there is the Epistle of Barnabas and the Gospel of Barnabas, the former is shown incorrect via its fake statements(the weasel conceiving via its mouth case in point) and the latter(sixteenth century) is a shown forgery. to boot, your counsel is plausible misguided: "What the Acta Sanctorum relatively says is: "The relics of Barnabas the Apostle have been present day in Cyprus below a cherry tree, having upon his breast the Gospel of St. Matthew copied via Barnabas’ very own hand. (Acta Sanctorum, Jun II, p. 422.)[sixteen] "[a million].

these outlaw Gospels, were removed from doctrine because they did not fit the churches needs. these scripts have information in them that contradicts the teachings of the church.
alot of these books touched on practicing magic, pagan rituals, and other 'heretical' subjects.

It wasn't written by Barnabus.
It wasn't written during the lifetime of any of the apostles.
It was never widely accepted by the whole church.
It was a cheap and obviously heretical imitation gospel, that contained strange things that Jesus and the apostles never taught.
Fraudulent, deceptive junk. Always was. Always will be.

i do not know...although all gospels had to have had the original blessing of the apostles. to be considered legitimate.... the language used to write something would not matter....also, i do not know enough to comment whether or not it contradicted holy scipture.

It is ironic, isn'it. They threw away passages that teach people to be good, then they preserve the "book of Song of Songs" which contain mainly pornography.

Did you read why? It was heretical. It was not written by a true witness to the events.
