1500 Year Old Bible Confirms That Jesus Christ Was Not Crucified

Greetings and peace be with you Saleem Khan;

Thanks for sharing; it is not clear from the article, if the Catholic church will be allowed to study the document, in order to form an educated opinion. It would also be interesting to read the actual words of the document, interpreted into modern language; and I just have a question mark over gold lettering, this seems strange to me, but then I am not a scholar.

In the spirit of praying to ‘One God’

To those who are interested as much as I am of the wisdom contained in the Gospel of Barnabas and how he narrated what happened in those last days of Jesus on earth, I will paraphrase the ending of that Gospel:

At this time while the Virgin Mary, Jesus mother, was standing in prayer, the angel Gabriel visited her and narrated to her the persecution of her son. Then the angel said, "have no fear, Mary, because God will protect him from the world." As a result, Mary in tears left Nazareth and came to Jerusalem to the house of her sister Mary Salome, seeking her son. Yet, since he had secretly retired beyond the Cedron River she was unable to see him any longer in this world; except after the deed of shame, because of the fact that the angel Gabriel, as well as the angels, Michael, Rafael and Uriel, by God's Will brought him to her.


When the soldiers along with Judas approached the place where Jesus stayed, Jesus who was awake in anticipation heard the approach of a large group, which as a result in fear he withdrew into the house. Moreover, the 11 were sleeping. Then, because of the danger to His servant, God commanded Gabriel, Michael, Rafael and Uriel, His ministers, to remove Jesus from the world. The holy angels came and took Jesus out through the south facing window. They transported him and placed him in the third heaven and in the company of angels blessing God eternally.


Impetuously, Judas entered before the others into the chamber where Jesus resided. The disciples were still asleep. Then, the wonderful God acted wonderfully to the extent that Judas was so changed in speech and appearance to look like Jesus-that even we believed he was Jesus. Furthermore, he having awakened us, was seeking the location of the master. Then in astonishment we answered, you, lord our our master-have you suddenly forgotten us?" Consequently, he said smiling, "now, you are foolish that you do not know me to be Judas Iscariot?” Then, the military entered in seized Judas. This is because he completely resembled Jesus. Because of what Judas said, and due to the great number of soldiers, we ran in fright. Furthermore, John, who was wrapped in a linen cloth, awoke and fled, and when a soldier grabbed him by it, he left the linen cloth and fled naked-because God responded to the prayer of Jesus and saved the 11 disciples from harm. The soldiers took Judas and tied him up, not without derision. This is because he truthfully denied that he was Jesus. Additionally, the soldiers in mockery said, "master, have no fear, because we are here to make you king of Israel, and we have captured you for this purpose, because we know that you refuse the kingdom." Judas answered, "now you are completely mad. You came to take Jesus of Nazareth with weapons and lanterns as if hunting a thief, and instead you have bound me-the one who guided you- to make me king?" Then the soldiers lost their patience and began ridiculing Judas, punching and kicking him. So they led him with fury into Jerusalem. However, God, who had decreed the issue, reserved Judas for the cross. This was so he would suffer that horrible death to which he had sold another. Truly, the voice, face in person of Judas were so similar to Jesus that even his disciples and believers entirely believed that he was Jesus. Moreover, why do I report that the chief priests believe Judas was Jesus? Not at all, in fact all the disciples including this author believed it, and so did Jesus's poor virgin mother as well as his relatives and friends. We all believed it, to such a degree that the sorrow of everyone was incredible. I swear in God's name that I forgot all that Jesus said, how he would be taken up from the world and that he would manifest in a third person-and that he would remain alive until near the end of the world. Thus I went with John and Jesus's mother to the cross. Those disciples who had no consciousness of God went at night and stole Judas's body. In addition, they hid it. Then they, spread a rumor that Jesus was resurrected. This resulted in great confusion. Then the high priest had commanded that under the death penalty no one could talk of Jesus of Nazareth. Thus, great persecution resulted. In addition many were stoned and beaten and many exiled because they could not remain silent on such an issue. The news reached Nazareth how their fellow citizen, Jesus, after dying on the cross was resurrected. As a result, the Virgin Mary, crying said, "let us go to Jerusalem to find my son. I will die content when I have seen him." The Virgin return to Jerusalem along with the author, as well as James and John, the same day on which the decree of the high priest was issued. Then the Virgin, who feared God, even though she knew the decree of the high priest was unjust, commanded those who dwelt with her to forget her son. Moreover, how each one was affected: God, who discerns the hearts of men knows what between grief at the death of Judas, whom we believe to be our master Jesus, and the desire to see Jesus resurrected, we along with Jesus's mother were consumed in grief.


So, the angels who were Mary's guardians, ascended to the third heaven where Jesus was in the company of angels, and narrated all to him. As a result, Jesus beseeched God to give him power to see his mother and his true disciples. Then, the merciful God commanded His four favorite angels- Gabriel, Michael, Rafael, and Uriel-to transport Jesus into his mother's house and there guard him continuously for three days, allowing him only to be seen by those who believed in his teachings.


Jesus came surrounded with splendor to the room where there was the Virgin Mary with her two sisters, and Martha as well as Mary Magdalene, along with Lazarus and myself-as well as John, James and Peter. As a result, through fear they fell unconscious. Then, Jesus lifted up his mother and the others from the ground and said, “have no fear because I am Jesus. And never cry because I am alive and not dead." Then, the Virgin in tears said, "tell me my son why has God, since he gave you power to raise the dead, allowed you to die to the shame of your kinsfolk and friends and to the shame of your teachings? Because everyone that loves you has been as if dead?” Jesus replied, embracing his mother, "believe me mother, because truly I have not been dead at all-since God has reserved me until near the end of the world." Then he beseeched the four angels to appear and testify regarding the actual events. So the four angels described to the Virgin how God had sent for Jesus and had transformed Judas, so the latter would andure the punishment to which he sold another. Then I (Barnabas) said, "oh master, is it lawful for me to question you now as it was lawful for me when you lived with us?" Jesus responded, "ask what you please Barnabas and I will answer you." I asked, "oh master, since God is merciful, why has he so tormented us, making us believe that you were dead? And your mother has nearly killed herself over you and her grief-and you, who are a holy one of God, on you God has allowed to fall the disgrace that you were killed among robbers on the mount Calvary?"


Jesus answered, "believe me Barnabas, that every sin, however small it is, God punishes with great punishment since God is offended at sin. Thus, since my mother and my faithful disciples that were with me and loved me a little earthly love, the righteous God has will to punish this love with the present grief, so it may not be punished in the flames of hell. In addition, although I have been innocent in the world, it's men have called me 'God' and 'son of God', so I be not mocked on the Day of Judgment by the demons, God wills that I am mocked by men in this world. This is through the death of Judas, making all men believe that I died on the cross. What's more, this mocking will continue until the advent of Muhammad, the Messenger of God, who when he comes, will expose this deception to those who believe in God's law." Then, Jesus turned himself to me and said, "be sure, Barnabas, that you write my gospel regarding all that has happened throughout my life in this world. What's more, also record what had befallen Judas so the true believers are duly informed and everyone may believe the truth." In addition, he chastised many who believed him to have died and risen again, saying, "do you then hold me and God as liars-because God granted me to live nearly to the end of the world, just as I said to you? Truly, I never died but instead it was Judas the traitor. Beware, because Satan will make every effort to deceive you, but you may be my witnesses in all Israel and throughout the world of all that you have seen and heard."


Moreover, then he beseeched God for the salvation of the true believers in the conversion of sinners. Furthermore, when he finished his prayer he embraced his mother saying, "peace be on you, my mother. Find your peace in God, who created you and me." Finally, he turned to his disciples and said, "May God's grace and mercy be with you." Then before their eyes four angels carried him up into heaven.


Moreover, the truth, hated by Satan, was persecuted as it always is through falsehood. This is because certain evil man, pretending to be disciples, preached that Jesus died and was not resurrected. Others preached that he really died and was resurrected. Others preached-instill preach-that Jesus is the son of God, among whom is Paul deceived. In contrast, we truly follow him through all that I have written preached the message of this book to those who are conscious of God. This is so they will be saved from God's judgment at the end of time. Amen

I read some notes about this Bible. It says that it is really 1500 years old or more and most interesting thing it is ritten in aramaic the Original language of Isa a.s./Jesus. But actually no one knows what is written in it because no one studied or translated it to modern languages. It seems Turkey just wants to keep it a secret and make people, especially tue catolic church, curious so that they sell it with a high price as much as possible. This is just a shame...

People still read Aramaic lol. I have a colleague whose first language is Aramaic

Besides, the so-called gospel of Barnabas has long been recognized as a forgery--and an inept forgery at that. The author of the gospel of Barnabas (clearly not the Barnabas mentioned in the New Testament) puts these words in the mouth of "Jesus Christ": "I am not the Messiah."

I like how Christians will scrutinize other gospels but will turn a blind eye to their own spurious gospels that finally made it in the New Testament. I got news for you most of those manuscripts come from anonymous sources and the early Church ascribed them to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. They think that the New Testament was around just after Jesus a.s. left the earth and not compiled until 325 a.d.

Ahh the history of Christianity

Greetings and peace be with you Misbah0411;

I believe that the Bible I read today, is the Bible God intends me to read, and it is all I need for my salvation. Man could try and corrupt the contents of the bible, but God has the power of final editor. If God can create the heavens and the Earth, he should be able to edit the Bible, I just trust that to be true.

The same God has the power to govern what goes in the Quran.

Which Bible. The one where there are 73 books in it? Or the one that leaves out Mark chapters 9-20? There are many types of Bibles and not all of them are just translation versions but leave out whole segments. Which one does God intend for you to read and your neighbor John Doe Christian to read? You see how illogical your statement is?

Does size matter?

The Jews are God's chosen people, they only have the 'Old Testament', the shortened version of the Bible is almost twice the size of the Quran.

Why should I try and convert you to Christianity? Did Allah make a mistake when he chose you to be a wonderful Muslim?

I 've been warning from TWO years about this is, what the Missionaries are pre planning by those Islamic audioed videos TO MIX UP BOTH THE GOSPEL OF BARNABUS & This 1500 years old Bible (in dark color leather parchments held by threads ) in Turkey and many like you have fallen prey to it as expected .

Both are completely different !!!,

I HAD POSTED ON THE BELOW THREAD TWO YEARS AGO YEAR POST # 2 & 4 HERE KINDLY READ AND LISTEN TO YOUSUF ESTES, THE EX CHRISTIAN PRIEST AND PREACHER WHO KNOW THIS STUFF MUCH MORE THAN US.

Gospel of Barnabus were few papers that were found before 300 years hidden in the library of Vatican found by its staff but this Copy of New testaments already tested by Radio Carbon analysis this parchments by the Authorities of Turkey and its Museum was caught up from Antique smuggling racket & SURELY belonged to that era ( about 1500 years ago) and its in RIGHT ARAMAIC which is mix of Hebrew and Arabic and appears like Arabic. After this video many videos also started to circulate showing other so called Aramaic holy books but they were just to confuse this which was caught up from the hands of the antique smugglers. watch the video its letters and its its looks like Arabic but its not and that is REAL Aramaic a mixture of hebrew and Arabic in which Esa A.S was born among the Aramaic peasants and spoke Aramaic and so was his disciples as certified by the 30 year experienced Bible Scholar, Bart Erhman



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gospel...el_of_Barnabas (below)


The Gospel of Barnabas is a book depicting the life of Jesus, and claims to be by the biblical Barnabas, who in this work is one of the twelve apostles. Two manuscripts are known to have existed, both dated to the late 16th century and written respectively in Italian and in Spanish—although the Spanish manuscript is now lost, its text surviving only in a partial 18th-century transcript. [1] Barnabas is about the same length as the four canonical gospels put together, with the bulk being devoted to an account of Jesus' ministry, much of it harmonized from accounts also found in the canonical gospels. In some key respects, it conforms to the Islamic interpretation of Christian origins and contradicts the New Testament teachings of Christianity.This Gospel is considered by the majority of academics, including Christians and some Muslims (such as Abbas el-Akkad), to be late and pseudepigraphical.[2] However, some academics suggest that it may contain some remnants of an earlier apocryphal work (perhaps Gnostic,[3] Ebionite[4] or Diatessaronic[5]), redacted to bring it more in line with Islamic doctrine. Some Muslims consider the surviving versions as transmitting a suppressed apostolic original. Some Islamic organizations cite it in support of the Islamic view of Jesus.This work should not be confused with the surviving Epistle of Barnabas, nor with the surviving Acts of Barnabas.

Most manuscripts and most if not all translations include them. It is worth keeping in mind that the Truth is not just represented by words on paper. The Truth is a Person, whom to know is to know a Friend who sets free.

I am not forcing my view on you but let see the view Bart Erhman who served the Christendom for more than thirty years and studied Bible right from the age of 10 years or less . at 8 minutes to 10 minutes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yte-ad6Y31s

The bodies of those who were nailed on the cross were left out to be eaten by scavengers , vultures etc and was left to rot for the common public to learn a lesson not to indulge in such crimes of the person who was nailed is the testimony by Bart Erhman in the above video. So none can change the law of the Roman kings which was been followed for 1000's of years so no way Jesus's body was given a decent burial ( EVEN IN CASE HE WAS NAILED as you claim ) by Pilate, who was the Tyrant among those Roman Kings. So the resurrection of Jesus becomes another lie , framed by Paul , the Jewish Student & a spy . Know that Jews are the most to difficult to convert to any religion particularly when they view Christianity as Polytheism and so Paul came from no where with no Christian info and suddenly made a story which was the aim of Jews to Misguide the Monotheist Christians who did not beleive in the crucifixion like the Negus of Ethopia (Abyysinia) who embraced Islam. Similar Tactics by the Jews was adopted to divide Islam by sending the Yemeni Jew Ibn sabah who entered Islam but later try to claim Caliph Ali is God and was burnt with his group By Ali (R.A) himself when he failed to repent and turn back from his claims, after this Shia groups emerged too.
