Bible Question:
Shalom, brothers and sisters.Who are the Nicolaitanes found in Rev.2:6,15. Is the Lord talking about the "deeds" being sin, and if so am I to guess that the Nicolaitanes are sinners? Also,( this may be needless ) what is the doctrine that is mentioned in v.15? I gather it seems to be about sin, but I want to be sure. Peace be with you all,michael |
Bible Answer: Hi Mickael, The church at Ephesus (Revelation 2:6) is commended for hating the "deeds" of the Nicolaitanes, and the church of Pergamos is blamed for having them who hold their "doctrines" (15). They were seemingly a class of professing Christians, who sought to introduce into the church a false freedom or licentiousness, thus abusing Paul's doctrine of grace (comp. 2 Peter 2:15, 16, 19), and were probably identical with those who held the doctrine of Baalam.
