So the omniscient God of the universe gave us a coded message for the one thing that Lee was sure was the biggest problem of modern-day Christianity? Doesn't add-up.

OBW, who said anything about there being no need for leadership? The kind of leadership the discused interpretation of Nicolaitans is talking about is exactly the kind Jesus and Paul warned us against. Nicolaitans is the antithesis of servant-leadership.

The message about not lording over laity is not just in the Nicolaitans references in Revelation. It's all through the NT. Jesus spoke about it, so did Paul.

Revelation is full of coded messages. If you are going to get bothered about interpreting Nicolaitans you might as well get bothered about interpreting beasts out of the sea, prostitutes named Mystery, and horses and riders and cisterns.
