Everything You Need to Know About The Gospel of Barnabas | إنجيل برنابا | The Muslim Gospel

[@Abdulwadud-I]

Wow, this is interesting, I had no idea about the Gospel of Barnabas… But that’s probably because I’ve never been interested in debating Christians or proving them wrong. Following the advice of the Quran 6:164 Say, ‘Should I seek a Lord other than God, when He is the Lord of all things?’ Each soul is responsible for its own actions; no soul will bear the burden of another. You will all return to your Lord in the end, and Then He will let you know what you were disputing about.

The Gospel of Barnabas isn't authoritative for Christians.

As an ex Muslim agnostic, I think healthy inter-faith debates are crucial. Particularly for a Muslim, it's important for you to know the origins of your religion, even as a believer if not a critic

[@Dis-u7p]

@@thenun1846 In my place, a debate is deemed unproductive. It's because there's something important before seeking knowledge, attitude. I don't have formal religious study, but formally, I think it's called 'fiqh'. Allahualam. This attitude isn't something everyone has. And I have to agree that debate isn't productive because most debates I found aren't for the truth seeking purpose but for ego contests. Doing my own research is more fruitful than watching a debate, tbh.

There are important points in the Gospel of Barnabas: 1- There is a manuscript in Aramaic written in golden letters in Türkiye dating back to a long period before Islam. 2- The narrative narration before the birth of Christ, then childhood, then the message, then the ascension is consistent and identical in events. 3- The size of the Gospel of Barnabas is larger than the size of the four Gospels combined. 4- In this Gospel, Jesus speaks as a prophet and messenger from God, not a single God, the Son of God, or a Trinity. 5- There are answers to Jewish questions and proverbs that explain previous and subsequent events. 6- There is respect for the Prophet Moses and the Torah. 7- There is clear good news about the Prophet Muhammad by name. 8- The Aramaic language was the dominant language in the time of Christ, not the Greek language in which the four Gospels were translated. 9- No Christian theologian or Muslim historian mentioned this Gospel before a copy of it was taken from the library of Pope Sixtus V by the Italian monk Framino. 10- It is impossible for the writer of this Gospel to be a Muslim because he differs in the narratives and all the narratives are close to the Jewish biblical narrative "Truly, I say to you: The moon will give him rest in his youth, and when he grows up, it will take him in its hands. Let the world be careful not to reject it, because it will kill the idolaters" ישוע מדבר על מוחמד בבשורה: באמת, אני אומר לכם: הירח ייתן לו מנוח בנעוריו, וכשהוא יגדל, יקח אותו בידיו יזהר העולם שלא לדחותו, כי הוא יהרוג את עובדי האלילים. وعن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه قال: ( انشق القمر على عهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فرقتين، فرقة فوق الجبل وفرقة دونه، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم اشهدوا ) متفق عليه. وعن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه قال: لقد رأيت جبل حراء من بين فلقتي القمر

It were anonymes writers who wrote it like the other gospels

[@Random-py2ur]

The Gospel of Barnabas is believed to have been written in the 15th or 16th century AD, long after the time of Jesus and the New Testament apostles. It is distinct from the Epistle of Barnabas, which dates back to the late 1st or early 2nd century AD. The Gospel of Barnabas is considered a pseudepigraphical text, meaning it falsely claims to be written by Barnabas, the companion of the Apostle Paul. It is often associated with Muslim apologists due to its content, which aligns with Islamic teachings, such as the denial of Jesus as the Messiah and the prediction of Muhammad. The text was likely created to discredit traditional Christian teachings and has been widely dismissed by scholars as a medieval forgery.

[@cityconven]

The Gospel of Barnabas was present and circulated and distributed to members of the Christian community and was used by “Pope Gelsius I”, Until the year 492 AD, he ruled that it be banned along with many other Gospels that did not adhere to his version of the faith It was forbidden to read it and it was confiscated from everywhere, but the Pope's library contained this book. All these events took place in the fifth century AD, that is, before the birth of the Seal of the Prophets, by about 78 years. And before God sent the Prophet Muhammad with the message of Islam at the age of 40 ,may God bless him and grant him peace, (78+40 )= 118) years.

where is the original manuscript of the Gospel of BARNABAS?! The Gospel of Barnabas was accepted as a Canonical Gospel in the Churches of Alexandria till 325 A.D. In 383 A.D., the Pope secured a copy of the Gospel of Barnabas and kept it in his private library. In the fourth year of Emperor Zeno (478 A.D.), the remains of Barnabas were discovered and there was found on his breast a copy of the Gospel of Barnabas written by his own hand. (Acia Sanctorum Boland Junii Tom II, Pages 422 and 450. Antwerp 1698). The famous Vulgate Bible appears to be based on this Gospel. The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church asserts: *Toland, in his "Miscellaneous Works" (published posthumously in 1747), in Vol. I, page 380, mentions that the Gospel of Barnabas was still extant. In Chapter XV he refers to the Glasian Decree of 496 A.D. where "Evangelium Barnabe" is included in the list of forbidden books. Prior to that it had been forbidden by Pope Innocent in 465 A.D. and by the Decree of the Western Churches in 382 A.D. The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church asserts: Gospel of Barnabas was declared a rejected book in the Decretum Gelasianum by Pope Gelasius [Pope of Rome 492-96]. According to E. Von Dobschutz, it is a private compilation which was composed in Italy (but not at Rome) in the early sixth century.

I'm hearing about the Gospel of Barnabas for the first time. Never came across a Muslim who ever referred to it before. In any case, you raise a good question though, if a Muslim is claiming GoB to be the authentic gospel, then why does he not take guidance from it? If there is a Muslim in the comments section who believes GoB to be the authentic gospel, then I would be interested to know what he has to say on the issue.

[@arbitScaleModels]

I'm a Muslim who has read it and has read some research on it. My view is, as I read it, not once did I feel I was reading a Muslim text. Whoever wrote GOB was not an educated Muslim, as the entire text is preoccupied with sectarian middle ages issues, which have no parallels in Islam. Furthermore, the author gets a lot wrong about the Quran and Islam. However, the text may have some earlier material mixed in according to some scholars which needs further analysis: Which gospel was the author borrowing from? What middle ages issues was he addressing? What non-biblical content has been proven to be accurate, indicating older material? Where the heck did he get his ideas about the Quran and Islam!?!?!?!?

The Gospel of Barnabas in my estimation has recorded gospel traditions around 25 percent familiar with Pauline gospels, 25 % familiar with Islamic Traditions and have around 50% unique gospel traditions. That unique 50% will tell us the author is not a Pauline Christian nor a Muslim. For example, calling Muhammad as the most awaited messiah is not a Pauline concept nor Islamic but it is the concept of the Nazarene christology as per the 70 Weeks prophecy of two mesiahs - (1) messiah the prince or Jesus and (2) messiah most holy or Muhammad. The only group having connection to both Pauline and Islamic traditions are the Nazarenes. Most likely the author was a nazarene and in fact he was apostle Barnabas. His original gospel most likely written in either Hebrew or Greek. Jerome translated it poorly in Latin and in the 14th or 15th century somebody from the priest in the Vatican ( as per research by prof rodney blackhirst) translated again in poorly manner the Latin of Jerome to Italian. What we have today is merely a poor Italian translation from a poor Latin translation. When the Latin copy came out, many known people in Europe had able to either heard or even read the book like Dante, Cramer, Monnoye, Roland, Sale, etc.. The Spanish copy was an attempt by Muslim moriscoes in Spain though not being preserved due to the Spanish inquisition. Most likely one of the reasons of the inquisition is to stop the copying and spreading of the gospel of Barnabas because it is detrimental to the catholic church and was succeeded.

[@cityconven]

the Gospel of Barnabas was present and circulated and distributed to members of the Christian community and was used by “Pope Gelsius I”, Until the year 492 AD, he ruled that it be banned along with many other Gospels that did not adhere to his version of the faith It was forbidden to read it and it was confiscated from everywhere, but the Pope's library contained this book. All these events took place in the fifth century AD, that is, before the birth of the Seal of the Prophets, by about 78 years. And before God sent the Prophet Muhammad with the message of Islam at the age of 40 ,may God bless him and grant him peace, (78+40 )= 118) years.

[@PedroJrArceno]

The Gospel of Barnabas in my estimation has recorded gospel traditions around 25 percent familiar with Pauline gospels, 25 % familiar with Islamic Traditions and have around 50% unique gospel traditions. That unique 50% will tell us the author is not a Pauline Christian nor a Muslim. For example, calling Muhammad as the most awaited messiah is not a Pauline concept nor Islamic but it is the concept of the Nazarene christology as per the 70 Weeks prophecy of two mesiahs - (1) messiah the prince or Jesus and (2) messiah most holy or Muhammad. The only group having connection to both Pauline and Islamic traditions are the Nazarenes. Most likely the author was a nazarene and in fact he was apostle Barnabas. His original gospel most likely written in either Hebrew or Greek. Jerome translated it poorly in Latin and in the 14th or 15th century somebody from the priest in the Vatican ( as per research by prof rodney blackhirst) translated again in poorly manner the Latin of Jerome to Italian. What we have today is merely a poor Italian translation from a poor Latin translation. When the Latin copy came out, many known people in Europe had able to either heard or even read the book like Dante, Cramer, Monnoye, Roland, Sale, etc.. The Spanish copy was a translation attempt by Muslim moriscoes in Spain (Latin to Spanish) though not being preserved due to the Spanish inquisition. Most likely one of the reasons of the inquisition is to stop the copying and spreading of the gospel of Barnabas because it is detrimental to the catholic church and was succeeded.

Any Gospel is true(for Christianity) only if in the Canon.

[@ARM-WWW]

Islam is not about Mohammed but about Allah, what christians call God The Father. The many stories you mentioned present in th gospels are not in the qura because the coran is neither a book of stories nor it is a history book. Quran is the devine authentic non altered word of GOD which becomes the constitution and the Last Testament. Hence, if you want to believe in the God and read the Quran, you will the see the non-comparable difference in the Quranic text and other texts. Mohamed died more than 1400 years ago but the Islamic religion (not tradition) not gone any weaker because Islam and Quran are not about Mohamed but it is a way of life.

[@MrLosches]

Islam is about Muhammad. It revolves around him and only him alone. It's a good thing that non-existent Islamic books called Taurat and Injeel do not exist (what a coincidence). If Islam as religion and Muslims as a people existed prior to Muhammad as far back as Adam like Islam would gave us believe, we would have a lot of "Islamic" history before Muhammad. It is so much about Muhammad that Muslims are so triggered if you "insult" Muhammad, you even consider such issues as blasphemy against your prophet. It's as if he is divine. Problematic social issues that arises from Islam are centered around Muhammad, hardly about Allah.

[@dkf343]

It’s a way of life, but the details are almost entirely derived from ahadith. What Dr. Reynolds stated is entirely correct. The way of life you mentioned prioritizes the sunna, the example of Muhammad. Why do many Muslims brush their teeth with miswak? To emulate the Prophet. In a khutbah or even casual conversation, hardly anyone will state “Subhanahu wa ta’allah”, when hearing the name of Allah, but nearly every good Muslim will repeat “Salla Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam” upon hearing the name of Muhammad. In a very real way, Muhammad occupies a central role in Islam analogous to that that Jesus plays in Christianity. Is anyone considered a Muslim if they just recite the shahada of the hanifs (Ashhadu an la ilaha illa Allah)? I dare say that nearly no Muslim would agree.

In Surah Al-kahf also mentioned there was a slave of Him that had more knowledge of the unseen more than Moses a.s. and he tried to study under the saint. But this is just my understanding, whatever what they do is accepted by God or not is their own responsibility. At the time their guider/teacher was Jesus a.s., Budha a.s., etc but in this era until the End Hour is Muhammad(s.a.w.). There's a command that commands us to stick with the majority as there's a consensus if there are different opinions among the ummah. Anas bin Malik said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘My nation will not unite on misguidance, so if you see them differing, follow the great majority.’”- Book 36, Hadith 25 So, do with your own risk.
