Jealousy????????????

Question

So let's say you were a Christian, and there was a girl that you really liked. You found out she was going out with some other guy. So if you felt jealous about it, would you need to pray and ask for forgiveness?

I just don't understand. Isn't it natural to feel jealous? When you find your gf/bf flirting with someone else, you're not supposed to be jealous?

Answer 1

nothing wrong with some jealousy,however it isn't natural being jealous over someone who already has a partner. after all,it's not your place to be jealous if you get my meaning.  

Answer 2

We all have those feelings, Christian or not.  Jealously was shown in the Bible with Cain and Able.  Cain was jealous of Abel's sacrifice to God, so he murdered him.  We have to keep these emotions in check, so we don't do crazy things.  People do alot of weird things when they get jealous.  This is the reason behind needing Jesus, to keep us in check and free us from the very things that control us.  When you feel jealous, just repent and ask The Holy Spirit to cleanse you.  He will and as time goes on you will feel less jealous in all situations.

Answer 3

Christian are seriously suppose to not feel jelous. I don't think so. Jealousy is a perfectly normal human emotion, and if god made us he would of be well aware of it and accepted it.
