P.S. to my previous post:

There is hope. I see that a couple of posts while I was writing finally come some distance toward rethinking Nicolaitan. But I probably need to refocus my efforts elsewhere anyway.

I do not mean to attack anyone. I do consider you my friends. But while it may not be my place to point out the errors in thinking . . . but who is doing it at all? We don't like to be talked at harshly. That does not mean it shouldn't happen. It might not be my place. But whose is it? We don't want anyone to do it. We want to be left to figure it out on our own.

Without any input from clergy.
