[quote:Anonymous Coward 26268975:MV8yMTMwNjkwXzM1OTU5MzUyX0IzN0RFRUVG] [quote:Mr. HypGnostic:MV8yMTMwNjkwX0JEOEU1RkU1] Here is a Bible verse in the Old Test that says God is a jealous God: Exodus 20:5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God [/quote] Jer 10:11 Tell them this: ‘These gods, who did not make the heavens and the earth, will perish from the earth and from under the heavens.’12But God made the earth by his power;he founded the world by his wisdom and stretched out the heavens by his understanding. 13When he thunders, the waters in the heavens roar; he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth. He sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses ... 16 he is the Maker of all things, including Israel, the tribe of his inheritance—the Lord Almighty is his name.

Here is a Bible verse in the New Test that says love is not jealous: 1 Corinthians 13:4 Love is patient. Love is kind. Love isn't jealous. It doesn't sing its own praises. It isn't arrogant.
Here is a Bible verse in the New Test that says God is love: 1 John 4:8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
Here is a Bible verse in the Old Test that says God is a jealous God: Exodus 20:5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God
How do you explain that contradiction? Love is not supposed to be jealous, yet God is a jealous God. Why does his word contradict itself on this topic?
