How have you personally wrestled with the fact that the origin of John’s gospel is shrouded in mystery?

Post Body

1.) Scholars are unsure who wrote it. Could be several different John’s. 2.) The gospel emerged through several compositional stages and an editing process 3.) Earliest John 18 manuscript is dated from ~125A.D-175A.D And this is just John! Many other NT writings are equally suspect.

I’m not an atheist trying to rile anyone up. I’m legitimately interested in hearing your responses. The only one I’ll have to ignore (sorry) is “God wouldn’t have allowed the Bible compilation to be anything but perfect”
