The war on the Gospel of John is the repeated demoted and downplaying of the Gospel of John to the point where few Christians learn much about this Gospel any longer, despite initially being the most important one as written by the most beloved disciple of Jesus, John the Apostle. The most-quoted verses of the Bible are from the Gospel of John, yet it continues to be marginalized by liberals. The demotion of this Gospel hinders evangelism.
The stages in this demotion and marginalization of the Gospel of John include:
- early dilutions of this Gospel that obscure its powerful meaning, including adding an apocryphal, confusing John ending and the very liberal, doctrinally incorrect Adulteress Story;
- placing the Gospel of John last of the four Gospels, which makes no sense as a way of Ordering the Gospels;
- removing its regular use as a New Testament reading from the liturgy as part of Vatican II of the Roman Catholic Church, which is also followed by other Christian denominations; and
- removing the regular reading of John's Prologue ("The Last Gospel") from the liturgy.
- liberal slanders of the Fourth Gospel as "antisemitic" (despite its emphasis on Jewish feasts as the only book in the Bible to mention Hanukkah)
