2 Corinthians 11 speaks of false apostles, deceitful workers, ministers of Satan(Law) coming, as if apostles of Christ, to beguile & corrupt Christ-ian minds with "another Jesus" (more law law division), "another spirit" (more spirit of err: antichrist), and "another gospel" than the gospel of Christ is the end of the law, our peace who hath abolished the law(enmity), the Saviour of the world, the Author of eternal salvation. For to wit: that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, by NOT (law) imputing any sin, not even to them of them/us. For to law impute sin to any would make sinners all, none righteous, no, not one, and God is one. So abolition of law is the only plausible solution to be rid of sin and it's death sting, for law imputes sin, and the curse of the law imputes sin and death to all, not some only. So to have life only, law(ministration of death) has to go, thereby sin & death go, hell too since it follows death. In Christ there's no sin (no law) nor death

Good Exegesis,

Your equation is flawed. The law is still in effect, so there is still sin. Jesus didn't come to abolish the law, but to show how it should be fulfilled. All the laws of the Old Testament are meant to guide people in loving God and loving each other. Thus so long as you do this, you will be following the purpose and the spirit of the law. Failing to do so will be breaking the law, however, and therefore a sin. And if there's still sin, there's still hell.

"Don't think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn't come to destroy, but to fulfill. For most certainly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not even one smallest letter or one tiny pen stroke shall in any way pass away from the law, until all things are accomplished. Whoever, therefore, shall break one of these least commandments, and teach others to do so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever shall do and teach them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven." (Mt 5:17-19)

Of course certain people corrupt it. There have always been and will always be those who attempt to wrest spiritual reward through physical action. The Law is intact, but it has no sway over us now. The purpose of the Law was to demonstrate the need for a Savior. Since no one can keep the Law, we are all sinners. Since we are all sinners, we need salvation. Since only God can provide righteousness and freedom from sin, Jesus came as our sin offering to God. His actions were of grace and love, not obligation nor duty. Grace is a gift that cannot be earned, nor repaid. Works will serve as fruitful evidence of salvation but they are not the key - works will not get entry into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Jesus said that He did not come to do away with the law but so that the law through Him might be fulfilled.
Paul also points out that because we are saved does that mean that we can go on sinning? NO!
So the equation should read Fulfillment of the law (Jesus)=acceptance + law = no eternal death (heaven)

The entire world's population (expect one family) was destroyed in a flood because they offended God. That was before the giving of the law. So, there is sin and there is death apart from the law. Those who sin without the law are condemned apart from the law. Those who sin with the law are condemned according to the law.

The absense of law does not guarantee sinlessness. By no means.

There is no Hell for you if you are forgiven by Jesus; that is correct (John 5:24-30).

Note that Jesus talked more about Hell than he did about Heaven, so one cannot argue that Jesus did away with Hell for the entire world, when he seemed to argue otherwise (Matthew 5:29-30 & 25:31-46; John 3:18-21).

You have a very fouled-up understanding of the scripture, bub.
The Bible says Christ came to fulfill the law, not to abolish it.
You'd fit in quite well with the Jehoobies (sic), with your "no hell"
doctrine, which is all wet!

Matthew 5:17 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)
17Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

I agree, I believe that Christians have totally corrupted and misinterpreted the words and teaching of Jesus. And maybe they are the ones the bible has indicated as the false Prophets coming as apostles of Christ.

Being a faithful Christian puts you in the line of fire from the whole world. We are in Spiritual Warfare---on a daily basis. The world hates us because it first hated God.

Thank you for your wonderful, uplifting spirit.

For those who will, no doubt, insult and persecute you for your question and comments, I would add this to our Brothers and Sisters in Christ.

To all the faithful who read questions or answers to our questions relative to our faith in Jesus Christ, that do nothing but mock God and assault the Word of God:

"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you for My sake. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven. They persecuted the prophets before you in the same way."
Matthew 5:11-12

"If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you."
1st Peter 4:14

"Hear me, you who know what is right; you people who have my law in your hearts: Do not fear the reproach of men or be terrified by their insults." Isaiah 51:7

"You will be protected from the lash of the tonge, and need not fear when destruction comes to them." Job 5:21

Your logic is in error, my friend.

Romans 3:23 says "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." There IS sin.

Romans 6:23 says, "For the wages of sin is death."
