...the 4 Gospels each have a different purpose . John is meant to establish the divinity of Jesus .


Exactly correct.

This is why I say Christianity is a religion of tradition, not literature. Beliefs are passed down from generation to generation, regardless of text. Give a man with no knowledge of religion a Bible, he will comprehend it as something completely different than what a Church goer will say.

It is a religion of tradition...and that tradition is the Bible.

I'm surprised, this is very well written and flows quite well.  Bravo. I see some very interesting points in there, but I'm no expert on the bible. I imagine this thread will not make for good posting, as usually when someone posts scientific evidence of something that is somewhat rigorous, it's ignored, just as this probably will be ignored due to its depth and scope and by those who will say 'TLDR'

That is what I advise people to do: research and come to their own conclusions.

Thank you for your comment :)

Number 3: contradictions is easily disputed. It is quite obviously a difference in specificity in each of the Gospels, in both cases presented, not a legitimate contradiction.
