cd: While I am hoping that I am not one of those people afraid to think outside the box. How can one be spiritual while breaking the law sent to help us be spiritual. How about righteousness-if breaking the law (ie.Commandments) has no effect on the spiritual. How can the unrighteous be spiritual?Which box are we speaking of here? Thinking outside the bible perhaps?
