WHAT DOES ANTINOMIANISM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

antinomianism

Antinomianism

In Christianity, an antinomian is "one who holds that under the gospel dispensation of grace the moral law is of no use or obligation because faith alone is necessary to salvation". Many antinomians, however, believe that Christians will obey the moral law despite their freedom from it. The distinction between antinomian and other Christian views on the moral law is that antinomians believe that obedience to the law is motivated by an internal principle flowing from belief rather than any external compulsion. The term antinomianism emerged soon after the Protestant Reformation and has historically been used as a pejorative against Christian thinkers or sects who carried their belief in justification by faith further than was customary. Antinomianism in modern times is commonly seen as the theological opposite to Legalism or Works righteousness, the notion that obedience to religious law earns salvation. This makes antinomianism an exaggeration of justification by faith alone. Examples are Martin Luther's critique of antinomianism and the Antinomian Controversy of the 17th century Massachusetts Bay Colony.

Definition of antinomianism in the English dictionary

The definition of antinomianism in the dictionary is the doctrine that by faith and the dispensation of grace a Christian is released from the obligation of adhering to any moral law.
