2 Peter differs greatly from 1 Peter in style and vocabulary causing scholars to question the authorship.

Answer 1

Discussing "authenticity" doesn't mean it's "untrusted" in a religious sense. It's still part of the canonical New Testament in all major Christian traditions. The debate is about authorship, not necessarily its theological value.

2 Peter is traditionally attributed to Peter the Apostle, but most critical scholars consider the epistle pseudepigraphical (i.e., authored by one or more of Peter's followers, using Peter as a pseudonym)
