The concept being put forward is linking two things incorrectly
1. Doing righteous deeds, things that would be called right
2. Lawless deeds, things that are evil and against the Gods law
Stumbling blocks - Matt 13:41, Matt 18:7, Luke 17:1 are things that cause
people to sin or do evil.
Lawless deeds or in greek anomos is "a" - without "nomos" - law
Lawless
Outline of Biblical Usage [?]
1. the condition of without law
a because ignorant of it
b because of violating it
2. contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness

So anyone who does right things, amen, they are right and judgement is not coming
because of them.
Judgement is because people do evil, and do not repent of it and search out God and
forgiveness.
It is impossible to call right deeds lawless, because by the laws definition they are
obeying the law. So this is just a miss-use of language.
The language is attempting to say anyone labelled as detracting from unconditional
salvation is evil, and a stumbling block, and identified as someone who talks about
morality and sin. This is because the Christ is defined as unconditional faith who
forgives everything and is why we are in heaven no matter how we behave.
This is an impossible somersault, from a God who lays out law and His principles
from the beginning to the end of His book, to then hold none now matter is absurd.
Gods standard is through love in our hearts we fulfil the law. The law of Moses is
no more because Christ is the eternal atoning sacrifice, and has removed the need
for Israel and the temple. Christ puts us in victory by giving us love and healing
our wounds.
There is a vast difference from having no law (lawlessness), and fulfilling it, obeying
it all.

Matthew 13:41 (NASB)
[SUP]41 [/SUP] "The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness,
Stumbling blocks are those that say we need to do righteousness in order to be righteous. It is a self-righteousness/holiness D.I.Y humanistic mindset. There are deeds of righteousness but they are not our own righteousness - it is Christ's. Get this wrong and we create a religion which in effect denies the work of the cross and resurrection that our Lord did.
The whole earth and it's inhabitants are belonging to the kingdom of God. - including believers in Christ ( which Jesus calls wheat or sheep ) and the tares which are the unbelievers in Christ's work - these try to establish their own righteousness by "what they do or don't do". This is lawlessness and is indeed sin - it's the very same sin of Adam and Eve. Trying to be like God without God.
The law is a manifestation of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Works-based salvationists mindsets operate from eating from the very same tree.
We are to eat from the tree of life which is Christ Himself. This will result in His life of righteousness being manifested in our lives and it is a sweet smelling savour to our Father. He loves His Son and we are one with Him for all eternity.
