The Meaning of Spiritual Adultery
Commentators unanimously explain that the phrase "go a whoring" is a powerful metaphor for spiritual unfaithfulness. It describes a heart that seeks delight away from God, loving the world, riches, or self more than the Creator. John Calvin calls it dividing the heart so it is not fixed exclusively upon God, while Charles Spurgeon says it is being unfaithful to our marriage covenant with Him.
