I cannot help but get extremely annoyed when people misquote/misinterpret the Bible into their own meaning. While researching New Age religions/beliefs for my research paper I came upon multiple misinterpretations of passages out of the Bible. One thing I cam across was on “YouTube” about the Church of Oprah. Yup, she even has her own cultish following/religion. She claims her “enlightenment” came when she was listening to her preacher and he said “the Lord thy God is a jealous God.” This saying can be found in multiple passages throughout the bible such as Exodus 20:5 and 34:14, Deuteronomy 6:15 and 32:16, Joshua 24:19 and so on. She then states that she thought “God is jealous of me?” No Oprah, God is in no way jealous of a human such as yourself or anyone else on this planet you are an idiot and should have turned to the Bible to understand what is meant by God being a “jealous God.”
God is simply “jealous” of time that we give to other things other than him. This is very clear to see if the time is taken to read the verses in context. For example, say your significant other is always hanging out with their friends, watching tv, going out with other people, would you not be upset? Are you actually jealous of those people meaning that you want to be them? The answer is no, you are jealous of the time they spend with other people and other things rather than yourself. This type of jealousy is not a sin and is completely natural to anyone. Oprah has now infected millions with her lies and I can only hope that Americans are smart enough not to fall trap.
