The fact that originally general revelation needed supernatural revelation [even for unfallen Adam in the garden] does not mean that it lacked clarity. To do their work effectively your hands and feet need eyes to direct them and these eyes, in turn, need the light of day to do their work. But the need of light does not spell any inherent defect in the eyes as the need of eyes does not spell any inherent defect in hands and feet.
In Defense of the Faith volume 1: The Doctrine of Scripture (Philipsburg, Presbyterian and Reformed, 1967) p64
So, then, a doctrine of clarity and sufficiency for the purposes given as part of God's overall provision. Happy, eh?
