What the gospels were written for was to establish the deity of Christ, His new covenant and his death burial and resurrection to establish the gospel.
If all of Jesus' "signs and wonders could fill libraries", I am amazed that no one else in 1st century Palestine took notice, outside of the cult that is.
Your arguments could easily apply to the Aztec or Inca religions; why shouldn't I accept Huitzilopochtli as being god (or, a god), or Vishnu, etc., etc.? Maybe Islam is the true religion? Or, some other religion on some distant alien world?
