The gospel of Barnabas, however, has absolutely no apostolic support and was written 1400 years after the time of Barnabas. This is evidenced by the fact that it was never quoted by any church father or church historian before the 16th century! Even had the gospel of Barnabas been written during the time of the Apostles, it still would have never attained canonical status due to the historical and doctrinal errors it contains. For example, the gospel of Barnabas purports that Jesus did not claim to be the Messiah (see Matthew 26:63-64). The gospel of Barnabas also says that Jesus was born when Pilate was governor (but history records Pilate becoming governor in A.D. 26 or 27). Furthermore, the gospel of Barnabas keeps some strange company, for it's a favorite among Muslims as it teaches a Jesus consistent with the Koran. The gospel of Barnabas claims that Jesus did not die on the cross, as does the Koran in Sura 4:157. Historians are unanimous that the gospel of Barnabas was written in the 15th-16th century A.D., most likely by Muslims seeking to discredit the Biblical message regarding Jesus.http://www.gotquestions.org/gospel-of-Barnabas.html
The reason why most Christians do not follow the book of Barnabas is because it was recorded later than the other gospels. Some Christians are also of the idea that it contains some Islamic doctrine. Some Christians also question the inspiration and motive that the author of this book had.
The book of barnabas is one of the appocryphal books considered by most christians not to be a legitimate book of God tho it may be an excellent history book. The real Bible is considered to be the true inspired breathed words of God himself written by men He chose to write the books. This was determined by an international, inter-denominational comittee of scholars who did extensive research and decided on which books had enough cross refence proof to be of God and which didnt. The many appocryphal books including the Book of Barnabas didnt make the cut.
I'm a CHRISTian, and the book of "Barnabus" is NOT part of the Bible. Therefore, I don't think it is part of GOD'S word.
Because it supports the coming of Prophet Mohammad, but so does the Old Testament and New Testament.
Who then is this prophet? He is clearly none other than the Lord Jesus Christ. John 1:43-45 records that the early followers of Jesus understood He was the prophet of whom Moses wrote. Jesus Himself declared this about Himself (Luke 24:27). The most complete statement pointing to Jesus as the promised prophet is found in Acts 3:12-26. The deacon, Stephen, reiterated this in Acts 7:37. Such notable men as John the Baptist, Philip, Peter, and Stephen all testified that Jesus Christ, not Muhammad, is the prophet predicted in Deuteronomy 18:15-22.
On the other handJesus didnt come with a new religion but he came to fulfill the law of the OT. He was born to a virgin, was raised by his mother, didnt have a family nor kids, wasn't accepted by his people (Luke 13:34), and you claim he was crucified (not a natural death).
Muhammad: was a prophet who came with a new religion, natural birth, raised as an orphan, had a family and kids, accepted by his people, performed miracles, and died a natural death.
Where do you the resemblance between Jesus and Moses besides both being Jews? Like you said, this can't be a criteria because they have been many Jewish prophets between the two.
Moses led the Hebrew people through the wilderness. He directed and provided for them. He brought to them God's Law. Jesus is leading his followers through this present wilderness. He not only leads, guides and directs, but is our provider in many ways. Jesus brings us God's grace. Moses brought the Law; the Law does not make one righteous. Jesus shares God's mercy, forgiveness and salvation. Jesus is greater than Moses.
Strawberry Girl Please Pray for me.THX!
Not part of the bible due to it not being inspired of god.
It is not part of the Holy Bible.
It is written:
2 Peter 1:20-21
But know this first of all, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will but men mover by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
2 Timothy 2:7
Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in every thing.
2Timothy 3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness that the man of God may be complete, throughly equiped for every good work.
Because it was not written by an apostle or a disciple of an apostle.
For the simple and obvious reason that "it doesn't suit their agenda". It will be remembered that there were a great number of Books, of Gospels, Epistles and Acts, and that from these the "inspired" ones, all the four gospels that exist today, were ELECTED BY VOTE by "uninspired" men. The truth is that the Protestants didn't agree as to what books are "inspired" until 1647, by the Assembly of Westminster.
What is so good about ASK is people are from everywhere and ABBA Knows everybody.
