I suspect you misrepresent what Mother Angela actually said, or at least meant. I doubt she was suggesting that it is impossible for humans to understand Scripture until they die; rather, I think you and she probably agree on such matters as the use of the gifts of God to discern the meaning of Scripture; even if not fully, at least with increased understanding over time.

I am not in the habit of misrepresenting the words of others..her exact words paraphrased were were we can not understand the words of scripture until we are in heaven, as an example she cited why Jesus would say "I am the bread of life" and have it mean one thing and say " I am the vine or I am the door"' have a different meaning
Poor think does not realize the problem is not the word of God..but the translation HER church puts on the words..

I am sorry if anyone has a problem with the clarity of scripture..but to be frank that is their own doing and not Gods.. Scripture is clear on the person of Christ, and the means of salvation..what small doctrinal differences might seem to exist are on matters not relevant to the message of the scriptures.. if it is not clear it says something about the spirituality of the person, not the word of God

1Cr 2:14 — But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned.

Scripture is clear on the person of Christ, and the means of salvation..

And yet disagreements on even those supposedly "clear" topics have led to actual and significant bloodshed -- not to mention schism after schism after schism.

if it is not clear it says something about the spirituality of the person, not the word of God

I see..... Well, no, honestly, I don't see.
