Are you Jewish? For that is Judaism you stated above. The Second Coming of Jesus will be the first for you.
There are many, many definitions of Christianity, but usually just one per sect.

I am quoting or at least paraphrasing God, not speaking for him. You elevate yourself to God when you do that. Satan did that too.

24For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.
If this is explicitly true than I am fucked. I draw, therefore I make many graven images and likenesses of many things. But, again, the law was fulfilled through Jesus, if you believe in Him, which I do, so I choose to follow the Ten Commandments because I want to, not because it is an edict. I honor my mother and father (God rest his soul), I sure as hell haven't killed anyone, I don't always remember the Sabbath since Jesus both worked and taught on the Sabbath and admonished those who tried to punish others for working on the Sabbath...I could go on and on.

How do you know you are really quoting God? All evidence points to the so called word of God being entirely written by men. so you are quoting men and claiming you are quoting God. To be on the safe side you should alway preface such statements with "According to the Bible..."

None of that counters God being jealous though....and you're forgetting Luke 19:27. "Bring them hither and slay them before me."

In my opinion sometimes more of the mans mind get's through than God's message. Don't you think slaying mine enemies (God's, that is) runs counter to Jesus' teachings of forgiveness?
