Then you are fucking blind....or more probably deluded.
This shit you call "gospels" was never intended to be read the way you insist on reading it. Whoever the authors were they were not writing part of a coherent series. These were stand-alone books written at different times for different audiences. "Matty" seems to have taken "mark" and tried to put it into a jewish context, "Luke" (Lucius, btw, a Roman name) seems to have tried to put it into a greco-roman context replete with references to Roman political figures like Augustus, Tiberius and Quirinius.
And, john, with its fantastic claims seems to have been written for a Harry Potter audience! In many cases it seems that john strives to clean up some of the messes created by the earlier writers....for instance he obviously couldn't stand the idea that fucking jesus stood there like a pussy while Pilate questioned him so he creates a whole dialogue for his godboy to say. Or, the synoptics agree that jesus was so beat up that he couldn't carry his cross so they invented some guy named "Simon" to do the hard work but "john" is having none of that shit. No "simon" is needed....jesus takes a licking and keeps on ticking so he says "get lost, motherfucker....I can carry my own cross!"

Stuff like this seems to fly right over your head because you are so deeply invested in believing that it is ALL TRUE.
Well...it isn't.
