The Gospels were not intended to be an accurate history, but religious philosophy.

If it's only philosophy, then how do explain the aramaic words of Christ only with His Disciples being written down on paper years later.

When Only His Immediate Disciples did He speak this language to? And anyone from those 11 that wrote anything down, would be an accurate testification to that historical event/relationship.

I refer to it as “religious philosophy” because I believe that was their intent. The Gospels were written down to aid in spreading the word, not to give a history lesson.
I can not understand why some get all up in arms when the term “philosophy” is used in connection to religion. What would Christianity be worth if it contained no guidance on how to live, or the meaning of life? In no way does the term philosophy denigrate religion.
