"If we want to go with reliability then the four gospels are much more reliable."
This has got to be the dumbest comment ever posted on these forums, seriously. John is not even considered as a biography of Christ because it mostly focuses on the spiritual aspects of Christianity. The synoptic gospels were written by anonymous authors and were not given the names that are attached to them today till at least the middle of the second century. Mark being the oldest of the three was not written till about 70 A.D. some 40 years after the alleged death of Christ, and none of the the gospels are first hand accounts of the story of Christ. Not to mention that none, zero, zilch of the original documents are extant today what we have are copies of copies of copies. All these works have been written and reworked so many times both in editing and translations that I bet they are nothing like the original documents. So much for reliability.
"I'm actually going to see a Biblical scholar on the historicity of Jesus on Thursday. Do you have any short questions you would like to ask and I will post them on here."
That's like asking the pizza maker if eating pizza everyday is healthy?

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
