Moskal asserts that as far as antinomianism advocates lawbreaking for its own sake, it inevitably falls into a logical trap: any lawbreaking depends logically on prior lawgiving, thus having no independent conceptual foundation. She goes on to argue that Blake, in the face of its logical limit, began to develop the concept of forgiveness as an ethical alternative for his earlier antinomianism. In opposition to her views this paper attempts to elucidate the relevance Blake’s gospel of forgiveness had within the context of his antinomianism. Historically antinomianism had several ramifications and Blake’s antinomian position, being quite different from the one Moskal had in mind, left no room for logical contradiction from the first. Blake’s antinomian stance, which shows extreme aversion to the Mosaic law as an antithesis of Jesus’s gospel of love and forgiveness, implies the importance of forgiveness as its integral part. Moreover, Blake in his later life perceived that the moral law was responsible for self-righteous mind’s tendency to accusation. Through his own critical experiences he came to realize that a personification of accusation was Satan or spectre, which can only be cast out or remedied by the internal, self-annihilative process of forgiveness.
