Commentary on Revelation 2:6
Christ's hatred of Nicolaitan deeds reveals His holy intolerance of antinomianism—the false teaching that grace permits sinful license. Early church fathers (Irenaeus, Hippolytus) identify Nicolaitans with libertine practices mixing Christianity with pagan immorality. Reformed theology affirms that genuine faith produces sanctification; mere profession without transformation indicates false conversion. Christ's 'hatred' (Greek 'miseis') demonstrates that true love for God includes hatred of evil—not the sinner, but the sin that enslaves.
