[QUOTE="WhoIsLikeGod?, post: 73079166, member: 410048"] Actually, the word "jealous" in Deuteronomy 4:24 means 1. to be jealous of; 2. to be envious of; 3. to be zealous for; or 4. to excite to jealous anger. I'm using Strong's Concordance. Even if you use zealous as the root, please look at the cause for which God is jealous: making idols to worship. I find it hard to believe that God would be a "passionate" consuming fire from us making idols to worship, when the word "jealous" is explicitly used. The way this is stated in the Bible, this would mean that God envies the idols, but it would seem that if he truly loved us, he would not. It would not matter that elsewhere in the Bible it says that carving an image is a sin, because the Bible already seems to have a contradiction, which in itself contradicts 2 Timothy 3:16, which says, "All Scripture[I] [/I]is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness."
