I don't understand why you tie John and Revelation as one relates directly to the life and teachings to Jesus and the other to John's visions of the end days.

Because it is the same author and, well, because YOU did. You're quite forgetful.

No, you're twisting my words. John and Matthew tell the same story from different prespectives. Both are about the life and teachings of Jesus, not about the visions of end times that were written while John was exiled. I never tied them together, but because I included who wrote it, you think it matters. I hold all four gospels of equal importance, and the utmost when talking about Jesus.

Okay, so you were tying Revelation to John, not the book of John. I understand. May I ask why you hold the Book of John in higher esteem than Revelation?

Just from basic research, there are 3 books dated around 60 CE - Mark, Matthew, Luke.

Then 30 years after that, John and Revelation around 90 CE. 

To me, it seems a bit strange to hold Matthew in the same regard as Mark/Matthew/Luke.

I hold John in highest esteem than Revelation, because the Book of John is a retelling of events that happened to John firsthand (a lot believe that John and Revelation was written earlier than 90AD). A lot of things in the book conincide with the other gospels.  These 4 books (matthew, mark, luke, and john) are essentially the foundation of the Christian faith, of course you'd hold them higher.

Yea probably. Aside from his disgusting and vile preaches about hell, he generally acted like a good guy. I bet he'd be fun to hang around with.

Come, let us reason together. What preaching about hell are you referring to, exactly? Maybe you can give a quotation.

Hell appeared in the new testament from what I can remember. So I guess Jesus must have introduced it?
