Of course they do but so does it reveal when one knows what the other was trying to say and refuses to “Do unto others as they would want them to do unto them!”

when one is so caught up in the letter of the law they leaving out the spirit of the Lord.

That is what being a Christian is all about.

Monkey face I love this talk I have learn so much from it.
excerpt from;
Beware of Pride
President Ezra Taft Benson
http://www.lds.org/ldsorg/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=2354fccf2b7db010VgnVCM1000004d82620aRCRD&locale=0&sourceId=d8ff27cd3f37b010VgnVCM1000004d82620a____

The proud make every man their adversary by pitting their intellects, opinions, works, wealth, talents, or any other worldly measuring device against others. In the words of C. S. Lewis: “Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man. … It is the comparison that makes you proud: the pleasure of being above the rest. Once the element of competition has gone, pride has gone.” (Mere Christianity, New York: Macmillan, 1952, pp. 109–10.)
