Short answer? The other gospels are mainly compiled stories from a Q source (Gospel of Thomas, probably). Gospel of John is a testimony.

That's a good answer, and thinking on the right lines.

From what I have noticed is that the Gospel of John is the Sovereign Kingdom of God approach then the other Gospels ....... Where believer who convert to Jesus Christ move from the kingdom of darkness where people lost to God dwell , into the kingdom of Heaven which God through Jesus has His authority ...... So when people are deconverted then they fall back in the world and into the hands of the Kingdom of darkness ...... Where people in ministry who fall away would find themselves in a spiritual authority which would be dangerous world and could live a very short life after that , as God anointing is removed then the devil can play

Don't worry, it's a very short and easy read, and you can finish it in an afternoon. Basically it boils down to this, the other Gospel writers were secondhand witnesses, being converted at some point after Jesus died (Luke for instance was a medic of some sort, and it shows from his descriptions of medicine). John is ascribed to Jesus's disciple John, but it is clearly not his writing style (we he his writing style in Revelations). Rather it was actually written by the "disciple whom Jesus loved." Who is this disciple? I won't give it away.
Lazarus...Fairly obvious...

John is the last left thus he can look for a chance to write about Jesus' deity.
But the Gospel of John wasn't written by John...

This is prophesied in the O.T. where the Messiah is called a branch.
The word in the Tanakh is "shoot"...

In Jer 23:5 the branch is righteous and will be a king.
Jesus never did any of this...



Quote:
In Zech 3:8 the branch is a servant. It is the only gospel that says Jesus came to serve not to be served.
This is speaking about. Zerubbabel...


Quote:
In Zech 6:12 the branch is a man---The Gospel of Luke traces Jesus genealogy back to Adam, the first man.
Again this is speaking of Zerubbabel...

The fact that omega feels his holy book shouldn't be more closely studied is astounding, but typical. God forbid a believer put the work into learning as much as possible about their book. It's either laziness or. ....well, it's laziness.
