Talk:First Epistle of John

Self-published author adding himself

An author who has written a self-published book just admitted that he himself is the author and he reverts to insert himself. The book clearly does not meet our standards for reliable sources in an academic article, as it is a self-published work with no peer-review. I will leave it for now, but if no strong arguments are given for what like very much like self-promotion, it will be removed from the article. Jeppiz (talk) 12:14, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

As no counterarguments have been been presented, I will proceed to remove the self-published book as it does not meet our requirements for academic works. Wikipedia is not the place for self-promotion, especially not when done in the 'drive-through' way and (it would seem) by using multiple accounts for the same purpose.

If he could not shed blood then his death was meaningless.

Section 'Purpose' contains "and other passages say that Jesus shed blood, and if he could not shed blood then his death was meaningless." What does this refer to in the epistle? Nac Mac Feegle (talk) 11:15, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
