Bible Content 2

Apologies, I have my wires slightly crossed as I didnt intend to project my opinion at all. I thought the Bible described God as jealous in that section. Its about a year since I read it, it turns out the 'jealous' bit is in the 10 commandments.

I think my points are still valid, but now separate:
1)Omnipotent and jealous??
2)The origin of language thing sounds a bit silly

Again I suppose that depends on your view of God.

I'm not a biblical scholar by any means, and am still "out" on this and other old testament statements. However I do think that we should read the Bible as literature taking into account the style, and context that the author is/was using.
