So, there is another church somewhere that has lasted 1500 years (since the council of Nicene)? If so, please point it out to me, because I am unaware of any such.

Thanks.

Pardon me, since the 4th Centry? (circa 300 AD, 1700 years ago).

What does any council of Nicolaitans have to do with our Lord's church? There are no councils. There have been many congregations of true believers, and few if any of them had anything to do with Rome after Constantine smashed the Roman congregation and subsumed them into his pagan dynasty.

The body of Christ is the church, not some coven of pagan priests who worship the virgin of Ninus.
