Boyd’s Bible Dictionary
:
An heretical
sect
condemned in
Revelation 2:6,15
6
But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. (Revelation 2:6)
15
So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. (Revelation 2:15)
Concise Bible Dictionary
:
The
designation of
some
sect
whose deeds and doctrines are condemned without being specified (
Rev. 2:6,15
6
But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. (Revelation 2:6)
15
So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. (Revelation 2:15)
).
Many
suggestions
have
been made as to the tenets of the Nicolaitanes, but nothing is known
with
certainty. As their “doctrine” and their “deeds” are referred to, both of which
Christ
“hated,” it has been thought
they
were libertines.
