With all these possible interpretations why would God make it so difficult for us to know exactly what to believe?

He didn't. We did. Adam rejected God's Word and decided he could obtain knowledge his own way. That's what we've been trying to do ever since.

I haven't recieved a straight answer on this yet.

No one is saved by works. Salvation is by grace through faith. It isn't hard to understand, it isn't hidden. It's just very hard (impossible) for sinful human beings to accept.

Matthew 18:
1At that time the disciples came to Jesus and said, "Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"
2And He called a child to Himself and set him before them,
3and said, "Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

It obviously doesn't take a sophisticated philosophy, a Ph.D. from the Ivy League, or a Nobel prize in math - just the faith of a child. Simple.
