I have no doubt that
@bbyrd009 will correct me here, but here's my take on the so called murkiness in scripture.
God has allowed the scriptures to be written in as Mark said, a certain dialectic. And this has a purpose. It enables God to teach truth to some, and hide it from others. For example. The Jews, all of whom knew the scriptures quite well and allowed their children to attend synagogues and schools to be taught by the "scholars", did not recognise Jesus when He came. They killed Him instead, and used scripture too justify it. Yet there were some, and if course Jesus Himself, who could and did present those very same scriptures and come to a completely different conclusion. Yet both sides would claim to be taught and inspired by the Spirit... And both would be right!
KJV Matthew 13
13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
And if God had taught all Israel Truth, and they accepted Christ, who's to say that history would be better for Gentiles without that blindness coming in Israel?
And what of today? We have in this forum people claiming to be led of the Spirit, opposing one another, who's to say this is not intentional on Gods part seeing they all use the same scripture to support different concepts and doctrines?
I guess that is why we are not judged by what we believe or by doctrines we keep, but by our character... Fruit.
