yes
for two seemingly diametrically opposed points of view
first...
Ambiguity implies uncertainty which leads to doubt which leads to more "refined" reading, thinking, consideration, contemplation, meditation and therefore to a better understanding
as opposed to
the mystic view that the ambiguity is essential to reach a spiritual awakening since it allows your mind to go past logic, rationality, proof and go directly into the spiritual "plane" ...in other words, allow yourself the ability to lose your self in the mystic experience; experience a sense of the infinite "godhead" that is in you already
Both views have valid arguments for their approach
both are equally inadequate to explain the totality of a religious experience...
Go with both, either or neither as it suits your own personality
As "they" say
" If it is not expressable in mathematical terms, it's opinion"

Have not checked to see what your previous line was. Uncertainty is a constant element of life; there is very little that we can know for certain. We attempt to deduce future events using logic, but it is only a postulate that it is legitimate to do so: we cannot prove that logic will always work. However, unless we postulate that it does, we cannot decide anything, so assuming it is clearly necessary. It is also necessary to assume that the future will happen according to the same rules that applied in the past -- again, because without assuming this postulate, we cannot predict anything of the future. But since these postulates are unproveable, uncertainty is inevitable.

I think that you should not just take what others say but do the research yourself you may be glad you did, and then too you will not be uncertain anymore!

YES!!! indeed beiong uncertain makes you question and hopefully search for answers and therefore bringing closer to spiritual enlightenment. I believe that knowledge brings us closer to enlightenment.

Be certain of this: Men died because they would not deny that they had seen the risen Christ. One may ask, "What about Muslim suicide bombers who die for their faith?" Many will die for faith or an ideology, but who will die for something they know to be false. The apostles of Jesus suffered miserable deaths because they could not deny what they had seen. Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and the door shall be opened. Pursue God with all your heart and He will reveal Himself to you, I promise.
