Xtian apologists who make excuses for their books do not cut it here.
If I was a Christian apologist, I would say 40 CE instead of the more accurate and academic 70 CE.
Edit: now the earliest piece of manuscript dates to they say roughly 68 CE from Qumran as 7Q5 (if you have a chance, these scrolls are worth a look merely for the academic value...they even did them in copper), but that is only a partial section of a page of the gospel and partial is not nearly good enough to know what the actual text was in full.....you know because we can't be sure how much the text was changed....aka the earliest manuscripts don't have added sections we have in modern Bibles.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
