God is indeed a jealous God --
He cannot bear to see
That we had rather not with Him
But with each other play.

God is a jealous God it says so in the Bible. Exodus 34:14 Do not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

I KNOW that my God is NOT a jealous God.. He takes pride in his creations and IS NOT jealous of them in any way.. Because he made us in his image.. There is NOTHNG for him to envy.
