Since the fall in Genesis there has been a war between the two kingdoms, there are only two kingdoms, by default of being born in sin we belong to the adversary until we accept Christ, be born again and Holy Spirit filled, and find and walk out His plan for our lives, then we can be a part of His Kingdom as we move into becoming conformed to the Image of the Son.
There is no middle ground, there are no other "issues", we are either walking out His plan and commands or the enemies.
Of course it could be defiance, duh, we either humble ourselves before Him, or we belong to the enemy.
