ACC ~ Revelation 2 v15
THE NICOLAITANS WERE PROMISCUOUS AND HAD PAGAN IDEAS. BEDE: The Nicolaitans receive their name from the deacon, Nicolaus, of whom Clement reports that, when he was reproached for jealousy of his very beautiful wife, he responded that whoever wanted might take her as wife. On account of this, the faithless taught that the apostles had permitted to everyone a promiscuous and communal intercourse with women. In addition, the Nicolaitans are said to have proclaimed certain fabulous and virtually pagan ideas concerning the beginning of the world and not to have kept their foods separate from those which had been offered to idols.
