The claim that the Gospel of Barnabas proves the Bible is corrupted is false.

Let's clarify.

The epistle of Barnabas, not to be confused with the Gospel of Barnabas, was written between 70 and 120 AD. Early church fathers debated its inclusion in the canon. It affirms Christ's divinity, crucifixion, resurrection, and salvation through faith, aligning with New Testament teachings. Its exclusion was mainly due to doubts about its authorship, not its content. This shows the high standards for canonization by early church leaders.

In contrast, the Gospel of Barnabas, an Islamic forgery from the 14th century, 1300 years after Jesus is filled with historical and geographical inaccuracies. It reflects medieval language and aligns with Islamic teachings, such as denying Jesus' crucifixion and predicting Muhammad’s coming, which are not found in any canonical gospels.

The forgery's purpose was to intentionally mislead scholars into thinking the Bible was corrupted. Today, Muslims are still told these lies and confuse the Gospel of Barnabas with the epistle of Barnabas. Historically, the deception was easier because of lack of information, but now, in the Information Age, you can verify the truth yourself.

The epistle of Barnabas aligns with the gospels but was excluded due to questions about its authorship. The Gospel of Barnabas was named that to cause confusion deliberately.

The epistle of Barnabas supports the New Testament's authenticity and rigorous standards, contrary to claims of corruption. Muslims, Look into it yourself to see through the deception and then ask yourself, why do my leaders not respect me enough to just tell me the truth.
