Is there really a jealous GOD? Isn't jealousy a good thing? I mean how can God get jealous of HIS wondrous creations? Doesn't make sense to me a great fool!

God's is jealous, because his people is not worshiping him, the way he commanded them to do so. God's jealousy is different from the world's perspective. God is holy, perfect and just.

How would you feel, if you found out that you're girlfriend or boyfriend that you love so much has a lot of pictures and even images of your neighbor in his/her bedroom?

Does it makes sense now?

Does GOD has a "NEED" to be worshipped? Why?

According to the Bible, Jesus is author of Salvation

In Ephesians 2:8-9 NIV it says,
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.

In John 3:16 NIV it says,
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

John 14:6
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Hebrews 2:10
In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering.

Salvation is a gift of God through Jesus Christ, and there's no way we can earn it, not even our good works, it's freely given to those who believe (believing what Jesus Christ has done on the cross, and allowing Jesus to be the personal LORD of our life).

There's no other way in which you can attain salvation not in our good works, not in our talents, skills ability, not in religion and worst not in images carved by men. In John 14:6, Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. No one can come to the father, but except through him.

explain James 2:17-20 and Philippians 2:12


"James 2:17-20: Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? "


"Philippians 2:12- Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. "

Saving Faith(Genuine Faith) will cause us to obey what Jesus Christ has commanded us to do so. Will cause us to repent our sins.

John 3:16-18
16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[a] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.[b]

After we are saved? what now? What will do?

Ephesians 2:8-10
8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9not by works, so that no one can boast. 10For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

I've explain Philippians 2:12 in my previous posts.

For me, through faith and doing God's will.

"For those who believe in Buddha: be what Buddha wants."? Is that the same in saying "I don't need Jesus, I have Buddha"? or
For those who are in Satanic Cult: be what Satan wants?

In my post, I ended with "do a good deed, be good person". In which I believe that every religion teaches us. How come you included Satanic Cult out of your enumeration? Could you ever do something good if you are in a Satanic Cult? or are you implying that other religion are Satanic? Just clarifying.

Yes,

1 Timothy 4:1
The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.

Revelation 9:20
The rest of mankind that were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk.
