The Vatican is deeply concerned over a 1500-year-old Bible which was found in Turkey and rejects the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

Vatican authorities have called on the Turkish government to allow its experts to examine the content of the book, which was discovered and kept secret in Turkey in 2000.

Reports say the Turkish government has transferred the book to the Ethnography Museum of Ankara with a police escort.

Ankara said that the Bible had been snatched from a mob of smugglers in a Mediterranean region operation.

The book contains the Gospel of Barnabas, a disciple of Christ, and says that Jesus had not been crucified but ascended to heaven alive. St. Barnabas was an early Christian and is traditionally identified as the founder of the Cypriot Church.

It also says Jesus was not the son of God but a prophet who spoke the word of God, calling Apostle Paul “The Impostor.”

The text maintains a vision similar to Islam, contradicting the New Testament’s teachings of Christianity. The ancient book also foresees the coming of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

It is hand written in Syriac, a dialect of Aramaic, which is said to be the native language of Jesus Christ. Some experts and religious figures believe that the book is original, according to reports.

Na only him waka come?

When the Bible we have has several different scrolls to back it up

I know a lot of folks got very drunk those days, I also think it's possible to be drunk and write at the same time but what I never thought in my weirdest imagination was that 1500 years later, some dude on nairaland will actually believe a drunken letter.

kikikikiki

The Op is the liar here and is in a state of delusion.

But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you
than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.(KJV) .

pls don't joke with the word of God

The bible said you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. Continue denying the just founded book till it gradually exposed you and your pastor's lies
Have you ever ask your self as a christian: "WHERE IS THE ORIGINAL BIBLE WRITTEN WITH THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGE IN WHICH IT WAS REVEALED"
The fact is that this book is the original bible brought by Jesus not the fake once you carrying here and there

story to story. The poster is a muslim.

It is just too obvious that the writer or poster of this topic is a muslim,

Not this tired article again!

The book is a 13th century forgery, written long after the Quran, and likely written as propaganda.

Is like most Christians here never know such original bible exist! Is pathetic....... Majority of you are not versatile at all.

YOU WISH, YOU WISH, YOU WISH YOU WISH YOU WISH

YOU WISH THE WORD OF GOD IS NOT TRUE, YOU ARE AFRAID YOU MUST HAVE BELIEVED IN A LIE. EYA

Different stroke!

This report most likely is false. Even if it isn't, it goes to show the OP's limited knowledge of Christianity.

1) During Jesus era, there was nothing called the bible. They just have various scrolls and parchments of Hebrew and Aramaic writers.

2) Jesus native language was not Aramaic or Syriac. Look closely at his name "Yehosuah", His ancestry, the time period was around the rise of the Roman Empire which was presided by the Greek Empire. Now you understand why the New testaments were writting in Greek (consistent with history).

3) The Holy Scriptures/Bible as a whole does not contradict itself, it is harmonious. How then can Barnabas call Paul and imposter yet both books written by Paul and barnabas was most likely found in your Supposely found bible.

4)Not all books written are inspired of God, Some books are called Apocrypha books which are not included in the Holy Scriptures. Only 66 books were inspired. These books were written after the death of the last Apostle- John. Barnabas lived during the first century AD/CE, that was almost 2000 years ago not 1500 years ago.

5) You are implying that Jesus did not die but ascended alive defeat the purpose for which he was sent (as a sacrifice), things the law command in the Hebrew scriptures fore-shadowed, why did he come to earth then?.

Mr man, did the pope and the Vatican city said that is a lie? Am sure they know more than you. So sit and relax and think carefully.

This statement reveals the intent of this post

The book contains the Gospel of
Barnabas, a disciple of Christ, and says
that Jesus had not been crucified but
ascended to heaven alive. St. Barnabas
was an early Christian and is
traditionally identified as the founder of
the Cypriot Church.
It also says Jesus was not the son of
God but a prophet who spoke the word
of God, calling Apostle Paul “The
Impostor.”
The text maintains a vision similar to
Islam, contradicting the New
Testament’s teachings of Christianity.
The ancient book also foresees the
coming of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad
(peace be upon him).

All the underlined and bolded statements speak for themselves.

Among all the books that made all this so call Bible, why only the book of Barnabas was single out?

What are the name of other books?

Is this only the copy of the Bible that was produced or many copy?

What happened to other copy?

These and many questions to be asked by an open-minded person seeking for the truth.

li2pac1717: Mr man, did the pope and the Vatican city said that is a lie? Am sure they know more than you. So sit and relax and think carefully.

Were you there with the pope?

The funny thing is that Muslims scholar or commentator who uses the Gospel of Barnabas to prove prophet hood of Muhammad or attest Qur'an revelation WITHHOLDING some TRUTH from h/her reader because the Gospel of Barnabas contradicts some teaching/statement of Qur'an itself THOUGH it support some.

Mr. Man wake up!
A 1500yrs old Bible...
Jesus lived around 0 B.C - 33 A.D.
Paul and Barnabas lived around 10 BC - 85 A.D.
Paul first book(letter to the Romans) was written in 70 A.D.
Barnabas died before 90 A.D.
Out of the 12 Apostles of Jesus Christ, Only John(author of Revelation) lived to see 100 A.D.
Back again
A book written about 1500yrs whereas Jesus lived around 2000+ years ago...
2000+ - 1500yrs = 500 years...
That means that bible found in Turkey was written in the 5th-6th century...
Muhammad lived thesame time the so called bible was Found. Obviously, that bible was written after Muhammad brough Islam..
AGAIN
The gospel of barnabas was written 1500yrs ago whereas Barnabas died 1900yrs ago. The book was written by an unknown individual 400yrs after the death of Barnabas.
AGAIN
The Book was written in Spanish... Jesus never spoke Spanish. Barnabas never Spoke Spanish...
They only Spoke Hebrew and Aramaic language....
AGAIN
The Book denied Jesus being the Son of God and also denied Jesus being the Messiah/Christ.....

---

I know that you are a Muslim....
I think you are really CONFUSE...
Even your Quran reffered to Jesus as the Messiah.. Isa Al-masih(pbuh)..
Confusionist Muslim....

The poster should sit down and reason before posting rubbish from internet scammers. We tend to get anything from the net post it on nairaland.

I was about believing the whole shiit written by OP not until I saw the bolded. Try again later dear

I know you are a muslim trying to promote islamic religion.

Btw, Jesus never spoke Aramiac. He's a jewish by origin and his name is 'Yehoshua'(a jewish name)

He even read Torah in the temple(a book written in jew).

Mary is never an Aramiac. Your Mariam and holy Mary is a two different woman. Because in the bible, the name Mary is entirely different from Mariam(Moses sister).

One thing I still didn't get and I would like to question ask christians is:

Why would a father allow his son to die for the sin of another people?. If really he can forgives, why didn't he just forgive without taking a life.

Because its really a blasphemy to say he died and still ruling the world, abi If the leader of a group dies, won't there be another leader to take over and rule? OR the position will just continue ruling over the group?

Questions for christians to answer?

Who is Banabas?

What is the reason why his gospel not written in the bible?

Why did christian and pastors neglect the teaching of Gospel of Banabas?

Religion is sure responsible for backwardness in Africa. Instead of arguing on better things. They argue on what isn't suppose to be.
Instead of sleeping/working at night xtians will go and waste the time for some fucking vigil..
.
Abokis will leave their place of work for one Idiotic Muhammad..

Why did christian and pastors neglect the teaching of Gospel of Banabas?

This deluded slave of Allah. . .Christian have no reason to accpet the gospel of barbabas because it was written like 500 years after the other gospels were written by a muslim to promote Islam and discredit the Jesus narrative as written in other gospels. . The first copy we have was written in Spanish. . .Its author is unknown. . .It Wasnt written by barnabas, it was written by someone over 400 years after Barnabas died. . .use your head and stop allowing Islamic indoctrination to make you reason foolishly. . .
