Ecclesiastical Pragmatism... is the cause of all laxity and apathy in the church today.
Not that going back to scripture, and scripture alone, will eliminate all problems that could arise (as after all, like anything to work it must be followed), but QUALITY is far better than QUANTITY.
But is there any room at all for what is proven? Yes, but it should never substitute, take presedence, override, contradict, or replace the authority and primacy of scripture.
