This discovery turns modern Christianity on its head! This bible,
dating as far back as 2,000 years, details the Gospel of Barnabas, a
disciple of Jesus Christ, which shows that Jesus wasn’t actually
crucified and doesn’t claim him to be the son of God, but instead a
prophet. The book charges that Apostle Paul was “The Impostor.” The
story is completely different. In the Book of Barnabas, Jesus wasn’t
crucified, but ascended to heaven alive, and Judas Iscariot was
crucified instead.
The National Turk issued a report
saying that the bible was seized from smugglers is a Mediterranean
operation. The report states the gang was charged with smuggling a
variety of things, such as antiques, illegal excavations and even
explosives. The book is valued at around $28 million. That’s quite the
find! Experts and Authorities in Tehran insist that the book is
authentic. It’s written in gold lettering on loosely tied leather in
Aramaic, the language of Christ.
There are connections that can be drawn between this text and Islam,
and it directly contradicts the New Testament’s teaching. In it, Jesus
also predicts the birth of Prophet Muhammed, who founded Islam 700 years
later.
Experts believe that during the Council of Nicea,
the Catholic Church went through and hand picked the gospels that form
what we know the bible to be today and omitted the Gospel of Barnabas
(among others) in favor of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. These original
texts surfaced over time, and this new discovery is especially worrying
to the Catholic church. So what does this mean for religions derived of
Christianity? It’s a bit of a predicament. The Vatican has asked Turkish
authorities to allow them access to the book for examination. The big
question is: will they accept it as evidence, deny its validity, or call
it a “Muslim lie” as “Truth” Magazine did in 2000?
To many people, this book is seen as a cause for hope. But what does
this mean for atheists? Is it a real text or a hoax? And does it even
really matter? With any luck, this newly discovered text will force
theologians to ask deeper questions about their faiths instead of
believing it without thinking. Only time will tell. In the meantime,
keep an open mind, be respectful of the beliefs of others, and remember
that it’s our responsibility to take care of one another and this place
we call home.
