How do we know the doctrine of Balaam is true?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture warns against the doctrine of Balaam, confirming its truth through historical account and divine revelation.

The truth of the doctrine of Balaam is established through both Old Testament accounts and New Testament affirmations. Numbers chapters 22-24 recount the attempted curse of Israel by Balaam and how he ultimately advised Balak to lead the Israelites into sin, indicative of his true motives for gain. The New Testament books of Jude and 2 Peter explicitly reference Balaam to warn the church against such false doctrines. The Spirit of God reveals the intent and consequences of teaching that compromises God's truth for personal gain. This confirms the reality and relevance of the doctrine today, urging believers to remain faithful and discerning.
