Chris.
This Doctrine of Balaam is not just something we read of in the Early Church History. It is also pervading in the Churches today. Corruption is being exposed in some Churches, especially where the Spiritual Leadership is involved in business. Immorality is still being exposed in the leadership of Churches until now. There are so many forms of idolatry that is unprofitable for us to read a list of them. Let us Endeavour and Pray to get the Doctrine of Balaam out of the Churches.
