association of other false deities besides Him
Hey, Mohammed (you're all named Mohammed, right?), did it ever occur to you that the true God would not be jealous? A jealous god is jealous of something -- he is jealous that his stooges in this world are turned away from him and are worshipping another god or goddess. Such jealousy is not fitting or proper for the true God. It is beneath him. Use your brain for more than a prayer pillow, Mohammed.
Respectfully, the translation of the word jealous from Greek isn't at all God telling you that he has human emotions.
He is telling you that you're doomed if you take another obviously false deity besides him. The connotation of "jealously" is only because of its English context. It does not carry this fickle meaning in Greek.
God is telling you plainly that he will not accept it. You cannot do it. You can't make up and attribute characteristics of the one who was never made, and the one who will never die, to false deities.
Also, Jesus prostrated in the garden the same way Muslims pray according to Christian sources. I wouldn't mock it.
