    You are still equivocating.

    That there is a misinterpretation of the word 'jealousy' in some instances does not resolve the God is love, love is not jealous contradiction, which I've already explained why.

    But just to reiterate, here is a definition of Love according to the Bible:

    "God is love." - 1 John 4:8
    "Love is not jealous." - 1 Corinthians 13:4
    "God is jealous." - Exodus 20:5

    Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.'' 1 Corinthians 13;


    The contradictions being:
    1) Love is patient, love is kind - in opposition to - He is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins. Joshua 24:19

    2) It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. - in opposition to - "The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man, He shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: He shall cry, yea roar; He shall prevail against His enemies". Isaiah 42:13

    3) It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs - in opposition to - Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them. Ezekiel 8:18

    4) Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth - in opposition to - Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them. Ezekiel 8:18

    5) It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres - in opposition to - Whatever the Lord pleases, He does, In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps.” (Psalm 135 and
    Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?" (Amos
    3:6, KJV)


    None of these are an example of a 'God of Love' nor support the notion of 'good jealousy' which is an error of interpretation that means ''fiery passion'' and/or 'impassioned' - an error in the in the Bible of itself.

    An error that does nothing resolve the contradiction between a 'God of Love,' the given description of love and descriptions of the nature ad character of God as a truly jealous, vengeful, vindictive entity....fortunately an imaginary entity.
