Here are a list of over 30 points where John directly contradicts the Synoptic Gospels, we can show...
Well alrighty then, let's look at the first batch... to which I've added numbers connected to my answers.
1. Yeshua answered in parables, there are no real parables within the gospel of John.
2. The destroying of the temple, and then the bit about 'it being rebuilt in 3 days' is a lie, made up by false witnesses, according to both Matthew and Mark; whereas in John it is told as truth, and claimed to be in reference to the body....
3. Within the synoptic gospels, we find Yeshua turning over the money tables, and quoting scripture at them. Within John we find jesus being accused of tying knots at the end of a chord, thus making a whip, and then driving them out....
4. jesus in the gospel of John is said to be asked to a party by his disciples, which he answers no to; he then goes to the party secretly....
5. When asked about eternal life, Yeshua stated to follow the commandments and what's more to give up wealth and follow him. In John all you need to do is believe in his name, and that God sent him to the Jews.
6. Yeshua stated to receive grace, you should give grace, and should do good works without questioning reward. John creates the statement the lamb of God, which people then think overall implies....
7. Where as Yeshua sent his disciples out into the lost sheep of Israel; in John they are sent out into the world.
8. Where as within the synoptic gospels and in prophecy, 'he was lead up silently' to Pilate and spoke a word in response. In John there is a long conversation....
9. Yeshua warns against those that would come after in all 3 gospels, and use the term "ego i-mee" (I Am) to deceive many....
10. Yeshua said 'call no man on this earth your father'; whereas in John we find 'i, and the father are one' and 'that he whom has seen me, has seen the father'.
11. Throughout the Tanakh, and then in the synoptic gospels, the holy spirit existed; why would jesus then need to send....
12. Yeshua relates all doing the work of God (peacemakers), can become children of God; we find the term 'the only begotten son' used only within John.
1. the audience
Mat.13:13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
Jon.20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through His name.

3. why the whip
Jon.2:15 And when He had made a scourge of small cords, He drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen
4. why in secret
Jon.7:1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill Him.
7:5 For neither did His brethren believe in Him.
7:8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for My time is not yet full come.
7:10 But when His brethren were gone up, then went He also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
7:11 Then the Jews sought Him at the feast, and said, Where is He?
5. how comes eternal life
Jon.12:50 And I know that His commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto Me, so I speak.
Jon.14:21 He that hath My commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me: and he that loveth Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him.
Rev.3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept My word, and hast not denied My name.
6. blood of the new covenant
Mat.9:13 But go ye and learn what [that] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.*
26:28 For this is My blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.*
7. to the 10-tribed nation
Mat.15:24 But He answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Mat. 21:43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.*
Mat.28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, unto the end of the world.
8. the witnesses
Mat.26:37 And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
9. versus
Mat.5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the Law, till all be fulfilled.
7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work anomia. [a nomos = without Law]
Jon.12:50 And I know that His commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto Me, so I speak.
Mat.16:15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? [question of the ages]
10. because, equals
Mat.23:8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, [even] Christ; and all ye are brethren.
11. one Spirit, one Shepherd
Jon.1:32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon Him.
10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear My voice; and there shall be one fold, [and] one shepherd.
12. new bottles, born from above
Mat.9:17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
Jon.3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

* The Jews were righteous by paying for blood sacrifice at the temple. Lost Sheep of the 10-tribed House of Israel didn't have that upon which to fall. Mercy not Sacrifice applied specifically to them. For they are the nation which brings forth the fruits of the Kingdom Gospel. From the hands of Judah/Levi/Benjamin the Kingdom of God was ripped.
=======================
In other words, wizanda, you are wrong on all counts. Should I post this on your thread as well? Or have some witnesses of Jesus already done so?
