Mixture

In the Bible, the term "mixture" can have both literal and metaphorical meanings, often signifying a combination of different elements that can lead to both positive and negative outcomes. Literally, the concept of mixture appears in various contexts, such as in food and offerings. For instance, in Leviticus 2:11, God commands that no grain offering should be made with leaven or honey, indicating a separation of certain elements in worship practices. This reflects the idea that purity and holiness are essential in offerings to God, emphasizing that certain mixtures are unacceptable.Metaphorically, "mixture" can denote the blending of different beliefs or practices that may compromise spiritual integrity. In 2 Corinthians 6:14-17, Paul warns against being unequally yoked with unbelievers, highlighting the dangers of mixing faith with secular or contrary ideologies. This call to maintain spiritual purity mirrors Old Testament admonitions against mixing the sacred with the profane (e.g., Deuteronomy 22:9). Thus, while the concept of mixture can denote a blending of elements, it often serves as a cautionary reminder about the importance of maintaining distinctiveness in faith and practice.

In this sermon, the speaker criticizes the use of motivational psychology in churches, referring to it as "pop psychology" and "masturbating as biblical doctrine." He specifically mentions instances where people imitate animals or act drunk in the name of spirituality, warning against the mixing of psychology and spirituality. The speaker also discusses the unethical nature of hypnotic induction used by certain religious figures, citing examples of Rodney Howard Brown and Benny Hinn.

Kenyon and his followers, who claim that Jesus died spiritually and was tortured in hell before being born again and rising from the dead.
