You’ve filled the thread with lies. As usual.
However, I’m curious to know how you came to the following conclusion:
“However, Sexual sins are what the Nicolaitans were known for. OSAS/OJAJ are modern-day Nicolaitans.”
I must be blind as a bat or either you’re lying again.
How do you look yourself in the mirror?
I’ll post more when I get a chance. Going to work now.
Bye.

Claire, I’m over here...
Yeah, you’re blind as a bat.
BTW, are you not capable of doing your own research?

This is what it boils down to:
“The doctrine and works of the Nicolaitans came forth from a wrong interpretation of the GRACE OF GOD that was preached by the apostles. They misused the grace of God and the liberty in Christ to fulfill their carnal (sexual) lusts and desires.”
“The Nicolaitans believed and said that a person is saved by grace and therefore it doesn’t matter how you live. The Nicolaitans said that by faith in Jesus Christ, the spirit of a person is saved, but since you are bound by the flesh, in which evil is present, you will always remain a sinner and always keep sinning. You serve God through your spirit, but you keep serving your flesh and its lust and desires during your life on earth.”
“What the Nicolaitans were actually saying is, that you serve God through your spirit, but you serve the devil through your flesh (soul and body).”
“But Jesus says a person can’t be divided and can’t serve two masters of two kingdoms.”
“A person lives in the kingdom of God and serves God or a person lives in the kingdom of the devil and serves the devil (Matthew 4:10, 6:24, Luke 4:8, 16:13).”
“A person can say that he/she believes and is saved, but his or her speech and deeds prove whether the person is truly saved.”
Then, there’s this from both EGW and the SDA bible commentary:
“Doctrine of the Nicolaitans.– The doctrine is now largely taught that the gospel of Christ has made the law of God of no effect; that by ‘believing’ we are released from the necessity of being doers of the Word. But this is the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which Christ so unsparingly condemned.” E.G. White, SDA Bible Commentary, vol. 7, 957, and Signs of the Times, Jan 2. 1912.
“The doctrine of the Nicolaitans appears to have been a form of antinomianism (see SDACom 7:957).Nicolaitans of the 2d cent. seem to have continued and extended the views of the 1st-cent. adherents, holding to the freedom of the flesh, and teaching that the deeds of the flesh had no effect upon the health of the soul and consequently no relation to salvation.” SDA Bible Commentary, vol. 8, p. 771.
Definition of antinomian: a believer in the doctrine that faith alone, not obedience to the moral law, is necessary for salvation.” Websters New World Dictionary.

Other commentators believe that these Nicolaitans were not so called from any man, but from the Greek word Nicolah, meaning “let us eat,” as they often encouraged each other to eat things offered to idols. Whichever theory is true, it is certain that the deeds of the Nicolaitans were an abomination to Christ. They, like the Gnostics and other false teachers, abused the doctrine of grace and tried to introduce licentiousness in its place (2 Peter 2:15, 19; Jude 1:4).
Just in case you missed it:
Jude 4: For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
