Should religious doctrine and teaching be clear or ambiguous?

[BCRanger10]

Should a religion's teachings and doctrines be clear and concise or should they be ambiguous? That or how they are explained, taught, and presented?

How should doctrines that are in fact ambiguous and unclear be addressed?

[strateguy632]

Concise? Have you any idea how many pages of catechism and church father doctrine?

When jesus said ambiguous "i existed before abraham" they knew just what he meant and wanted to kill him for it.

The problem is when people try to stick their own idea, to a verse... that is not ambiguous, it is baseless. If it is not in bible it is definitely not "doctrine " and most of the bible is also not intended as doctrine for every detail.

As clear as can be.

Ambiguity is usually a symptom of an unconfident teacher or a student who fails to understand, whether from inexperience or outright refusal to.

LOL. Good luck with that. There are 45,000 different denominations of Christianity.

It should be a little of both.

[BCRanger10]

What should be ambiguous and why?

[sage2021]

It needs to be as clear as vodka.
