| Comment
from The Companion Bible:
Nicolaitanes . History has no record of
these. Tradition says much. They will appear “in that day”.
All we do know is that they are hateful to God. |
| Comment
from The Dake Bible:
Nicolaitanes 2:6. Followers of Nicolaus,
a heretic. They are supposed to have been a sect of gnostics who
practiced and taught impure and immoral doctrines, such as the
community of wives, that committing adultery and fornication was
not sinful, and that eating meats offered to idols was lawful.
This was similar to the doctrins of Balaam and Jezebel of Thyarita
(v6, 14-15, 20). |
