Gnosticism and its influence on the church part 2.

There was one sect called the Nicolaitans that existed in Apostolic times who were very antinomian. They believed that since they opposed the God of Creation, they must also oppose His Law (Torah) that was given to the Israelites. This opposition to the God of Creation was a duty, and breaking His Law was considered a solemn obligation. Thomas Aquinas said the Nicolaitans supported either polygamy or the holding of wives in common. Irenaeus, Hippolytus, and Epiphanius mentioned the Nicolaitans, and stated that a deacon named Nicolas was the founder of that heresy.
