So long as we conceive of the interaction between grey space and black and white space as asymmetrically dynamic: whatever is found in the grey to be worthy of God can become black and white, and whatever is found to be incoherent and question begging in that which has been received as black and white can become temporarily grey until it is ready for reintegration. Otherwise if we think of black and white versus grey spaces as statically conceived permitted speech, the propositionally atomised “we must agree on” versus the loaded ”godly people disagree on, so you are not allowed to be sure” terms of so-called primary and secondary issues, meaningful progress is forbidden. (Since final authority is forever deferred to the question-begging authority of these unaccountable godly people.) “For me,”- and I use those two words with an unashamedly kantian refusal to be held captive by other people’s grey zones - the trinity, the incarnation and universal salvation is but a 3 dimensional coherent lens without which the details of theology are ultimately - and to be honest even proximately in the most elementary Monday morning sense - incomprehensible.
