For example, you're trying to integrate the exultation theologies found in the synoptic gospels with the incarnation christology found in the Gospel of John. The problem is further complicated by developments in post-New Testament christology and of course the christology of Witness Lee.
In general, even beginning in NT texts the Christian intellectuals were trying to understand Jesus through a lens of the Hebrew Bible and Greek metaphysics. They produced a large number of diverse portraits of Jesus that cannot necessarily be harmonized.
Of course, that won't stop Christian believers from trying. The results of their efforts have produced masterpieces of systematic theology. Nevertheless, the ultimate truth remains beyond the scope of human imagination.

I would agree with your conclusion.
