It seems Peter picked up on something different if you look at all the great public gospels he spoke. Peter, James and John seemed to be present at most of Jesus’ big moments, yet I don’t see Peter preaching that Jesus is God. A whole lot of people came to receive Jesus as the Christ and savior. “ John’s” gospel came 50 or 60 years after the foundational church was formed. So what kind of christianity do I have?

In the book of Acts Stephen says he saw a vision of the Son of man standing at the right hand of God. He was stoned for that. Why? Because it was seen as being blasphemous. Stephen was making Jesus equal with God. How can someone be equal with God without being God?
How do you know the Gospel of John came 50 or 60 years after the church was formed? And what difference does that make?
You have the kind of Christianity that doesn't recognize the divinity of Christ.
