D&C 117
I wonder about the origin of the term “nicolaitane.” I did a search and found lots of information telling how the Nicolaitanes were a group in the early church who strove to control through manipulation. Another source claims that the Nicolaitanes essentially worshiped Nimrod (apparently also called Baal later) who was the first dominant dictator in world history. I don’t know how much of those claims are true, but they are interesting to whatever degree they are true.
