No wonder Yeshua said that few would find his path. “
The Law (summed up in the 10 commandments) gets read most every Sunday at my church .
We are —not— told “the law was done away with by Christ”.
We —are— told that we are to keep His commandments.
The focus is —not— on what will happen in the end times; the focus is on Christ’s work done for us, and how we are to live.
We are reminded that we are saved “by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, revealed by Scripture alone, to the glory of God alone”.
The pastor does —not— do theological gerrymandering of the books of Daniel, Revelation, Matthew, etc.
A question :
OK, is this website’s definition of nicolaitan correct?

That thing is nonsense.
Nicolaitans had nothing to do with idolatry. They were seekers of personal power. Yeshua dealt with that among his closest disciples, when they sought to one-up each other.
He told them that he who would be first will be last, and he who would be great would be diminished.
