During the Jerusalem Council in Acts 15, the Gentile believers were given just a few essential instructions- among them, to abstain from sexual immorality and from food sacrificed to idols. You might think, “Wow, that’s simple—we only had a couple of things to follow!” Yet, according to Jesus’ letters to the churches in Revelation 2, it seems we didn’t keep even those.
Rev 2:20-21
“Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet.
By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols. I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling.”
Rev 2:14
But I have a few things against you:
you have some there who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel,
so that they might eat food sacrificed to idols and practice sexual immorality
If you look at church history we compromised on divorce and remarriage starting in the 4th century when Christianity became a state religion in Rome and especially in the 15th century with Erasmus' re-interpretation of divorce & remarriage which was adopted in the reformation.
It’s possible Erasmus is a type of Balaam that Jesus warns about. Erasmus was a genius and Greek scholar and the first English NT is based on his Greek edition. But he later was revealed to be a skeptic, possible practicing homosexual according to Luther and false Christian, the prince of humanists. The majority of evangelical churches today hold to Erasmus’ teachings and interpretations of scripture regarding divorce & remarriage without realizing their origin.
