there is a gap between thought and writing. this is accentuated when translating.

in fact the better way to understand is by comparing to books and looking for the meanings they can agree on.

OK, then if I'm reading you correctly, the gap you speak of is not filled by God at the point of the actual writing. I would expect you to say that such gaps are filled by the Church later. If so, then we have the situation of God allowing error into His Holy word, with the intention of having those errors later corrected by only a certain group of men (with acceptance by the laity). To those without access to those men, the Bible would just be another book filled with errors. That would by necessity then make the consensus patrum the highest earthly authority, well above the Bible (full of errors).
