"I don't want to marry you b/c of your past" is not equivalent to "I don't forgive you."

This may seem obvious to a Christian, but to a modern antinomian, it's anything but. Here's why: ⤵️

Scripture tells us that all men have sinned and still sin. To this, soft antinomians add the false belief that all sins are equal.

But when everything is sinful, nothing is. That is the false gospel of the soft antinomian--their only source of hope & comfort.⤵️

However, this false belief that all men sin equally doesn't expunge human nature, which is compelled to weigh good vs evil.

To satisfy this need, soft antinomians invent a new sin: judging one sin as worse than another. This, they ironically believe, is the worst sin of all.⤵️

So say a man judges that a wanton would make a worse wife than a virgin b/c of divorce risk & impaired bonding, and a worse mother for his children b/c half the town would know their mom's character.

To antinomians, that's a "real" sin b/c it says the wanton's sins are worse.⤵️

And so soft antinomians adopt the mantle of the Pharisees, neglecting the commandments of God for the traditions of men and hypocritically judging others by standards they themselves fail.

They are twisted in ALL their ways; parsing modern sexual chaos is just a popular subject.
