On "mingling" - written by Bernard of Clairaux (A.D.1091 - 1153) [my bolding]
He was also the author of the lyrics to the classic Christian hymn
"Jesus, Thou Joy of Loving Hearts"
"The Almighty Majesty produced three works, three instanes of mingling in the assumption of our flesh . . . God and man joined to one another, the Mother and Virgin, faith and the human heart. These are wonderfous kinds of mingling . . . for nothing is higher than God, nothing lower than the dust, and yet God descended into the dust with such dignity and the dust ascended to God with such dignity that whatever God accomplished, and whatever the dust endured, God is said to have endured in it."
[Bernard of Clairvaux, Virgilia Nativitatis Domini Sermo 3, MPL, Vol. 183, p. 98]

@sonship saidSure, but is he a writer in the NT?!

What next, a quote from Winnie the Pooh talking about the mingling of honey with chocolate?
Bump for the angels
People, the Lord Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit would lead the church into all the truth. Now there are two extremes as I see it. There are two opposite extremes in wrong thinking:
1.) The Holy Spirit will speak something against what Jesus said, ie. like the teaching of Mohammed and the Quran.
2,) The other extreme is that words will never be uttered by Spirit led [edited] servants which cannot be found literally in the Bible. In other words there will always be a kind "traditional flavor" and no new expressions.
@sonship saidA wise man’s heart directs him toward the right, but the foolish man’s heart directs him toward the left.
@Ghost-of-a-DukeWhy are you unable to provide 'mingled' in scripture?!
Open mouth, change feet.
Leviticus 2:4
Ecclesiastes 10:2
@Ghost-of-a-Duke
No, not "silence is golden."
Do you believe in "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" also referred to as The Golden Rule.
Do you believe in the Golden Rule ?
I am not asking you if you always are able to obey it.
@sonship saidWe exist as a species due to our ability to cooperate. "I will not kill you if you don't kill me. I won't eat your meat if you don't eat mine." It's how basic communities and morality developed. So yes, 'do unto others as you would have them do unto you' was/is critical to our survival and well-being. (No god required).

@Ghost-of-a-Duke
So basically it sounds like you do believe the Golden Rule.
The phrase "the Golden Rule" is not found written in the Bible.
So even you accept something in the Bible as true or at least important, though the exact phrase is not written there.
I believe in "Son-nized" or "God-ized" even though the exact words are not written in Scripture.
@sonship saidGod-ized is not in the Bible because it was not God's intent to make man a God.

The comparison you've made is childlike in its simplicity.
