Another question about religion and God

Having a c3 sticker on your $40,000 suv allows you to do and say what you want and you can't question them or their God...they're always right !!!

 

You seem to only be interested in talking about c3 in every religion thread, this had nothing to do with c3 you just know if you don't say something then no one will notice you. and so what if he has a 40,000 SUV, heres a question did you sell that car to him do you know what he paid for it, if he traded anything in for it, if its used???

 

We shouldn't covet what others have. I think it is natural to feel jealous, just be mindful of how you handle that feeling. Come on, God wants us all to Himself. He created us to love and to love Him, He just wants a relationship with us. He said we shouldn't put anything before Him.

 

Thanks, I thought so!

 

It is not natural to feel jealousy, not if you are a true Christian, not if you have "the holy spirit". You should only feel love. Jealousy is the opposite of love, is it not? Did Jesus ever act on jealousy? Ghandhi? Mother Theresa?

God jealous? Bwahahahahahahah!!!

 

Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
Genesis 20:4

 

Exodus 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; ------Why is God a jealous God?"

Answer: It is important here to understand how the word jealous is used. How it used in Exodus 20:5 to describe God is different from how it is used to describe the sin of jealousy (Galatians 5:20). When we use the word jealous, we use it in the sense of being envious of someone who has something we don't have. A person might be jealous or envious of another person because he or she has a nice car or home (possessions). Or a person might be jealous or envious of another person because of some ability or skill that other person has (such as athletic ability). Another example would be that one person might be jealous or envious of another because of his or her beauty.

When we look at this verse, we find that it is not that God is jealous or envious because someone has something He wants that He does not possess. Exodus 20:4-5 says, "You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God..." Notice that in this verse God is talking about being jealous if someone gives something that belongs to Him to another.

In these verses, God is speaking of people making idols and bowing down and worshiping those idols instead of giving God the worship that belongs to Him alone. God is possessive of the worship and service that belong to Him. It is a sin (as God points out in this commandment) to worship or serve anything other than Him. So, in summary, it is a sin when we desire, or we are envious, or we are jealous of someone because he has something that we do not have. It is a different use of the word jealous when God says He is jealous. What He is jealous for belongs to Him; worship and service belong to Him alone, and are to be given to Him alone.

Perhaps a practical example will help us to understand the difference. If a husband sees another man flirting with his wife, he is right to be jealous, for only he has the right to flirt with his wife. This type of jealousy is not sinful. Rather, it is entirely appropriate. Being jealous for something that belongs to you is good and appropriate. Jealousy is a sin when it is a desire for something that does not belong to you. Worship, praise, honor, and adoration belong to God alone, for only He is truly worthy of it. Therefore, God is rightly jealous when worship, praise, honor, or adoration is given to idols. This is precisely the jealousy the Apostle Paul described in 2 Corinthians 11:2, "I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy..."

 

yeah, god was really ****ed in the old testament. he smote alot of people back then..

 

God has emotions just as we do, after all we were made in the image of God. God is Righteous and therefore cannot use His emotions for evil. So if God is Jealous it is righteous for Him to be so.

 

LOL !! oh did I strike a nerve ....no I just got treated bad at C3 ..This person had a C3 sticker on their car and also one that says God doesn't believe in atheist,must have been you or one of your cult members why don't you find out who it is and question them...it doesn't matter they're always right and you can't say anything about them without getting attacked back by "christians" I think it's HILARIOUS and will continue to do so ..thinking of starting my own thread about it just.Just for fun ! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Don't know, don't care. He said He was, that's good enough for me.

He wasn't all that much better in the New Testament either. No, He didn't smite as many people, but He was still just as impatient.

Forget, for a moment, the time He lost it in the Temple, check out Matthew 21:18-20 and Mark 11:12-14. Jesus was walking down the road and feeling a might peckish. He looked and saw a fig tree. Even though He knew it was not the time for figs, He looked and found no figs (of course), so He cursed the fig tree causing it to wither and die. Yeah, a real patient God there.

 

wow that's a huge leap of faith right there



leap of faith, get it?

 

Jesus being God created the fig tree, so Jesus as God could destroy it.

 

I have a quote for you too...

And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
Matthew 10:14

 

That may be true. The problem was not that He destroyed it. The problem is why He destroyed it.

 

Will someone please tell me what c3 is and where.

 

That was a great movie.
