Thanks For answering my question forgot I asked this...i did find out on another forum.
The deeds today would in include things like participating in inappropriate contentography right? I can't believe that some christians think its ok. And that its normal.
And why did Jesus hate them?
I don't know where you get that idea. My understand of the nicolaitions was that they misused authority. Those that ruled verses those that lead and serve. They are the 'least in the kingdom' because of their desire to rule on earth.Thanks For answering my question forgot I asked this...i did find out on another forum.

Actually the error of Balaam was casting a stumbling block before others and chasing rewards. It just so happened that Baalam told Balak to send in the Moabitess women as that stumbling block so Yah would curse them for violating his own law.Hi Goodbook, Jesus didn't hate them, He hated their "deeds" (Revelation 2:6). Here's a short excerpt about them from one of my commentaries:
The teaching of the Nicolaitans led to the same wicked behavior as that of the followers of Balaam. The Nicolaitans derived their name from Nicholas, one of the seven men chosen to oversee the distribution of food in Acts 6. Whether he became an apostate (as some of the early church fathers believed) or the Nicolaitans, his followers, perverted his teachings is not known. Abusing the biblical teaching on Christian liberty, the Nicolaitans also taught that Christians could participate in pagan orgies. They seduced the church with immorality and idolatry. MacArthur, J. F., Jr. Revelation 1–11
Merry Christmas,
David
