And my primary Scripture reference for that is John 3: 16

You do know, I assume, that a group of Biblical scholars (after extensive study and discussion) concluded that John is the LEAST reliable of teh Gospels. It has, according to these scholars, NONE of what Jesus actually said, or even his ideas. The Gospel of Thomas has more.

Anyone can call himself a 'Biblical scholar'........and in fact, many whose sole purpose is to disprove what God's word says (albeit unsuccessfully), call themselves just that.

There is more historic evidence for the Gospels INCLUDING John, than for other ancient texts that you accept as valid. They pass all the tests of authenticity.

It is a spiritual warfare that seeks to diminish their validity. History validates them all.

Are you referring to "The Jesus Seminar?"
