RE: Week 6 debate topic - Spirit vs Letter of the law
So essentially you are saying they should use both to get a balance? That would makes sense and I suspect that originally was the idea behind it, but it has become somewhat perverted.
Actually I'm saying that the purpose of the written law is to describe the intent or the spirit of the law. So the written is a tool given by the writer so that we have a chance of getting to the intent of what they were trying to say.
