Remember PAUL differed with BARNABAS due to effort of PAUL in pleasing the ROMANs. One of the difference was the devinity of Jesus.

Paul is one of the biggest fraud in known history. paul can be proved right only through his writings or his supporters writings. Neither in old testament nor in four gospels there is a single statement in which Jesus says that "I am god or worship me". Rest all christian/paulist beliefs are nothing but an attempt to reconcile between Abrahamic religion and roman paganism. Almost all signs of christianity are borrowed from roman paganism. Be it cross or christmas, be it original sin or sunday as weekend.

There were and are lots and lots of gospels. The roman era has a highly educated population. Early Christianity was splintered into incurable cults. The state sponsored Roman Catholic church wanted to standardize on one set of dogma and doctrine and selected the gospels that supported that one vision.
Same thing Church's do today.
The non selected gospels are the Apocrypha.They are neither better or worse than the selected gospels, simply carried slightly different versions of the same message.
Paul was an educated jew that walked over 20 thousand miles spreading christianity and kept it out of the dust heap of history as another discarded cult.

Looks like you got suckered into believing the biggest Muslim forgery known to modern times. No one except Muslims believe the Gospel of Barnabas is authentic. It was written no earlier than the year 1400. It's longer than all the other four gospels combined, and it makes references to contemporary events as if they were happening in the time the gospel was supposably written. Don't be a sucker. Do the research.
"The Gospel is considered by the majority of academics (including Christians and some Muslims) to be late, pseudepigraphical and a pious fraud; however, some academics suggest that it may contain some remnants of an earlier apocryphal work edited to conform to Islam, perhaps Gnostic (Cirillo, Ragg) or Ebionite (Pines) or Diatessaronic (Joosten), and some Muslim scholars consider it genuine. Some Islamic organizations cite it in support of the Islamic view of Jesus; Islamic views are treated below."
Nice try, Muslim. Islam will never be able to replace Christianity.

1 Corinthians 3:11 11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.
I would be interested in knowing where you heard that Paul changed Jesus's techings.
Here is a small article that shows Paul's teachings are in agreement with the teachings of Jesus.
"WERE PETER, JOHN AND JAMES IN MAJOR DISAGREEMENT WITH PAUL?
"The following passages from the Gospel-New Testament prove that these men were friends and in complete doctrinal agreement.
"A. Paul says in his letter to the Galatians 2:1-2,9-10,
"Fourteen years later I went up again to Jerusalem, this time with Barnabas...I went in response to a revelation and set before them the Gospel that I preach among the uncircumcised (pagans)...for fear that I was running or had run my race in vain.
"James (the brother of Jesus), Peter and John, those reputed to be pillars, gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship when they recognized the grace given to me...All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor..."
"B. In Acts 21:17-20, perhaps 5 years before his death, we read of Paul's last voyage to Jerusalem. It says,
"When we arrived at Jerusalem, the brothers received us warmly. The next day Paul and the rest of us went to see James (the brother of Jesus), and all the elders were present. Paul greeted them and reported in detail what God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry. When they heard this they praised God..."
"C. Finally, in the second of the two letters which Peter himself wrote we read these words,
"Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave to him...His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction."
II Peter 3:15-16.
"These verses show Paul traveling to Jerusalem to check whether his preaching agrees with the preaching of Peter, John and James.
"They show him having good relations with James at the end of his life.
"They show that Peter calls Paul's letters "Scripture".
Galatians 2:11-16 does report a confrontation where Paul rebukes Peter, but the last quotation above proves that they were later reconciled. " (1)
This show that Paul had disagreements but in the end they all reconsiled and all apostles including Paul agreed on the teachings of Jesus. So Paul taught the gospel of Jesus Christ just as the eye witnesses of Jesus teachings, Jesus apostles, taught as well.
Gospel means "Good News" so there are only four gospels because these are the only texts that covered the life of Jesus and his teachings. Most of these other "Gospels" that you mention were written 100 - 250 years after the death of Jesus Christ and contain no eye witness testimony. The Gospels and other books of the New Testiment contain eyewitness statments because they were written with in 30 - 60 years after his death.
Most of these kinds of false staments that put doubt on Paul's teachings can be cleared up is you just read the Bible for yourself instead of trusting some authors word for it. I trusted authors as authorities on the subjects they were writing on and not having some hidden agenda in their own books. Remember most authors are very biased toward their own opinion and will slant the facts toward their point of view. That does not mean the author has not done their home work but they distort facts to make their point. You usually have to do your own homework and fact checking to find out the real story especially in the explosion of Gnostic books that have come out in recent years.

That is idiotic did you do research on that or just believe what you have read on that link, Belief in Christ isn't the fault of one or many men, I don't believ because anyone told me to, I believe because I was tired of my life and talked to GOD like He was real, and He spoke back, end of story.
