The Nicolaitans Of Today

But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. [Revelation 2:6]

Jesus did not hate the people in the Scriptures we read about who He called Nicolaitans, but He certainly hated what they were practicing and teaching — which was a doctrine of compromise in the Church. If you are strong in your Christian faith you know that there can be no bargains or agreements with what the Word of God puts forth.

The sad thing is this movement is growing by leaps and bounds not only across America but across the whole world. We must all realize that the end of this age is coming rapidly to a close and when Jesus comes to rapture His own there are going to be a lot of people who are not going back with Him even though they can and will give Him a list a mile long of all the things they have done.  His words will be, “I know you not”  We must all stand strong in our faith and not compromise.

Everyone that says Lord, Lord will not enter into the kingdom of God. A person can go to church and never miss a Sunday, never miss paying tithes and offerings, and do many other things that may look good, but without obedience to God and His Word, it means nothing.

In America today we have Nicolations who profess Christ but yet do not do the things they know are right. For instance when a Christian  knows that the Abortion (Murder) of millions of unborn babies is wrong but will still be a member of a political party that promotes it that my friend is called compromise, That same political party promotes homosexuals, crossdressers, transgenders, and for the most part does not want God a part of their platform. Not long ago we had a president who promoted all these things and even lite up the white house with rainbow colors. He made fun of certain passages in the Bible, but yet many churches supported him and his agenda. Even today they support that platform (doctrine) These people must repent and return to God.

We must live a holy and separated life from this world. We might have to live in it but we do not have to be a part of it. The church does not need to be part of it. We must be found faithful and a soldier in God’s army. We must preach, teach, be instant in season and out of season to do the Lord’s work.

Today in most churches the members just hear a motivational speech from the pulpit. this style is so widespread in the Church that the doctrine and principles of the Christian faith are largely not known by most churchgoers, especially by those who are younger, because it is never preached or taught to them.  The core Bible doctrines such as the virgin birth, the sinlessness of Christ, sin, salvation, holiness, the crucifixion and eternal judgment are often unknown, inadequately taught, or considered optional. Where modern Nicolaitanism prevails, sound doctrine is replaced with social action, social justice, and an attempt to appeal to mass audiences by making people feel better about themselves. Thus, the true doctrinal teaching of the Bible is diminished, replaced by different versions of a watered-down, “politically correct” instruction instead of a Biblical correct doctrine. We now have over two dozen new translations of the Bible that have changed the Word of God, its meaning or else left out part of the scripture altogether.

As for the old time religion it was and still is the only religion for me and my house. When I go to church I want to hear the pure raw word of God preached.  False teachers will arise and have already risen up that will lure many people into a compromise with the world.  The Nicolaitan spirit is in our churches today and we must fight against it.
