I agree that there isn't any contradictions. The differences you may see is that in some chapters the number of people, things, etc. may differ and the situation in which Jesus says the same phrase may differ. However this doesn't mean it was the same exact event. Merely that Jesus did similar miracles elsewhere and preached the same thing more than once. Also by the time the Catholic church was formed (around 300 A.D.) there were thousands of copies of various letters and gospels (in many different languages.) It would be literally impossible for someone to alter the original text to a point that we actually lost some texts. Because any altered texts would stand out as heretical and would have been destroyed. In the event of mass change. All the texts would have to be rounded up (virtually impossible then and now).

The fours gospels contain many differences, and a few direct contradictions as well.
I'm sure there are comprehensive lists all over the web that will give you details.

There is no difference in the message but only in how the message are being relayed. The four gospels (written by Mattew, Mark, Luke and John) are accounts of the life of Jesus Christ on Earth by four different eye-witnesses. They wrote their eye-witness account in difference ways. This is the basic difference. You can compare this difference with the way CNN and BBC report news and events. Therefore, my friend, there is no difference in the gospel as in relation to the overall message and theme, but the difference can be seen in the style used by the different writers to present their accounts. I hope it helps.

The real difference is that one of the Catholic Pope's decided that he had God's permission to start removing entire books and pages from the Bible in order to strengthen the Catholic Church's hold over its people mind's. And it seems to have worked in most churches. The crazy thing is they freely admit to what they did it but they also add that God gave the Catholic pope's the ok to commit such a criminal act.

The 4 gospels are wrritten from 4 different perspectives. There are differences, as well as, parallels. No contradictions. The best way to find them is to search it for yourself.

The difference is that the first three had borrowed ideass but the book of John does not have the ideas from the first three.
