Why does the gospel of Barnabus contain so many large geogrphical errors?

Question

It claims Jesus traveled around the Galilea by boat to a list of cities which included some which were neither by the sea nor fishking villages

see http://www.answering-islam.org/Green/barnabas.htm
In chapters 20-21 of this book we are told about Jesus sailing to Nazareth and being welcomed by the seamen of that town. He then leaves Nazareth and goes up to Capernaum:

Jesus went to the sea of Galilee, and having embarked in a ship sailed to his city of Nazareth. ... Having arrived at the city of Nazareth the seamen spread through the city all that Jesus wrought (done) ... (then) Jesus went up to Capernaum (chaps. 20-21).

There is a major error in this account. Nazareth was not a fishing village, in fact it was about 14 km from the sea of Galilee and situated in the hills of a mountain range! [4]. Capernaum was the fishing village that Jesus arrived at with his disciples, not Nazareth [5]. Nazareth and Capernaum were two towns which Jesus often visited with his disciples

Answer 1

In fiction, doesn't anything go?

Answer 2

There are no geographical errors in the gospel of Barnabus. Barnabus got it all absolutely and technically correct.

God, however, changed everything afterwards to make it look like Barnabus had muddled everything up. For example, after Barnabus had written his gospel, God changed the simple fishing village of Nazareth into a mountain-locked village.

The gospel of Barnabus is, however, riddled with geogrphical errors, which means errors in the placement of certain aquatic foliages within literature.

Answer 3

The so called Gospel of Barnabas is a Muslim forgery of the 15th -16th Cent (and not to be confused with the ancientPost Apostolic Epistle of Barnabas which is also rejected as biblical canon by the Church)and was probably written originally in Italian.

Answer 4

that's no longer what Barnabas says. in actuality, the only reason it become excluded as Canonical become because of the fact it referenced "lands previous the seas".... which we now comprehend do exist, yet Church leaders of the time got here upon superb. For a stable volume of time it become examine in the time of Christian conferences and held as reliable as different writings. It would not sell Islam in any way. I purely took a seem on the cyber web website you linked to and it would not even come on the threshold of describing the real apocryphal e book named for Barnabas. yet another bogus attempt to convey down Christ and Christianity. Barnabas become a fellow preacher and companion of the Apostle Paul. he's reported by ability of brand interior the e book of Acts. He did have writings as previous as maximum different scripture and older than the e book of Jude. What you have examine and are advertising as his writing is a lie.
