Ravi talks about the Trinity and that even it, there is a diversity of roles but a unity of purpose. He went on to suggest that our individual expressions of faith, found in different denominations, function in a similar manner. Although we may all express our faith differently in each denomination, to the extent that we agree on the fundamentals of the gospel, we are united even in our diverse expressions of faith. To me this makes sense and is really a rebuttal of the argument that different denominations are a diss against the Christian faith. Human societies and cultures are different but we are all human beings, and at a fundamental level, we are all the same. For we all came from one blood, as Paul puts it.

The comparison that Lewis gives is the word “gentleman.” It’s real, original meaning was simply a man who had a coat of arms. It has over time come to mean a man who is polite, honorable, and chivalrous, among other things. While it is better to be the latter, it is still not the meaning of the original word, and the word has therefore lost its subjective meaning. As Lewis claims, a “gentleman” is now nothing more than a person whom the speaker likes or admires.

I guess what it all boils down to is perfecting our way of articulating our arguments so that they carry the most possible weight and credibility.

Again, NOT trying to be a punk here! Just trying to share a little wisdom. Seriously though, AWESOME article! I especially enjoyed the layout, and the quotations from St. Francis (being Catholic and all). Thanks for sharing, keep on!!
