Only if *EVERYONE'S* interpretation includes aspects of God's intended meaning. Try to read Izzy in context. Izzy is saying that there are deeper levels of understanding an issue that enhance our perspective without invalidating our previous understanding. Unfortunately, sometimes somebody brings their understanding from the imagination of their mind, and it just does not fit in the puzzle anywhere. There is sometimes the other scenario, where somebody embraces an imagination of their mind, and then comes the truth of God. In such situations, the truth does invalidate the original speculation, and it must be discarded in order to embrace the truth. Peace be with you.
