No-Gospel of Barnabas

Social media websites are full of incorrect, false information. Ignorant, and /or malicious people spread lies and fake knowledge on them to the public. One of these I found about the Gospel of Barnabas.

 The Gospel of Barnabas is promoted by Muslims as an original Gospel written by the man named Barnabas who  was a disciple of Jesus. They claim it was written by a Jewish man in the 1st century A.D. who travelled with Jesus.

The Gospel of Barnabas is not an authentic Gospel of Jesus. The author does not understand the language, history or geography of the 1st century A.D., and there is no ancient evidence for the book. The internal evidence of the book suggests it was written in the 14th century, and there are Muslim scholars who agree with this dating. The book is a rewrite of the Biblical Gospel most likely by a Muslim who wanted to portray Jesus as a Muslim who taught Islam and predicted the coming of Muhammad. It is disgraceful for Islamic leaders to continue to publish, promote and distribute this false Scripture.
