If you view "antinomianism"as the 'belief that the Gospel frees Christians from required obedience to any law, whether scriptural, civil, or moral, and that salvation is attained solely through faith and the gift of divine grace'(thefreedictionary), then The Bible disagrees with this philosophy.

Though Christians are no longer under the Mosaic Law (including the 10 commandments) which was given expressly to the Nation of Israel, and ended when Jesus died(Colossians 2:13, 14), the scriptures clearly state that God still has requirements that need to be followed and obeyed by Christians(Matthew 7:21-23)(John 15:12-14+17). And though obedience to GOD'S laws, far outweighs obedience to man's laws, when the two disagree(Acts 4:19+20 / Acts 5:29), the Bible indicates clearly that we MUST obey the authorities here on earth, because they are allowed a certain amount of power (by God) to keep order, which benefits all of us.(Romans 13:1-7). When the Mosaic covenant and all it's individual laws ended, it was encompassed in the new Christian law of love (Matthew 22:37-40)(Romans 13:8+10)to be 'written on our hearts'. If we LOVE our neighbor, we will not do harm, and if we DON'T , we 'have not come to know God, because God is love' (1 John 4:8)
