My only conclusion is that God was deliberately ambiguous.

Certainly some ambiguity would be highly likely given the human transcribers.

However, God could have overridden that were it a priority for Him.

And, there's no way The Bible Codes would work at all unless God had very precise control over not only the original documents but the most widely held copies used today.

Ambiguity in a list of areas of Scripture would require what God created man for; what Christ died to restore and what Holy Spirit came to facilitate anyway:

1) INTENSE, INTIMATE FELLOWSHIP BETWEEN GOD AND MAN
2) WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF THAT GROWING INTIMACY, INCREASING KNOWLEDGE AND CONFORMING TO THE WISDOM, PURPOSES AND WILL OF GOD.
3) THE DIALOGUE REQUIRED FOR THE ABOVE TWO.

It takes spirituality out of the rote, chronically and liberally flawed--human-forced KEEPING THE LETTER OF THE LAW and all the deadliness Christ noted that entailed. And it transforms authentic spirituality into a wonderous, spontaneous, creative, lively, LIFE BREATHED DANCE WITH ALMIGHTY GOD.

Further, there are a list of areas which, as Apostle Paul noted--are right for you but not for me; right for me but not for you; right for both of us but not others. The dialogue and dance alone--facilitated by Holy Spirit--the RELATIONSHIP OF INTIMACY WITH GOD ALONE affords any of us proper navigation of all such choices. The letter of the law will not do it. That will only bring death.

LIFE COMES, IN PROCESS, ONLY FROM THE DANCE . . . WITH HOLY SPIRIT BOTH THE ORCHESTRA LEADER AND THE MUSIC.

"My only conclusion is that God was deliberately ambiguous."

Are saying that the scripture is open to more than one interpretation and that God did this intentionally?

Scripture is extreamly compilcated, but that does not mean it is not clear. Even the invisible things of him are clearly seen.
