– A 1500-year-old Bible found in Turkey claims Jesus Christ was not crucified
– It also states he was not the son of God but a Prophet
– Religious authorities insist that the book is authentic

Earth-shattering news are coming from various websites! The 1500-year-old Bible, which was discovered in Ankara, Turkey’s capital, in 2000, refutes the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Moreover, it says that he was not the son of God but a Prophet, who didn’t die and ascended into heaven alive.

It also states that it was Judas Iscariot who was actually crucified and calls Apostle Paul the Impostor. This information was taken from the gospel of Barnabas, who in this work is one of the twelve apostles.

There is a theory that the modern Bible was formed out of four canonical gospels by the Catholic Church during the Council of Nicea, while the Gospel of Barnabas as well as many others were ommitted.
The book along with antiquities, illegal excavations, and explosives were reportedly confiscated from a group of smugglers in a Mediterranean-area operation. It is written in the Aramaic laguage with gold letters and onto loosely-tied leather.

The Bible that contradicts the New Testament teachings of Christianity is reportedly valued up to 40 million Turkish Liras (about $28m). While authenticity of the book is still under question some experts and religious authorities believe that it is original. However, some scholars branded the Gospel of Barnabas Bible a forgery written during the Middle Ages. Meanwhile, the Vatican has asked Turkish authorities to let them examine the contents of the book.

The new discovery to me was never a means to fault the belief system of Christianity rather a very important artifact that rewrite history long forgotten.
Before now christians only referred to Jesus as son of God but now many call him God the scenario of calling Jesus God is very recent and a need to address this become important.

Please, without offensive nor abusive comments, contribute your view about this and how the said Ancient Bible should be adopted or discarded.

This must be the corrupted bible muslims were talking about, finally we found it.

Here are some highlights regarding the 'gospel of Barnabas'


The Messiah - Jesus or Muhammad?

John the Baptist denied that he was the Messiah when challenged by the Jewish leaders (John 1.20). The Gospel of Barnabas makes Jesus deny the same thing in much the same words:

Jesus confessed and said the truth: ‘I am not the Messiah ... I am indeed sent to the house of Israel as a prophet of salvation; but after me shall come the Messiah’. Gospel of Barnabas, paras 42, 82

Who was to be the coming Messiah, then? Elsewhere the Gospel makes Jesus say "The name of the Messiah is Admirable ... God said: Wait Mohammed; for thy sake I will to create paradise ... Mohammed is his blessed name" (para 97). Here the author of the Gospel of Barnabas completely overreaches himself for the Qur’an clearly states, no less than eleven times, that Jesus alone is the Messiah. The Bible confirms this too on many occasions (John 4.26, Matthew 16.20) and one quotation from the Qur’an will be sufficient to prove the point:

O Mary! Lo! Allah gives you glad tidings of a Word from him, whose name is the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, illustrious in the world and the hereafter. Surah 3.45

The title here is Al-Masih, "the Messiah", and Jesus himself is called Al-Masihu Isa, "the Messiah Jesus", elsewhere in the book (Surah 4.171). So [size=14pt]the Gospel of Barnabas incontrovertibly contradicts the Qur’an when it declares that Muhammad was to be the Messiah[/size]. No Muslim can be true to his own holy book while at the same time trying to defend the Gospel of Barnabas as an authentic Gospel. undecided

What is very interesting here is the discovery that this Gospel not only contradicts the Qur’an but also itself. In the prologue to the book it speaks of "Jesus the Nazarene, called Christ" and states that it is the "true Gospel of Jesus, called Christ". [size=13pt]The author does not seem to have been aware that Messiah and Christ are interchangeable terms, meaning the same thing[/size]. The latter derives from the Greek word Christos which is a translation of the original Hebrew word Mashiah.

Going through the posts i can understand that ..........
out of other thing Jesus was never a God but alleged to be one due to miracles he was able to perform as proved to some prophecies.
Paul credibility was equally questioned in the bible to be hypocrite, this maybe due to the fact that he was known to be one of those hunted down anyone believed in Jesus then even till the demise of the christ.
out of all disciples, Paul was the one who deem it fit to write Bible and gospels christians follow today as ultimate source of their religions law.

Well, it may not be so necessary because the God revealed in the Bible is not the same as Allah in the Quran so there might be no need ironing things out. They are parallels.

What many of you don't and will never understand is that our opinion of who Jesus is not just because of what was written about Him in the scripture, but the evidence of what was written about Him.
Tell me of anyone born of woman both past and present who has claimed he is what Jesus claimed, and still be relevant in history for 2000 years.
Concerning your bible, even when Jesus was on the earth his own people denied him, what's the big deal about a single account written about him by an individual whose identity we cannot even substantiate.
To us who has tasted Jesus, we cannot but pity you and pray for you who has not found Him.
May the Lord have mercy on us all.

There are many false writings about Jesus and Father,
they are not a new thing.

Yes I do with all sincerity, stories about the Prophets you mentioned were clearly written in Holy Quran and many of our scholars had wriiten a lot books which gave enough account about their nation.

Jesus birth no one ever denied its uniqueness and more than two chapters of the Holy Quran gave account of this.

But there was a story in the Bible about a man who is without father, mother (Hebrews 7:3) , there in the same Bible account of how Adam and Eve came to be, did their story remain till today or not?

Adam was not referred to as God though created out of mud but how about Eve was it because she is a woman.

The uniqueness of Jesus's birth was not enough to see Him as God and didn't render Him inferior or more superior among other prophets.

In the Bible the questions about Jesus proclaimed Himself to be Go was rhetoric.
May Almighty Allah guilds us aright.

Would you still believe if I quoted the prophesies of these prophets that contradict your claims here:

Paul did not write the Gospels. Peter, Jude, James, John were all disciples and their Inspired writings are there for all to see.

how about the Bible? did Paul write the Bible or not.

and for the prophesies post them, I will be glad to find them educative.

The Bible was Inspired by the Spirit through a host of writers who wrote at different periods some never meeting the other and yet all their writings agree as one as a result of the Spirit's inspiration. Paul was one of such as well as Luke, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Baruch, John, Peter, Tertius etc

Bro are you saying this because you think I don't know how Bible was compiled or for something else?

The first copy of Bible to be presented in christian world written solemnly by Paul we can only talk of other versions which of cause differ to each other.

I red a book about the compilation of the Bible, there are so many goofs as the book claims in trend of compilation but Paul at the end of the day was credited to be the compiler

Interesting! So the compiler is also the writer? So Paul wrote the Pentateuch? Paul wrote the Psalms, Paul even wrote the Revelations (after he had been killed) and went on to compile the Bible when some books therein were written after he had been martyred!

In the áncient' Bible Judas Iscariot was crucified contrary to what is the New Testament.

Judas Iscariot (died c. 30–33 AD) was, according to the New Testament, one of the twelve original disciples of Jesus Christ, and son of Simon. He is known for the kiss and betrayal of Jesus to the Sanhedrin for thirty silver coins. Should this be true about Him, then quest deep in to his life before and after Jesus crucifixion is important.

what is your take about this, if actually Judas was not crucified how did he dies.
