God as a Fundamentalist or Literalist

A very lovely woman (whom I respect, but with whom I never could agree in terms of her religious beliefs) posted the following on Facebook today:

God is the same yesterday, today, & tomorrow. Hebrews 13:8
God exiled the nation of Israel for practicing pagan with holy things of God. Jeremiah 29:4-14
Today many professing Christians do the same.
What makes believers think God has changed His mind about mixing of the profane with the holy. Ezekiel 22:6
Open your eyes & come out of the lies the devil has deceived you with. Know the truth. Revelation 18:4

From my recollection of the Old and New Testament, these are not precise quotes... must be something a 'preacher' put together for a sermon or homily.  Nonetheless...

My first thought was: And I suppose you guys don't mix dairy or meat either!  She is not Jewish.  She is a Christian and yet the quote from Jeremiah is Jewish.  Why do people from ANY religion continue to believe that God is a literalist or fundamentalist?  What language does He/She/It speak???
