The sin of hypocritically leading people astray. Jesus condemned this heinous deception in his message to the church in Pergamum. Balaam, a prophet of God in early Jewish history (Numbers 22-31), enticed worshippers into idolatry and sexual sin, to the destruction of thousands.
“You have people there who hold to the teaching of Balaam… Repent therefore! Otherwise, I will soon come to you and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth,” (Revelation 2:14-16).
