". But the fourth gospel, John's, imo is not friendly to Jews"

Wrong! John's Gospel offers everyone, including Jews, full forgiveness of sins and reconciliation with the Father through Jesus the son---a clean conscience and eternal life.

The Gospel of John is extremely friendly to Jews!

Here follows some unsolicited advice:

I don't think the NT is anti-semitic either (a few would like it to be though). Consider that pretty much everybody in it, including Jesus and all his disciples, were Jews. Almost (perhaps all) of the writers who produced it were Jewish as well.

Something else to consider. In English, Judean and Jew are two words. Not so, I believe, in Greek. One word, two meanings. Not unusual for a word to have multiple meanings in English or any other language - see any dictionary. We tell which meaning by context. As it happens, Jesus and most of his disciples were Galilean Jews.

Just some things for you to consider before you judge the work.
