It is impossible to understand doctrine with a quick reading from cover to cover. It takes hours of study on every doctrine to understand the nuances and technical relationship with other doctrines.
I've seen this a lot, theists study passages and wrinkle out bits of clarity that aren't there.
If they spent the same amount of time studying any other book they would discover that that book whatever it was held surprising truths and answers.
Its not the book the reader.
