can God be jealous?

[asubmitter]

I never thought of God as being jealous, I always believed the words of the Quran, 'to God belong the most beautiful names.' and jealousy does not seem to befit God. I know it appears in the Bible, but years of manipulation, alterations and fabrications means who knows what the true scripture once said, whether it pointed to the jealousy of the Jews or of God. Who knows, but I am afraid of saying God is jealous. I do not want to incur wrath. It is a bias argument what we have of the Old Testament, I do not know what is the word of God or the word of rabbis and priests who came after. A working example is the changing of Ishmael from the sacrifice which was inspired by Satan, and which God nullified, because God cannot advocate sin. This has been proven see the following concerning whether God commanded the sacrifice of Ismael or not.

I cannot find the source concerning whether it was Ishmael or Isaac who was sacrificed, I have come across it though.

This is what wikipedia says concerning the sacrifice

The Qur'an does not specify whether it was Ishmael or Isaac whom Abraham was ordered to sacrifice, yet many interpreters believe it was Ishmael. This is not unanimous among interpreters of the Qur'an. Among the evidence offered for this position are two arguments

1. Muslims note that the text of Genesis, despite specifying Isaac, appears to state that Abraham was told to sacrifice his only son to God.
   Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of
   ?Genesis/Bereshith 222
   Since Isaac was Abraham's second son, there was no time at which he would have been Abraham's "only son", and that this supports the Muslim belief that there was an original text that must have named Ishmael rather than Isaac as the intended sacrifice.
2. The Qur'an states that when angels visited Abraham's house, they told him and his wife that they would have a son, Isaac, and that Isaac would have Jacob as a son. So Abraham had a divine promise that Isaac's life is guaranteed.

I think what might have occurred, is something of political correctness but not being weary of angering God but of clearing any misdemeanors that occurred by the Children of Israel. Moses was the son of the daughter of Levi, who was older than Joseph, how then can the Bible say they were in Egypt for 430 years, should it not be 250 years maximum.

Jesus , son of Mary was a descendent of Aaron, not David, they only try and put the son of David, and the Messiah as one, and think son of David means a direct descendent. We will see.

Praise be to God, Lord of the universe.

Whatever God wills rather than jai sera sera whatever will be will be

No one possesses power except God

Then find the beauty out of this term "jealousy" rather than rubbishing it as a term and thus it becoming abandoned by us.

The word stems from the French jalousie, formed from jaloux (jealous), and further from Low Latin zelosus (full of zeal), in turn from the Greek word (zlos), sometimes "jealousy", but more often in a positive sense "emulation, ardour, zeal"(with a root connoting "to boil, ferment"; or "yeast&quot.
