Pergamum is a community in decline due to its tolerance of false teachings.

If Satan can't get the messengers to stop preaching, if he can't destroy or intimidate them, then Satan seeks to cause division about the truth of the gospel. We will study the special council at Jerusalem in Acts 15.

Christ is all, and having Christ we have all in him. Paul writes in Colossians to a church that is troubled by false teachers, and in Colossians 2 he counters the heretics' claim that they have the secret to more.

Within dispensationalism, there are standard hermeneutical principles that on the surface sound reasonable. But when taken to their logical conclusions, many of these principles actually stand in the way of understanding the mind of God and often introduce significant error.

In our study of Galatians, we need to change it to...
