Yes, there are some scriptures that have two meanings and some prophecies that have double fulfillment.  If by “deliberately ambiguous” you mean difficult to understand, I definitely agree with that especially with Paul’s writing and Peter also said this.  If you mean lacking clearness or an indistinct word, Jesus did have some words for the general public that he said were not meant for them to understand.  Although seeing they did not see and hearing they did not hear.  But for born again Christians, I think the word was meant for us to understand at least on some level.

So I do agree with you that there are hard passages.  Absolutely.
