I'm answering with a question. Who thinks they have need for the law but the lawless?

 

[Joshua V]

I guess he means people will not follow the laws of Moses which say to love God with everything you have and to love your neighbor as yourself.

I believe Jesus is speaking about people forsaking the Law in the end of times.

Why do you need the law?

To know the difference between good and evil.

 

[Nanopants]

To know the difference between good and evil.

Then the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." -Gen 3:4,5

Isn't there a better tree to be eating from?

No. The devil is a liar.

He that has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves me: and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. John 14:21

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. -John 3:14,15

But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly.

Look, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughter had pride, fullness of food, and abundance of idleness; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. -Eze 16:49

What do you think it means?

It is pretty self explanatory. Lawlessness will abound.

Sin is transgression of the law.

It means in the end sin will be rampant and people will not be filled with God's love.

Agreed, but remember that Peter was a Jew; he already had the words of Moses and the law, and concerning the words of Christ he said:

"Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life." -John 6:68

Who gave Moses the Law? Was it not God?
