Relational idolatry
Two ways in which idolatry manifests itself in human relationships:
1. Demanding of other people what God does not require of them (“I will carve you into this or that form of what I want”).
2. Expecting of other people what God does require of them, but without joyfully bearing, believing, hoping, and enduring all things in the meantime (“you will become this or that right now, or you will know my displeasure”).
