A Jealous God: The Immutable Nature of Divine and Universal Law

A Jealous God: The Immutable Nature of Divine and Universal Law

When scripture says, "Our God is a jealous God" (Exodus 20:5, Deuteronomy 4:24), many take it to mean that God is emotionally possessive, like a human in love. But this is not about emotions. It is a statement about the immutable nature of God—a reflection of the unchanging, absolute laws of existence.

To understand this, consider gravity. Gravity is a jealous thing.

If you try to defy it, you will fall.

If you harness it correctly, you can fly.

If you ignore its laws, you will crash.

Gravity does not compromise. It does not make exceptions. It does not care if you are rich, poor, good, evil, strong, or weak. Its effects are consistent and universal.

The same is true for electricity. It is also a jealous thing.

If you respect its principles, it can illuminate cities.

If you manipulate it correctly, it powers machines, fuels industries, and enables technology.

But if you ignore its laws or misuse it, it will shock, burn, or kill you—without hesitation, without bias.

This is what divine jealousy means. It is not an emotion; it is the absolute, unwavering nature of the divine order.


The Consistency of Divine Law

God is a jealous thing because God is consistent, absolute, and unyielding. Just as the laws of physics do not bend for personal convenience, the divine order does not adjust itself to human preference.

Love has laws—when followed, it brings peace, connection, and wholeness. When violated, it leads to pain, suffering, and division.

Truth has laws—when honored, it reveals clarity and wisdom. When ignored, it breeds deception, confusion, and destruction.

Faith has laws—when embraced with sincerity, it transforms and uplifts. When used falsely, it leads to delusion, control, and spiritual emptiness.

This is why Jesus did not merely teach love, but also warned of consequences—because he understood that God is not just merciful, but also consistent.


Jesus as the Teacher of Divine Law

Just as science teaches us how to use gravity, electricity, and energy for our benefit, Jesus taught us how to navigate the laws of God. He was not merely a moral teacher; he was a guide to divine consistency—to how spiritual laws function just as surely as the laws of physics.

He taught that love is not just a feeling but a force—one that can transform, heal, and create life, but when rejected, leads to suffering.

He taught that faith is not passive but active—a force that directs our reality.

He taught that what you sow, you will reap—not as a punishment, but as a natural law.

Just as ignoring the law of gravity has consequences, so does ignoring the spiritual laws of God.

This is what it means for God to be a jealous thing.
Not because God is needy, insecure, or possessive, but because the divine reality is unchanging. God, like the fundamental forces of the universe, does not adjust to us; we must align ourselves with God.


Harnessing Divine Power

When humanity first discovered fire, we had to learn its nature. Fire does not discriminate—it can warm a home or burn it to the ground. It all depends on how it is used.

The same applies to all natural forces—electricity, nuclear energy, wind, water, and the sun. They do not grant power arbitrarily; their benefits are conditional on our understanding, respect, and correct application.

God is no different.

Align yourself with the divine order, and you will thrive.

Ignore the divine order, and you will struggle.

This is not about divine favoritism—it is simply about consistency.

This is why Jesus' teachings were not arbitrary rules but keys to a deeper reality. He taught us to work with God, not against God. He showed us how to align with the divine, just as science teaches us how to align with nature.


The Immutable Path

If you jump from a cliff, gravity will pull you down.
If you touch a live wire, electricity will course through you.
If you reject love, your life will be filled with suffering.
If you live in hatred, you will manifest darkness.

None of these are punishments; they are outcomes of immutable laws.

So when scripture says, "God is a jealous God," understand this:
It is not because God is petty.
It is because the divine laws cannot be ignored without consequence.

Align with them, and you will walk in light.

Reject them, and you will stumble in darkness.

God’s "jealousy" is not a restriction—it is a reminder of divine consistency. Just as fire, gravity, and electricity must be understood and respected to be harnessed, so must God.

And just as science has taught us to master the forces of the universe, Jesus taught us to master the forces of the divine.

The Problem with Religion: When Truth is Buried in Dogma Religion, at its core, contains truths that are consistent across all belief systems. These truths are expressions of energy seeking equilibrium, fundamental principles that transcend culture, time, and doctrine. But the same consistency that gives religion its validity is also what undermines it—because instead of embracing the universality of truth, religions often claim exclusivity, each believing itself to be the sole possessor of divine knowledge. This is where religion fails—not because it lacks truth, but because it buries truth beneath dogma, exclusivity, and fear. - The Universal Truths Across Religions If you want to bake a chocolate cake, it doesn’t matter what religion you follow. If you have the correct ingredients and follow the process, you will get a chocolate cake. The same is true for spiritual laws. Love leads to unity and peace. Hate leads to division and suffering. What you sow, you reap. Compassion heals; cr...

A Warning About Speaking to Children and the Vulnerable

A Warning About Speaking to Children and the Vulnerable One of the most sacred responsibilities we hold as human beings is the way we speak to children and vulnerable individuals—those who are still forming their sense of self, or who are in a position of dependence, sensitivity, or emotional fragility. Words spoken to children are not just heard—they are absorbed, internalized, and believed. Where an adult might hear criticism and filter it through reason, experience, or emotional boundaries, a child accepts your words as truth—especially if they come from a parent, teacher, religious leader, or anyone seen as an authority. To a child, your tone is not just sound—it is the voice of reality. Your praise becomes their confidence. Your criticism becomes their shame. Your encouragement becomes their belief in possibility. Your insults become who they think they are. If you call a child stupid, they will believe they are stupid. If you tell them they are worthless, they will carry that wei...

Science: The Divine Understanding of God's Laws of Creation

Science: The Divine Understanding of God's Laws of Creation Science is not the enemy of faith—it is its most precise language. Science is the divine understanding of God’s laws of creation. It is the human attempt to describe, measure, and participate in the consistent system that God—or That Which Is Greater Than Infinite—put into place. And yet, I find it fascinating, and troubling, that many people of faith want to place their religious texts into science classrooms. They insist the Earth is just a few thousand years old, that it was created in seven literal days, that modern humans lived side by side with dinosaurs. But they fail to recognize a simple truth: there was no science at the time those ancient texts were written. The people who wrote the earliest scriptures did not have the benefit of telescopes, microscopes, or equations. They didn’t understand atoms or galaxies or gravity. Everything unknown—every disease, every earthquake, every drought or lightning strike—was att...
