Ambiguity

Post #1

Post by nobspeople »

Some say 'love' is the most important word in christianity. Others may say it's 'god'. Or 'righteousness' or 'justification'. The list could be lenghtly.
But perhaps, the more important (unofficial?) word within christianity isn't any of these. Maybe it's ambiguity?

1: the quality or state of being ambiguous especially in meaning
The ambiguity of the poem allows several interpretations.
b: a word or expression that can be understood in two or more possible ways : an ambiguous word or expression
2: UNCERTAINTY

For discussion:
Does christianity have ambiguity within it, or is that simply the result of 'the ignorant, uneducated reader' of biblical texts?
Have a great, potentially godless, day!
