refused mingled drink offered? Eg: Revelation 3:16
So then because thou art lukewarm,
and neither cold nor hot,
I will spue thee out of my mouth.

Eg: Matthew 6:24 (Luke 16:13)
No man can serve two masters:
for either he will hate the one, and love the other;
or else
he will hold to the one, and despise the other.
Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Eg: Matthew 7:18 (Luke 6:43)
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit,
neither [can] a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

Eg: Matthew 12:33
Either make the tree good, and his fruit good;
or else
make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt:
for the tree is known by [his] fruit.

Eg: Mark 15:23
they gave him to drink
wine mingled with myrrh:
but he received [it] not.

So, is this allegory for don't mix grace + law,
since they are contrary things, and if mixed
become as if blessed + cursed = accursed;
For if grace always is, and law was added,
the only plausible mixture is grace + law,
which can also be as life + death = dead.
