The doctrine of the Nicolaitans teaches that the pastor is lord over the flock. Imagine a service starting without a pastor. There is no gathering in churches today without a pastor to lead the people. In a spirit and a truth taught by the precepts of holier-than-thou-theologians, ever learning but never coming to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ- Whom they deny in their religious forms of godliness, teaching whom they may devour, "speaking lies in hypocrisy". When we see the over-spreading of abominations that makes desolations, we come out of her and no longer touch the unclean things. "Who is more blind than my servant?" Having eyes but not perceiving. Can one reason with such a person? First we must remove the religious pretense out of our own eyes before we can walk without stumbling. Before we can say, "the Lord lives!", we must be dead to sin. "If I build again the things that I destroyed, I make myself a TRANSGRESSOR," the apostle Paul wrote to the church. Hypocrites are miserable comforters because they say one thing and do another. And for a pretense make prayers on platforms to be seen of men. And take silly women into captivity lusting after lying vanities. Jesus said, I will build my church against which the gates of hell will not prevail". What we see now is desolation full of corruption and filthiness of flesh. Emulations of evil men and seducers. Avoid public worship. There is no clean assembly. It is a mixed multitude that goes a whoring. The church age is over. The harvest is past, the summer is ended and they are not saved.
