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.
