Revelation 2:14-16
"But I have a few things
against
thee, because thou hast
there them that hold the doctrine of
Balaam,
who taught Balac to cast a stumbl-
ing block before the children of
Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto
idols, and to commit fornication.
So hast thou also them that hold
the doctrine of the Nicolaitans,
which thing I hate.
Repent; or else I will come unto

thee quickly, and will fight against
them with the sword of my mouth."

The Nicolaitans had set up the

priesthood, placing some above
others. God did not like it.
