1. The Gospel of Barnabas is more authentic than the NIV or KJV,
meaning that human hands did not take out what they felt was
un-modern Christian. 2. If the Gospel contradicts the Qur'an, then rumours that a
Muslim wrote it or sneaked it into the Vatican where it was found on
the Popes book shelf, are false accusations because no Muslim would
write a Gospel that contradicted the Koran.
3. I strongly feel you are putting your faith too much in other
peoples claims with out equally considering the other side.
4. Although the Gospel of Barnabas is contradicting to the Koran,
this should make Christians want to validate it, I discovered why
Christians want to discredit it so bad:
-The Gospel of Barnabas states Jesus is
a Prophet of God, and not His Son-
" Jesus, having received this vision, and knowing that he was a
prophet sent to the house of Israel, revealed to Mary his mother,
telling her that he needs must suffer great persecution for the
honour of God, and that he couldn't any longer abide with her to
serve her. " ( Gospel of Barnabas Ch# 10 )
" And when he had said this, the crowed drew high, and when they
knew him they began to cry out: ' Welcome to thee, O our God !' and
they began to do him reverence, as unto God. Whereupon Jesus gave a
great groan and said: ' Get ye from before me, O mad men, for I fear
lest the earth should open and devour me with you for your
abominable words !' Whereupon the people were filled with terror and
began to weep. " ( Gospel of Barnabas Ch# 92 )
" Then Jesus, having lifted his hand in token of silence, said: '
Verily ye have erred greatly, O Israelites, in calling me, a man,
your God. And I fear that God may for this give heavy plague upon
the holy city.....I confess before heaven, ....that I an stranger to
all that ye have said; seeing that I am man, born of a mortal woman,
subject to the judgment of God, suffering the miseries of eating and
sleeping, of cold and heat, like other men, Whereupon when God shall
come to judge, my words like a sword shall pierce each one (of them)
that believe me to be more than a man, " ( Gospel of Barnabas Ch# 93 ) Gospel of Barnabas: 93
This would explain Jesus
being a Muslim
-Mohammad is foretold in Christianity-
"...And though I have been innocent in the world, since men have
called me "God," and "Son of God," God, in order that I be not
mocked of the demons on the day of judgement, hath willed that I be
mocked of men in this world by the death of Judas, making all men to
believe that I died upon the cross. And this mocking shall continue
until the advent of Mohammed, the messenger of God, who, when he
shall come, shall reveal this deception to those who believe in
God's law." ( Gospel of Barnabas Ch# 220 )
" ...After those years shall the angel Gabriel come into hell,
and shall hear them say: "O Mohammed, where are thy promises made to
us, saying that those who have thy faith shall not abide in hell for
evermore?" 'Then the angel of God shall return to paradise, and
having approached with reverence the messenger of God shall narrate
him what he hath heard.' 'Then shall his messenger speak to God and
say: "Lord my God, remember the promise made to me thy servant,
concerning them that have received my faith, that they shall not
abide for evermore in hell." 'God shall answer: "Ask what thou wilt,
O my friend, for I will give thee all that thou askest." ( Gospel of
Barnabas Ch# 136)
"....Wherefore, when the messenger of God shall come, he shall
come to cleanse away all wherewith the ungodly have contaminated my
book." ( Gospel of Barnabas Ch# 124)
This would explain likeness of Muhammad foretold in the current
day Bibles
-Ishmael was to be sacrificed by Abraham, NOT Isaac-
" The angel Gabriel answered: ' Arise Jesus, and remember
Abraham, who being willing to make sacrifice to God of his only -
begotten Ishmael, to fulfill the word of God, and the knife not
being able to cut his son, at my word offered in sacrifice a
sheep...." ( Gospel of Barnabas Ch# 13 )
" Abraham loved his son Ishmael a little more than was right,
wherefore God commanded, in order to kill that evil love out of the
heart of Abraham, that he should slay his son: which he would have
done had the knife cut. " ( Gospel of Barnabas Ch# 99 )
This would explain the
name switching in Genesis
-Jesus was never crucified nor killed, but was raised up-
"..Then God seeing danger of his servant, commanded Gabriel,
Michael, Rafael and Uriel, his ministers, to take Jesus out of the
world. The holy angels came and took Jesus out by the window that
looketh toward the South..." ( Gospel of Barnabas Ch# 215 )
" Judas truly did nothing else but cry out: 'God, why hast thou
forsaken me, seeing the malefactor hath escaped and I die unjustly?'
Verily I say that the voice, the face, and the person of Judas were
so alike to Jesus, that his disciples and believers entirely
believed that he was Jesus; wherefore some departed from the
doctrine of Jesus; believing that Jesus had been a false prophet,
and that by art magic he had done the miracles which he did: for
Jesus had said that he should not die till near the end of the
world; for that at that time he should be taken away from the world.
" ( Gospel of Barnabas Ch# 217 )
This would finally explain the
tensions in the resurrection claims surrounding the
resurrection.
