I agree the Spirit of the Law is the way all should walk. However one can not murder but keep the SPirit of Do not murder.
Most people have no clue what "the letter of the Law" is, they think it is reading it...
The letter is disecting the words in a way like the pharisees in which they look for "loopholes" in what is written to actually transgress the Law and it's intent while ACTING like they keep it...
Here is an example of the Letter v the Spirit for those who have no clue what Israel did 2,000 years ago and still do;
Deuteronomy 5:22, “These Words יהוה spoke to all your assembly, in the mountain from the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a loud voice, and He added no more. And He wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me.”
Deuteronomy 6:8, “and shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.”
Deuteronomy 11:18, “And you shall lay up these Words of Mine in your heart and in your being, and shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.”
Spirit or letter? The Spirit says one thing The letter can be twisted continually

They are worn by male observant Jews during weekday morning prayers.

Rather than have the Law in their heart they “followed it” letter letter for letter, they tied the paper on which the Law was written to their head and arm.
"bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes"
The proper implication of this Law would be to Spiritually binding them to your hand by doing the Laws in ones life. Spiritually binding them as a frontlet between your eyes would be keeping them in your mind.…
