  • In a culture where there are so many things vying for our attention, it can be hard to remain faithful to the calling God has given us. Over time, we can start to blend in with our culture and compromise our beliefs through our actions. That is what Jesus calls out of the church in Pergamum. May this be a reminder to Christ followers that Jesus wants all of us, not just a portion of us.

    DOCTRINE OF BALAAM
    1 Corinthians 8:4-5, 7-8, 10-11 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one.
    For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
    Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.
    But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
    For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;
    And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
    (Ok as long as it doesn't offend a "weaker" brother)
    1 Corinthians 10:19, 27-28 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
    If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.
    But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof
    (Plausible deniability)
    Revelation 2:2, 9, 14, 20 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
    I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
    But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
    Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
    Clearly Jesus doesn't think of an idol as nothing! Clearly Jesus is talking about foods sacrificed to idols as spiritual fornication/adultery!!!!
