Since you jumped to 1 Peter, does that mean you understand that the speech supposedly made by Peter in Acts is not in agreement with the message in the Book of John?
No.
The reason I referenced 1 Peter is to show you that the New Testament is consistent.
The Book of Acts is sufficient to prove that the Gospel of John is consistent with the other gospels.
Your contention, from your extra-biblical source, concerning John 9:22:
22 These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
has proven nothing. Since there is no incident in the gospels of someone confessing Jesus as the Christ in a synagogue during his ministry, we can neither confirm nor deny the veracity of the verse.
I have shown you, however, that it is a reasonable claim given all of the animosity that the unbelieving Jews had toward Jesus.

The Book of 1 Peter is not considered to be written by the apostle Peter. It is considered to be written about 80-110CE. You'll have to research that yourself. If you read the Book of 1 Peter you will notice that the overall theme is not the same as Peter's speech in Acts. 1 Peter sounds more like Paul.
Well if 1 Peter sounds more like Paul, you better not allow me to use it to prove anything. How convenient.

The story in John 7:53-8:11 is not in the earlier manuscripts, so it is a later addition. This also shows the book has been altered.
Do you have the earliest manuscripts so that you can claim something like this?
