We see wholesale rejection all the time, they just can't bring themselves to accept that this is what they're doing. Hell, they had to shitcan old magic book in it's entirety even though it was required for their very claim, as they saw it, and regardless of the fact that they still attach it in order to maintain the grift, lol.
Being very clearly contradictory and being vague, are...I think, different things. If new magic book had better editors, and was just a tad bit more vague, then the contradictory nature of it's many different iterations of christ wouldn't be so pronounced, and that whole non-problematic problem wouldn't exist to be ignored in the first place.
We might also do well to keep in mind that the reason for the inclusion of these specific stories was, ultimately, a negotiation between their popularity and their content being amenable to those who would be or would become authorities here on earth. Revelation is a great example. It was regarded with skepticism, but people loved it...and it's useful, so it made the cut. The character of christ, as it changes, is often ancillary to some other more important theological position we find, when the change in the character of christ isn't the vehicle for that position itself, ofc.
(as I understand it I'm not blowing your mind with anything you don't know, lol, just carrying on the convo)
As far as finding proof texts for two beliefs..well..that's to be expected, since these stories actually came from communities with different beliefs. Both are clear in those respective beliefs, and I doubt that their originators could have envisioned them being cobbled together into a fraudulent monolith.
