To reason on Christology, climb outside the contents of the Bible and look on it from outside, as you would look at any piece of literature.
Consider the motives of each writer, their individual contexts, the process taken to decide which writing was considered "orthodox", the external religious politics, the external secular politics, and so on. Search for the reason a particular piece was selected and similarly the reason a piece was rejected.
Apply these factors when considering the doctrine of the nature of God. In particular, trace the direct influence of various emperors of the eastern Roman Empire in defining orthodoxy, and how the official state church followed those edicts.
The emperors thought they would bring peace to the riven Christian Church. They did not; all they achieved was stifling of debate of the subject.
The discussions carried on here are sedate. During the 5th and 6th centuries, Christians murdered, tortured and humiliated other Christians because they had a different Christology. These murderous exploits decimated the eastern church and opened the way for Islam; it also caused an eastern religion to be limited to its European foothold.
Today we can respect that others have the right to their views.
