Pandering Pergamum

The church of Pergamum was located right in the middle of Hell’s headquarters. Living in the shadow of Satan himself, the smell of satanic influence was everywhere.Even in the midst of their surroundings, Christ tells them to hold fast to His Truth and to not tolerate the doctrine of lies, deception and falsehoods that had made their way into the church. “But I have a few complaints against you. You tolerate some among you whose teaching is like that of Balaam, who showed Balak how to trip up the people of Israel."Revelation 2:14 NLT
