Council of Nicea

[One Bad Pig]

Revelation 2:14-16
“‘Nevertheless, I have a few things against you, that you have there those adhering to the teaching of Baʹlaam, who taught Baʹlak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit sexual immorality.
15 In the same way, you also have those adhering to the teaching of the sect of Nicolaus.
16 So repent. If you do not, I am coming to you quickly, and I will war against them with the long sword of my mouth.
BU

Not the same person. St. Nicholas lived in the 3rd/4th century, long after Revelation was written.

Are you high or low Anglican?

There is a nearby Episcopalian parish (just celebrated its 325th anniversary) which recently added icons to its side walls (the priest has come to our services a couple times while on sabbatical).

High Anglican. We have the Stations of the Cross on our side walls and glass windows but that's about all she wrote...

Definitely not what you'd find at my parish.

The iconostasis sort of gives that away, no?

You're learnin' me, yessir. And I stopped by your church the other day for another look.

With a capital Orth!

I figured it's an Orthodox Church of some kind.

Looks like a Greek church.

That was the council where Saint Nicolaus got up and punched Arius in the face! No Christmas presents for him!

The ol' round file

Which eventually makes it to the MASTER File 13....

Lemme give you another insight. Bibleuser should probably change his name to Bibleconfuser. You'd be best off filing his advice in file 13.

Just my opinion.

I was thinking Bibleabuser since he abuses the meaning of passages, but maybe that sounds too wrong.

Well, we might also consider exactly what it is he uses the Bible for - my grandmother used it to bash the "Bible bumps" on the back of her hand.
