Antinomianism is the polar opposite of legalism, the notion that obedience to a code of religious law earns salvation.
I do not let a chartered religious institution define my
relationship with God or Christ by their rules or my attendance to their building. I am saved from all sins by the sacrifice of Jesus and belief in him as the Son of God. By the way, for those not fully confident that salvation is free and we must live “sin free”, please define “sin” for me in such a way as we may then make a full list of sins of commission and omission and live my life accordingly. You will bog down in a sea of ambiguity. For example ,”Thou shalt not kill” .Does this apply in self defense? War? Accident?
Thou shalt not bear false witness? How many lies do you tell each day? “I’m fine, thank you “ when your not. “I’ll get right on it!” (when you won’t). How about stealing? Oh,
Well ,you get my drift. Why did Christ come? Because all are sinner and fall short of the glory of God!

Are these supposed theologians right ? or is the Bible right ?
New Living Version:
Colossians 2:14
He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross.
King James:
Colossians 2:14
Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
The only ONE who was able to " obedience to a code of religious law earns salvation, "
was/is Jesus Christ who fulfilled all of the written code for us, so that his righteousness will be fulfilled in us.

Which exactly why salvation by works, no matter what works they are, is simply not possible.
If someone recognizes that the Law doesn't save and yet substitutes his own law instead, they are left in the same quandary.
