You can only view Scripture as "obscure" and "flawed" if you come at it with your own agenda, insisting that it answer your own pet questions. I would suggest a different perspective: if something in Scripture is not very clear or precise, then apparently God did not deem it necessary to make this item clear, suggesting that God did not consider it so important for us to understand this item. The main teachings of Scripture, e.g. the person of Christ, His death, and His resurrection, are very clear and are not obscure at all, suggesting that these are the things that God is most concerned that we understand.
