Nah, it's more fun if god is completely inept at conveying his wishes (why else would we need prophets?). I mean, if everyone under the sun can't have their own definition of what the bible means, it'd just be too easy. God could easily make everyone in the universe instantly know of his presence and end ALL confusion with regards to all the various religions (and his true desires for mankind) - but chooses not to because.... well, I don't really know why.... but I'm sure it can be chalked up to "The mysteriousness of god"....That's one of the points we've all been talking about. The dogma CLEARLY CONTRADICTS ITSELF. Not working on the Sabbath is in the 10 commandments. It's a commandment for Christ's sake! It doesn't say specify anything or go into any more detail than that.
"But the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God; you shall not do any work—you, your son or your daughter, your male or female slave, your livestock, or the alien resident in your towns."
This is one of the major objections atheists have towards organized religion; each individual believers subjective interpretation. Which is why we end up with thousands of sects of Christianity. Perhaps if there was a god, and Christianity was the correct religion describing it, there would be only one Christianity.
Or he just doesn't exist and we might as well be asking "Cameron McTavish The magical leprechaun" for guidance...
