Divisions have always been present. Paul writes to Corinthians about "some saying I am of Paul, I am of Apollos, I am of Cephas, I am of Christ"
I think both Paul and Peter warned about WOLVES coming in after they died.
Whoever the NICOLAITIANS were, they were bad.
Arianism was a bad thing, and lasted in some parts of Europe til 6th or 7th centuries. Ideas like it are in JWs now...
But The Church remains - universal in nature - unprevailed against.

God spoke this warning to two Church's in Revelations. One being the Church at Ephesus and the Church at Pergamos.
The Nicolaitans were a Gentile heretic sect that converted over to Judaism to dominate others with their heretic teachings. Irenaeus, Hippolytus, Epiphanius, and Theodoret mentioned this group, and stated that the deacon Nicolas was the author of the heresy and the sect. The Nicolaitanes are the followers of that Nicolas who was one of the seven first ordained to the diaconate by the apostles in AD 33, Acts 6:5. They lead lives of unrestrained indulgence as in eating things offered to idols. The teaching of the Nicolaitans was to dominate the people leading them astray from that of what Jesus taught and this goes against the teachings of Jesus, Matthew 20:25-28.
Rev 2:6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Rev 2:15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
Act 6:5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:

He meant the statement of faith displayed in this forum
Is this forum's statement of faith the absolute truth?
Who can prove it?
Ah, I thought he was referring to a statement of faith on some other site. My mistake.
It's proved and faithful as lining up with the scriptures. There is no part of it that is not found in the Bible.
Is it okay if I debate that ?
Only if you show us what parts are not found in the scriptures, except the word "Trinity" itself is not found, but the explanation is.
After church I'll give it some time.

I believe this, as long as people believe the core values, interpretation can be a curse or a blessing depending on what a person decides to believe. For example some churches teach that suffering is Gods will. To me this is a big problem.
