I'll agree that there is no written prophesy such as this. If he quotes numerous prophesies that are obviously genuine and one that doesn't appear to be I am inclined to look deeper.

Various individuals were telling and retelling story after story. There was never "a gospel" to begin with.
Sure there was a gospel. Jesus' disciples were teaching it long before anything was written. You guys are going through the bible with a fine toothed comb looking for any discrepancy you can find. Even if you do find some, it doesn't at all prove that it message is false any more than can be done with most true accounts.
“We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.”
― Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion
This is a false statement. We are not all atheists! Richard Dawkins is a liar. Nothing he says is true.
Fuck me, that's a bold assertion. How can you know anything about what Jesus or his disciples allegedly said or did before it was written down? I think I may now have to convert to Ken Hamism: were you there? And if you can even misconstrue RD's quote about atheism, then you are just dishonest. Do you believe in any other gods? If not, you are atheistic about them.
