(Now, a Christian Fundamentalist would say, 'It's because they can't'. The fact Jesus Christ, the Root of David, hath prevailed indicates his unique position as the only 'Son of God'. And the scripture clearly bears this out.)
To the black and white interpretation perhaps, but we are not black and white, are we?

When the Truth is known, it is black and white, as you stated in your The Immortal series (and I've read Book I, Book II, & The lost Key Of The Buddha). The only time the Truth is neither black nor white is when it is not known.
When a true fact is discovered it is indeed black and white, but the point I made to Keith had a lot different meaning than this. By stating that interpretation of scripture or symbols is not black and white I meant that there is more than one true interpretation that can apply. Fundamentalism is black and white in a wrong way in the fact that they think scripture has only one true interpretation and that is it. In truth all symbols have many applications and thus a number of applicable interpretations. We can ascertain an interpretation is accurate by using the Law of Correspondences and verification from the soul.

Truth. No level of revelation contradicts another, the deeper levels just add more meaning to the basic Truth stated on the most obvious level.
Agreed
