What is vague in the book of John to you?
He recorded what He thought was important that Jesus said. So I guess you really think Jesus was vague.
You are assuming that the stories were not religious fiction. If they were fiction then they were just those writers' own opinions on what Jesus should be saying and doing.

I was actually referring more to 1st John, which many Christians believe was written by the same author. I don't know if that is true as far as the authorship, but they could have both come from the same religious community.

Would you please show me why you say this.

Thanks in advance
Because it states in the end of the Gospel who wrote it...It was the beloved disciple...And that was not John, however, with a little close reading you can discover who it was...
