Is there actual proof that the Gospels of Barnabas might be the real bible?

Question

Just a month ago, I read the Gospels of Barnabas and it said ubelievable quotes mentioning Muhammad's name and his coming. Yes, I am Muslim but I am unsure and sort of confused. After reading this, it brought 100% confusion. Help!!!

Answer 1

As salaamu alaikum,

Muslims believe in the teachings of Jesus. It's not that we believe in "the bible" or "a bible" or any bible, but simply the message Jesus brought. As we know, all accounts of all of the prophets prior to the Final Revelation, are corrupted and have errors etc. That would include the Gospel of Barnabus. HOWEVER, it is interesting to note that the Gospel of Barnabus does not contain some of the shirk found elsewhere in Mathew, Mark, Luke & John of the New Testament. Barnabus was actually Jesus' "right hand man", he was the closer disciple than Matthew, Mark, Luke or John. And everyone (biblical scholars etc) knows that Matthew, Mark, Luke nor John actually wrote the books named after them. You could look into the Gospel of Barnabas to see if they actually think he wrote it, either. But even if he did, it would contain errors but it seems to contain alot less than what King James decided to preserve in a book they called "the bible".

Answer 2

The manuscripts of the Gospel of Barnabas date back to the middle a lengthy time period. both manuscripts which the Gospel is written in is in Spanish and Italian. Seeing as there is not any Greek or Hebrew manuscript for the Gospel, what makes you imagine that there replaced right into a duplicate of the Gospel on the Council of Nicaea? If there is not any manuscripts of the Gospel which date back to Jesus' time, then the Gospel loses it declare for authenticity. Proving that the 4 Gospels contained in the Bible are more desirable reliable than this Gospel because their manuscripts are the nearest to the time of Jesus. also the Gospel claims Joseph as Mary's husband, even as contained in the Quran her husband isn't stated and her surely protector is Zechariah. digital mail me once you've any further questions. i am going to ascertain them day after today, Sholam!

Answer 3

no

the New testament is the real Bible

note
".......The "Gospel of Barnabas" (G.o.B.) first appeared in Holland in 1709. This manuscript was written in Italian and supplied with footnotes in poor Arabic. The sources of the "Gospel" are unknown. This document is now preserved in the Imperial Museum in Vienna. ..."

few copies and in Italian with notes in poor Arabic does not a convincing case make

".... The following facts show that there is no external evidence for the existence of the G.o.B.:


i.
Neither from the time of the Apostles to the Gelasian Decree, nor thereafter was there any mention of a G.o.B.
ii.
The fact that certain Muslim scholars proved dishonest by removing the evidence in the Raggs' translation that proved the G.o.B. to be a forgery; that they omitted half of a sentence supposed to be about Barnabas' tomb and a Gospel in his arms; and that they promoted the G.o.B. as an anti-Christian argument, does not constitute external evidence either, but raises instead suspicion as to their bona fides. ..."

the church has rightly rejected this

Answer 4

The Gospel of Barnabas is a work purporting to be a depiction of the life of Jesus by his disciple Barnabas, but two earliest known manuscripts have been dated to the late sixteenth century (we have of fragments of the Biblical gospels that date at least to the early 2nd century, some believed to date to as early as 56 AD and later in teh first century, so if there were an authentic gospel of Barnabas of 222 chapters in length, as the Italian version is, we would expect to find thousands of fragments of a koine Greek version of great antiquity, but we don't).

The two versions we have are written respectively in Italian and in Spanish; although the Spanish version survives now only in an eighteenth century copy. It is nearly as long as the four canonical gospels together; with the bulk being devoted to an account of Jesus' ministry, most of it harmonised from accounts also contained in the Christian gospels.

The Gospel is considered by the majority of academics (including Christians and some Muslims) to be late, pseudepigraphical and a fraud; however, some academics suggest that it may contain remnants of an earlier apocryphal work edited to conform to Islam. Some Islamic organizations cite it in support of the Islamic view of Jesus, but for the documentary reasons I raised above, most assume it to be a fraud of Moslem authorship (such frauds are common regarding Jesus as multiple movements through the years, Gnostics, Ebionites, etc., have created fraudulent works to bend the image of Jesus to thier own purposes).

Answer 5

It is fiction, same as the bible and koran. Just words written by some old guys some years back; trying to influence people with their own personal beliefs. Unfortunately many still believe in this stuff. Hopefully one day mankind will wake up and discover that the whole religious mythology was just a passing phase in our growth and development as we evolve into bigger and greater beings.

Answer 6

The Gospel of Barnabas was heresy over 1,800 years ago.
Satan wants to put these heresies back into man's heart via the DaVinci Code.

Answer 7

i hear they're making a new version of the new testament... they're calling it "the latest testament" ... apparently they're going to write in that gays and muslims are accepted by God and that it is ok for a priest to have their way with the children if it is within the church walls... unfortunately, the buddhists and vegas prostitutes are going to have to wait for the next edition....

Answer 8
