How can Gods Word be true, if the author of the Gospel of John wasn John?
God’s Word is not in error because it never said that John wrote this Gospel. Like the chapter and verse numbers, the title of this Gospel, was not the work of the inspired author of this Gospel. These things later came to be included, but they were not part of the original text written by the author. Besides all of this, God’s Word has always contained the evidence needed to correctly identify this author. This misidentification was not a mistake in the scriptures, but rather it was a misinterpretation or erroneous assumption on the part of those who later read something into the text that isn’t there. [See pg. 19-20] If the cover of a Bible was misprinted “Holly Bible” that error on a cover which is added to the Bible cannot call into question the accuracy of the words of the God inspired authors of scripture. The same thing would be true for anything else that was not a product of the original authors of the books that make up the Bible. Any errors made by those who add something to
