Antinomian N./Adj Doctrine Christians Saved Grace Obligated Follow

Word antinomian
Definition n./adj. The doctrine that because Christians are saved by grace, they are not obligated to follow moral or civil laws.
Sentence Institutions generally like to mediate the individual’s access to authority of whatever kind—whether medical or spiritual—whereas the psychedelic experience offers something akin to direct revelation, making it inherently antinomian.
