It literally has been since the beginning. That's the whole point of bringing up the Gnostic texts. It's not that I think everything in them is correct. It's to point out that Christianity is not as cut and dry as you're trying to make it.
Also, since you bring up being a Lutheran, you should consider that Martin Luther had his own personal pseudocanon where Revelation enjoyed only a diminished stature. Luther's antilegomena I think it's called.
I don't mean to be insulting by the way. But in some respects you do make my argument for me. Which books count and which ones don't have been an ongoing matter of dispute since before the formation of Orthodoxy as we know it.
