. English is a very poor language for expressing abstract and theological concepts.

That may be one of the dumbest things I've ever read on this forum.

English is the most intricate of languages. It contains more nuance and explicit meaning than any other language on earth.

Read the Bible and see some of it.

One of the great virtues of the English language is it's ability to borrow from other languages so easily. Look at that word “theo logical”!

For an interesting book on the English language see The Story of English, the companion volume to the PBS series of the same name.
