Bible Question:
IN CHAPTER 2 OF THE REVELATION, CHRIST SPEAKS TO THE CHURCH IN EPHESUS AND PYRGAMUM. IN VERSES 6 AND 15, HE MENTIONS THE NICOLAITANS. COULD SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHO THESE PEOPLE WERE, AND WHY THE CHURCHES OF EPHESUS AND PERGAMUM WOULD HAVE A SUFFICIENT REASON TO DISLIKE THEM? MAY THE GRACE OF THE LORD BE WITH YOU!! |
Bible Answer: Nicolaitans (Holman Bible Dictionary) '(nihc oh lay' ituhnss) Heretical group in the early church who taught immorality and idolatry. They are condemned in Revelation 2:6,Revelation 2:15 for their practices in Ephesus and Pergamon. Thyatira apparently had resisted the false prophecy they preached (Revelation 2:20-25). The Nicolaitans have been linked to the type of heresy taught by Balaam (Numbers 25:1-2; 2 Peter 2:15), especially the pagan feasts and orgies that they apparently propagated in the first-century church.' ____________________ studylight.org/dic/hbd |
