I know it is the word of God because it is accurate.
How you know it is accurrate? And please do not tell me it's accurate because it is the word of God. That is just circular reasoning. Give me some real reasons why you think it is accurate. Please tell us why the Gospel of John is more accurate that the Gospel of Thomas.
Also remember, that the man in the hypothetical situation does not know anything about Jesus and the life he lead. That man just read the two gospels for the first time and both are completely new to him. He does not know which story will become part of the Bible because it was not compiled yet. The man just has the two gospels and has to make a choice based on solely on those two gospels. Why would that man choose for the Gospel of John.
