The whole idea of dynamic equivalancy is flawed at the outset. Every discipline has it's language and that language has words with real meanings that communicate real ideas and concepts. Think about the sciences, economics, engineering, education, accounting, banking, mathematics. All these disciplines have a language and those people who desire to function within those disciplines learn the language and all the precise meanings of the terms so that they can function in their disciplines. Why should it be different for the Christian faith? Why do some believe that Christians, of all people, are unable to grasp the great truths of the faith without dumbing down the words? We have precise terms for precise doctrines, not to mention the Holy Spirit's help in illuminating these truths!

I believe that part of the reason we see so much disarray in the Church today is precisely because we have been lazy in learning and teaching doctrinal truths using the precise language we have been given. We could use another reformation to reclaim the language of the faith for the preservation of sound doctrine.

Trust the past to God's mercy, the present to God's love and the future to God's providence." - St. Augustine
