In regard to your point mike, here is a good example of what you just said.
The rich young ruler. he had kept all the commandments since his youth, even Jesus marvelled at that. But one thing that tested his real person was, when Jesus told him to sell all and give it to the poor.
His nature spiritually over ruled his nature mentally. So even though he was veru religious in a good sense he didn't have that spiritual power and nature of God to do the right thing in the name of compassion.
