Fair enough; for my money it could easily be both. - Edit 1

"Inauthentic" is a loaded term. My point is that it's either (1) Gnostic because of the use of "wife" instead of "bride" due to Biblical terminology or (2) a forgery.
I am strongly inclined to say the former requires the latter. However, if it were neither it could still just be using an unprecedented term for the Church.
