SDA Issues: Infiltration of Marxist Thought into Adventist Institutions SEIRES: Mixing the Sacred and the Profane

"Throughout Scripture, God warns His people not to mix what is holy with what is common. To Israel He said, “that you may distinguish between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean” (Leviticus 10:10, NKJV). Paul later applied the same principle:
“Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?” (2 Corinthians 6:14,

NKJV).

Biblical history is replete with examples of Israel’s downfall through linguistic and ideological compromise. 

*When Aaron proclaimed a feast to the Lord around the golden calf (Exodus 32:5–6), he blended true worship with pagan symbolism. When Israel adopted Canaanite terms for fertility gods, they did not intend idolatry—they intended relevance. Yet this mixture provoked divine judgment. 

*The same pattern reappears whenever God’s people redefine His truth in worldly categories. In prophetic symbolism, Babylon represents confusion, truth and error mixed (Revelation 18:4). The final call of God to His people is not merely moral but semantic: “Come out of her, My people, lest you share in her sins.” To come out of Babylon means to reject its moral logic and linguistic deception.
