prior to becoming an atheist. The Cahtolic church is after all  the very Mother of Harlots (spiritual idolatry). It is thus no wonder that her spiritually blind, unsaved, paid Catholic cleric "Father" Tom ( Bible says call no man "Father" except Yahuah) could not give her the correct answers and gladly led her towards atheism.

The pope himself does not like the jealous bit about Yahuah and idol worship that is why he removed the command not to make, worship and bow to idols. The pope loves his idols too much, thus he has no authority to explain to people like Julia Sweeney why Yahuah is jealous as that would give away the pope's own spiritual whoring and his jealous resentment  (definition 1) towards Yahuah and His followers. This jealousy (definition 1) led the Catholic church to persecute, torture and kill so many.

The Catholic catechism version is merely "You shall not have strange Gods before me"

This does not say anything since Yahuah is not "God" and the term "God" is not strange, in fact it is generic to all religions that use such a pagan generic term as the "LORD" or "God". This is why the name Yahuah and His every command are so important to identify HIM and remain loyal to HIM alone.  (see His Name ).

The problem with Adam was that he was not having this Yah-like jealousy which Apostle Shaul emulated to protect his wife Eve from the Devil and this became  a torah transgression - eating what was forbidden. This was idolatry - serving Satan rather than Yahuah.

Feminists will protest today about this kind of jealousy because they want freedom to serve Satan, they want to enjoy unbridled "retail therapy" in the pantheon mall of idols.

Here is a a quote from a pagan feminist website (Sophia Goddess of Spirituality in Mature Women-Owlcation-Education)

"Leonard Shlain’s analysis in The Alphabet Verses The Goddess, says of the first commandment, “I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt have no other Gods before me.” This announces the disappearance of the goddess and declares that Yahweh will not tolerate any women... So it was a sin to make paintings or sculptures inspired by beauty and the power of nature or the feminine face or body."

This is the rubbish we have to listen to as if Yahuah was against women and or women idols alone where no such specific limitation was made. Yahuah does not want us to worship ANY idols and images, any pagan "mighty ones" PERIOD!

Pagan male idols/mighty ones:

Lev 18:21 You shall not give any of your offspring to offer them to Molech, nor shall you profane the name of your Elohim; I am Yahuah (יהוה ).

Judges 11:24 Do you not possess what Chemosh your god gives you to possess? So whatever the Lord our God has driven out before us, we will posses it.

Judges 16:23 Now the lords of the Philistines assembled to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god (fish tail ,male body, and to rejoice, for they said,

“Our god has given Samson our enemy into our hands.”

In these Yahuah specifically rebukes or mentions their mighty ones, worshiping female and male idols in one sentence:

2 Kings 17:16 They forsook all the commandments of Yahuah their Elohim and made for themselves molten images, even two calves, and made an Asherah (mother godess) and worshiped all the host of shamayim (pw heaven) and served Baal (male)

2 Kings 17:30 The men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth (female), the men of Cuth made Nergal (male), the men of Hamath made Ashima (possibly female)

2 Kings 17:31 and the Avvites made Nibhaz (dog-headed male ) and Tartak (an ass) ; and the Sepharvites burned their children in the fire to Adrammelech (male) and Anammelech (female) the gods of Sepharvaim. 

Isaiah 37:38 It came about as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch (male) his god, that Adrammelech (people named after a male god) and Sharezer his sons killed him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon his son became king in his place.

Those found in the Renewed Covenant (pw New Testament) include:

Acts 14:12 And they began calling Barnabas, Zeus/Jupiter (male), and Paul, Hermes/Mercury (male), because he was the chief speaker.

Acts 17:16-23 Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was being provoked within him as he was observing the city full of idols.

Apostle Shaul highlights where the core of idolatry resides - it is the lust of the stomach, a fear of hunger and lack of provision and a focus on material stuff :

Php 3:19  Whose end is destruction, whose mighty one (pw God) is their belly, and whose splendor (pw glory) is in their shame, who mind earthly things.

Biblical Conclusion

1 Corinthians 10:14 Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
Exodus 20:3 “You shall have no other gods before Me. (female, male, objects animals etc etc etc )
Deuteronomy 5:7 ‘You shall have no other gods before Me. (female, male, objects animals etc etc etc ).

 Erroneous Pagan Feminist Conclusion:

"It was the commandment of a jealous God, whose rival was a goddess"

ref: website:  Sophia Goddess of Spirituality in Mature Women-Owlcation-Education)

The spirit of feminism becomes clear. An unfounded jealousy (definition 1) against Yahuah  and the will to worship a so-called rival pagan female goddess. They thus project their own rivalry and jealousy (definition 1) onto Yahuah as if he is somehow able to stoop down to be jealous of women (real or sculptured idols) who are choosing to destroy themselves at judgement day.

This is the same spirit that resulted in the Mother of Harlots religion - Catholicism adopting the Sophia goddess which this website source is worshiping and which is none other than the Mary idol later made as "Mother of God". In this way the jealousy (definition 1) is manifested tryng to rival Yahuah's sovereignty and replace Him with a pagan entity which has a mother goddess over it.

Atheism, (rebellion against Yahuah) and feminism  (rebellion against Yahuah) working hand in hand against the so-called "Jealous God":

 [Richard ] Dawkins has said that feminism is "enormously important" and "a political movement that deserves to be supported"...
In a passage in "The God Delusion", Dawkins wrote about how he wished to mirror the successes of feminism in the atheist movement.
ref https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_views_of_Richard_Dawkins

FINAL CONCLUSION

Such a wilful rebellion to call Yahuah jealous and evil is merely an invention to justify a reason to worship idols and selfish lusts. Those who continue to worship such foolish inventions are headed for death and destruction which is nothing to be jealous of.
