The Gospel of John specifically contradicts several points in your original post

Will definitely check them out and I appreciate you giving your perspective.

I guess my only push back would be the idea that the Bible could be misinterpreted at all. In my mind it is a work of literature and however one interprets it is god speaking through it 🤷‍♂️
