The parallels are pretty clear. It’s also interesting that the same kinds of tendencies can occur in totally different religious cultures.Definition of antinomian. 1 : 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. 2 : one who rejects a socially established morality.
Now i see it as a necessary evil...in the sense if you don't find forgiveness you get crushed under guilt and it's all over...
so one needs forgiveness or they just give up....
when we think in terms of how many human like lives we have had.and for how many kalpas ..pretty much anything and everything you did...from rape...to killing...
it's weird but i really get the most compassionate feelings from this Nichiren group online...other buddhists just don;t seem to project the compassion...
we must develop compassion in order to not commit those dreaded things in future lives.
i think Lotus Buddhism really works the kinks out of us and we grow very compassionate...
we will take this with us into the next life...as we have in this life....pretty much most of the shakabukkued are nice people....met very few real bad ones...
