Thank you for teaching us the Bible while we get to see these places. Such a blessing. Watching from the Philippines.

I prefer the epistles but about yearly or so I'll slowly digest the revelation and see if I have any new thoughts.

Jesus is the ONLY way, Truth, and Life and no one comes to the God of the Bible but through Christ. NO islam nor any other false religion that does not recognize the deity of Christ will get to Heaven apart from repentance and relationship with Jesus Christ our Lord and God. Today is the day of salvation. God wants all people to come home to Heaven. Repent, Believe, and confess that Jesus was exactly who HE said and be saved.

Thank you Mr. Renner... I learned much! If I may be so presumptuous, the Doctrine of Balaam wasn't unveiled, which, I proffer is fundamental to grasping even further magnitude to your sermon. Begging your patience as I set the groundwork in the KJV, exclusively.

Gen 9:22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
Lev 18:8 The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness.
Lev 20:11 And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's nakedness...

Canaan was cursed being the progeny of first degree, son-mother incest, the hallmark of Ba'al worship, more momentarily. Appreciating modest Hebrew metaphor, please consider there is one task a man cannot perform in the bedroom, rather tent, while covered and backwards, considering brothers Shem's and Japheth's responses to Ham's invitation to 'join the party' going down in Noah's tent:

Gen 9:23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.

Shem and Japheth made a bold metaphorical claim, that they'd have NO part of first degree incest, the hallmark of Ba'al worship. Canaan's curse, being the progeny of first degree incest, is metaphorically discerned that servants don't 'sleep' in their masters' tents:

Genesis 9:25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26. And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
27. God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

Noah's procreation equation also inherently excluded Ham's and his wife's children/descendants. But, we find here that Noah sanctioned/blessed procreation between Shem's children/descendants, and Japheth's children/descendants... Incestuously conceived cursed Canaan was ostracized being given the Land of Canaan, as were Lot's incestuously conceived sons/descendant Ammonites/Moabites were given the Land of Ar (Deu 2:9), I proffer a geographic isolation, also. Furthermore, as incestuously conceived cursed Canaan's children/descendants were ostracized as mates by Noah's procreation equation... we also find the same disposition toward Lot's incestuously conceived sons/descendants, the Ammonites and Moabites, being ostracized from the Israelite descendants of Shem:

Deuteronomy 23:3 An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the LORD for ever:
4. Because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.

Hmmm... there's Balaam entering the picture. Now, contrary to common belief, Shem's brother Japheth, was enlarged being Shem's Semite children/descendants were blessed to procreate with Japheth's, 'Gentile' descendants. The title "Gentiles" was first mentioned in Gen 10:2-5, whereby Moses even used the title Gentile, and 'nations' in the same sentence:

Gen 2:5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.

I think Moses kinda knew the difference, right? The title 'nations' was also used 3-4 more time in Gen 10, the Table of Nations. I mean... what other title does one ascribe to the subsequently and ancestrally disenfranchised, enlarged descendants of Japheth, one of God's three post-food progenitors? Japheth... 'father' of the Gentiles, sanctioned to procreate with the Shemites/Semites, undoubtedly to the dismay of cursed Canaan, and to the dismay of Ham and his nefarious, antediluvian wife... matriarch to the evil Babylonians, and matriarch to the REALLY wicked Assyrians (Gen 10:6-14, Asshur was 'father' of the Assyrians).

Let's move forward into the NT, listening to Apostle Paul, vastly fluent in the first five Books of Moses, as he scolds those morally corrupt Corinthian Semite/Hebrew/Israelites, subject to the procreation Laws of Moses/Leviticus (my parens/emphasis):

1Cor 5:1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles (Japheth's God-loving descendants not even subject to the Law), that one should have his father's wife.


One might rethink what Nicodemus was asking Jesus about being born again (my parens/emphasis):

John 3:4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born (again) when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born (again)?

Ham's was the first and hallmark act of Ba'al worship this side of the flood, son-mother incest, a paleo 'Atheist' notion of being 'born again' in the flesh as the spirit of the 'smelted', male progenies of incest that were genetically misfit identical twins/self/sons/brother, and were tossed on the barbie, cooked alive, and cannibalized, while that victim's spirit was believed to be 'born again' unto the incestuous couple, without 'spot or blemish'. Some 'denominations' of Ba'al worship (collectively) included the drinking/consumption of blood... please consider Jeremiah's chapter 19:

Jer 9:5 They have built high places to Baal on which to burn their children in the fire as offerings to Baal—something I never commanded or mentioned, nor did it even enter My mind.  
Jer 9:9 I will make them eat the flesh of their sons AND daughters, and they will eat one another’s flesh in the siege and distress inflicted on them by their enemies who seek their lives.’

That golden calf was a child-sized slow cooker, btw. Incestuously conceived daughters became brood mares to those Ba'al worshippers. But, sure... son-mother incest was the hallmark of Ba'al worship, and cannibalizing and drinking the blood of those innocents, was even going on before the flood, that was the follow-thru to Ba'al worship. Guess why Noah's post-flood alter yielded "a sweet savour unto the Lord'?

Gen 8:21 And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.

I guess the stench of screaming babies on the barbie might inspire a flood, think? Now, with a deeper understanding of Ba'al worship, incest/fornication and cannibalism/blood drinking, one might reconsider the further depths of Jesus' chastening words to the Revelation Church of Pergamum, in Revelation 2 (my parens/emphasis):

Rev 2:13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. 
14. 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.

Jesus also similarly chastised the Revelation Church of Thyatira (my parens/emphasis)

Rev 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel (Ba'al worshipping daughter of Eth-Ba'al), which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants TO COMMIT FORNICATION, AND TO EAT THINGS SACRIFICED UNTO IDOLS.

Greatly appreciating this podcast, learning much... I proffer there is more to the doctrine of Ba'al, than meets the eye, that is a challenge to perceive even exclusively in the KJV.

Thank you again for your informative podcast/sermon Mr. Renner, and for you enduring patience for further consideration.

Thank you for such an insightful teaching Rick Renner. I also wonder if "Nico-Laitans" also means, "Victory-OF-the-people" as in, "Let the people do what they want!". Why? Because to be strict in morality was/is to be also very OBEDIENT to Church Aoostolic Authority - and so to do the opposite, perhaps was couched in terms of victory of human freewill and goodwill - with the false idea that human nature is not so bad and therefore should be acted out. See what I mean? I don't know enough about Greek syntax to know for sure. Just that I see the two ways it might be translated, as showing the tension - between the (lie) victory OF the people versus actually the Victory OVER the people. Just a thought... Very good video message, thanks.

Church must ware HlS NAME:
Like Pergamos did in the first
century “church of Christ.”

Hello Rick, the dead sea scrolls explain who Balaam son of Beor was in detail.

[mrt]

I always thought those practice the teachings of Balaam are those who sell their anointing for a fee. The bigger the amount the person gives, the greater anointing the special man or woman of "god", Balaam, is going to pour out. The "VIP" anointing for select few and the rest is for the "peons".

[roselamb]

I need to no isn't the holidays pagan? and do god hate it also, confuse

[MitziGardner]

Love this teaching. But I have a question, it says that Baalam hear from God and that he saw an angel, so if he was a witch and not a prophet how did he hear from God? And I know it says he did incense in high places and divination...so it makes sense that he was a witch, but how did he hear from God?
