Do differences in the synoptic Gospels compared to John's Gospel pose a threat to Christianity?
It is widely known that among several witnesses, there are always different versions of what was seen. Given that that is the case, then the differences in the gospels should be reassuring, rather than disturbing or threatening. They purport to be the works of four separate authors. Because they are so unique, yet containing similar content, it becomes easier to accept them for what they purport to be than would, say, four exactly similar accounts with all the same details.
