Oprah and a Jealous God
Mark Coppenger writes on the jealousy of God, in the context of Oprah’s problem with it.
So, then, how could you feel comfortable with a jealous God? Well, a little more theology could help. When you learn that God is all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-good, then you realize that the Lord cannot be afflicted with insecurity, suspicion and selfishness — factors that poison human jealousy. It’s quite plain that something nobler is at work in the case of God, to whom all honor is obviously due. His jealousy is a matter of righteous indignation.
