Muslims, Is the Gospel of Barnabas the word of Allah?

Question

Why do Muslims use this false Gospel to support their veiws when it is not in agreement with the Qu'ran? Was Muhammad the Messiah?

aed exactly clearly a fraud but it seems to be used by many Muslims to support their beliefs...unfortunately none are answering my question.

Eyota God inspired the Gospel even according to your Qu'ran So to say it is not of God is to call YOUR Allah a liar!

Eyota the original Qu'ran is not in existance today ..you obviously need to learn more about your religion and aborgation which is when Allah many times changed his words because he found a better one.

Answer 1

Excellent. Im glad you were able to see it.

For others, the very 1st line in the GOB says Jesus is the Messiah but in chapters 42, 70, 82, 96 97 198, and 206 it says JEsus denied being the Messiah.

Also in chapter 20 or 23, it makes the mistake of saying Nazereth is a costal town when its 15-20 miles inland.

Its been proven false for centuries!

Answer 2

Muslims who claim that the New Testament of the Bible is not the original Gospel have searched in vain to find the "real one"! The best that some Muslims could do was to offer a book entitled "Gospel of Barnabas."

The Gospel of Barnabas is known only in Italian, and no ancient writer ever referred to it. It mentions things that were not used until centuries later. Furthermore, other gospel forgeries written in Arabic were also found in Granada. They were discovered after 1588, and the forgers were Moors.

Though one Muslim writer, Ata ur-Raham, has confused this with another writing called the Letter/Epistle of Barnabas, there is no similarity except for the name. The Epistle of Barnabas is a thoroughly Christian document, though it is not to be regarded as scripture. It teaches Jesus' sacrificial death, resurrection and lordship.

As regards the "Gospel of Barnabas" itself, there is no question that it is a medieval forgery ... It contains anachronisms which can date only from the Middle Ages and not before, and shows a garbled comprehension of Islamic doctrines, calling the Prophet the "Messiah", which Islam does not claim for him.
There are no copies of the Gospel of Barnabas among the Dead Sea Scrolls
There is no evidence that the Gospel of Barnabas that Muslims promote is an ancient document. Therefore the 14th century date for its composition remains valid.

The Gospel of Barnabas is not an authentic Gospel of Jesus
The book is a rewrite of the Biblical Gospel most likely by a Muslim who wanted to show that Jesus taught Islam and predicted the coming of Muhammad. This type of rewriting has been done elsewhere by Muslims in the Gospel According to Islam. This behaviour is disgraceful.

According To Islam there is no word of God except the "Qu'ran" although the Qu'ran itself acknowledges the Scripture "The Bible". Yet, Muslims claim that the "Bible" was counterfeited. And because the "Qu'ran" acknowledges Judaism and Christianity as heavenly religions, Muslims try to find such mutual acknowledgment in the "Bible" especially the "Gospels", The thing that has turned the situation into a literary fight "contest" between the flowers of the the two religions,; each try to prove their religion is right while the other is wrong. This fight is not bad if it is fought in its literary form or content. The problem is that this mental argumentative issue turns into a real fight for existence where murders, assassinations, killing, devastations and oppressions take place everywhere on our fated globe.

Answer 4

I don't know of any Muslim who would call the book of barnabas the word of Allah (swt). The word of God that came down through Abraham and Jesus and many other prophets was a spoken word. They themselves did not put it down on paper or have it memorized by others. They just taught from it. Current Books that are used by the Christians and Jews are seen as Holy books but they are more in the line of Hadith than the word of Allah (swt). They may have some validity. But they will also have flaws because they are not word for word as was sent to the prophets. They are a collection of historical records of what the prophets taught and they have been edited several times.

Muslims DO NOT Believe that Mohammad was the Messiah. They believe Jesus is, but they do not use the word Messiah in the same way the Christians do. We do not believe he is God. God willing, Jesus will return to earth and when he does bring about the end of time and Judgement day. Mohammad was the last prophet and he brought the Quran. Which carries the same message brought by Abraham and Jesus and all the prophets only in Arabic and it has been memorized by millions of people in its original Arabic text.

Answer 5

The Torah (OT), and the Bible (NT) both were the word of Allah but they were not preserved scientifically the way the holy Quran (the final testament) was and changed remarkably . Now ask your self on what evidences you depend to support your claim that the OT and he NT (not new any more) are authentic word of God when we have many contradictory versions and the original version in its language was lost long time ago. The holy Quran (FT) is still in its first version, never been changed in its original language without any errors but with plenty of outstanding miracles that only close-minded people will dispute. I may take long to explain but if you are interested just google miracles of the Quran or visit this site:

Answer 6

U are talking nonsense. There is no other Quran that is difference from the present Quran. Quran has never change and will never be changed no matter what happened. The only changes that will happen will be its words will be disappeared from its page when ALLAH S.W.T going to end and vanish the entire world. As such, your question is not relevant.

Answer 7

Gospels are something strictly "christian" in nature that is written by humans. decided for relevency by humans. added or not added by humans. The point muslims make is that it being excluded is wrong. who are men to decide which of Gods words are relavent and which arent?

Jesus is not God. God id God. Jesus is a prophet.


Funny shibble that youd say Muslims are willing to change scripture. The quran is the same today as it was when it was first written. The original survives in tact and is the original all reprints are compared against.
UNLIKE the holy bible which has had things ommitted , added 1000's of versions.

they dont change scripture to fit anything. On the contrary Islamic scholars compare to what original texts there are and compare to see what christians have altered and to see what they choose to ignore of Gods word

Answer 8

Muslims are willing to change scripture to agree with their doctrines. They insert Mohammed into the Bible, the Bagavad Gita, and probably the Shih King, too.

Answer 9

Muslims (who ain't insane) have self assurance both Muhammad (pbub) and Jesus were prophets. What they both did became lead their human beings. What they both were is Holy men. there is not any debate in Islam related to their status in the eyes of Muslims. As for generalising and calling us all (Muslims) devil worshippers and desirous to blow up all Christians etc....why in the international ought to i prefer to blow up a number of my personal kin and my bestfriends? I stay in England too, i'm Muslim yet i do not see myself as blowing up my personal u . s .-why ought to I?

Answer 10

I dont understand all your fancy shmancy talk. All I know is that Islam is a very simple, direct, and well-guided religion and if you took the time to truly understand it, you would realize what it consists of. And Prophet Muhammed was one of the messengers of god. He was chosen by god to spread the teachings of Islam.
