God never abolished the Law, He fulfilled it! He just moved the Law Giver into our hearts and now that Law that lives in us convicts others of sin.
Jesus Christ is the Law Giver, He is the very essence of His Own Law. The only reason we don't "follow" the Law is because we have become the home of the Law.
Those who say we don't need the Law anymore are those who don't understand that the Law came to live in us when we became born again. We love the Law, the Law Giver, and everyone else who loves It and Him.
Romans 13:8-10
Fulfilling the Law Through Love
"8 Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. 9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law."
Those who love their sloppy grace and rejection of the Law cannot be born again. They have not repented through brokenness in their hearts and they have not admitted what God said. Anyone caught up in these movements need to ask God if they are saved. If they are saved then they must adhere to the truth God gave us. If they are not born-again they need to repent and trust Christ.
