Can rules happen to be in accordance with the Spirit of the principle? Sure, but once a rule is placed into a delivery system that teaches obey them that are your rulers, the spirit of the hear is no longer involved with the PRINCIPLE, but instead has moved to strictly being in operation with the RULE issuer.

Which is why the condition of the heart need to be addressed in our preaching rather than the measure of a rule. To have a tv or not to have a tv is not the issue, for instance. The issue is the heart of man that decides to sit and watch it. The heart of the man will be tried, tested and proven in his viewing choices. Yet, an untried, untested and unproven heart is not an overcoming one at all, being merely held and protected by outward restraints in its infant state, never allowed to be fully developed.
