Wanna fight?

Do you really want to pick a fight with God? Do you want God opposing you?

The idea of adultery here is very old, throughout the Old Testament God compares the actions of God's people to an adulterer. He says in many of places in the Bible that by worshipping false gods and ignoring him and his commands (laws that were given for their own good) they were acting like adulterers. Their actions, thoughts, expenditures, and philosophies made it obvious they were unfaithful in their relationship with God. Their hearts were sleeping around and in fact rarely if ever coming home. They counted on the pay-check of God and raved about the sex they were having with an inflatable doll. That's the heart situation Paul is referring to. I know in effect even I have taken God for granted, dabbled with an affair of self worship and the porn of materialism. All the while God is a faithful lover of my soul. That's what the friendship - enemy thing is about.
