Nicolaitans and Balaam

(1/3) > >>

Marlene:
Hello, Could anyone explain to me what kind of false teaching the Nicolaitans and Balaam held.

Craig:
I don't know about the Balaam, but the Nickolodeon's teach about a sponge who wears square pants and lives in a pineapple under the sea.   ;D

Here is a secular article  

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolaitanes

Nicolaitians is really a metaphor the hierarchical order within the church

(Mat 23:7)  And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.

(Mat 23:8)  But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.

(Mat 23:9)  And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

(Mat 23:10)  Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.

(Mat 23:11)  But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.

(Mat 23:12)  And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

Churches like hierarchy, it a way to keep the rabble quiet and controlled. At first they did not allow them to read, then it was in Latin only. Even though the Bible was translated, the clergy still keeps people in the dark about the True doctrine. because they have relegated their rights, they sit like babies with their mouths open, waiting for pablum to be put into their mouths.


Balaam is another intersting aspect

Balaam was a Gentile prophet, whose prophesies are recorded in scripture.  Balaam loved money, and worldly fame.  He was famous as a soothsayer, who would pronounce a curse for money.  The Mosaic Law strictly prohibited these practices, but then, Balaam wasn't a Jew.  He was a Gentile.  Balaam was a dichotomy who spoke with the authority of God at times and used the power of demonism at other times.

He is the classic example of a person who knew the right way, but rejected it to pursue the frantic search for happiness of worldly lusts.

His reversionism was so perverse, that his own donkey was used to preach him a sermon in an attempt to restrain his insanity.  Today the apostasy of Balaam is everywhere.  It fills the pulpits of apostate churches all over the world.  

The name it and claim it, tithes and offerings for earthy blessings , tongues and all the emotionalism and entertainment in the services, keep people imbued in the world.  

Perhaps that is the role of the elect...to be the a@@ that preaches to them in the hope of them repenting.

Revelations says that these two practices are hated by Jesus Christ and it is easy to see why.

Sponge Bob is the Pope of the Nicolodeans congregation, they watch cartoons and old movies and play games.  The network is run by balaam, it is all about profit.
