I saw this a few days ago but didn't post it because I think there needs to be more scrutiny as to whether it is legitimate or not. Antiquity or otherwise, I don't think it proves or disproves anything, although it might throw a wrench in the Vatican machinery. I'd need to see more authentication to be convinced.

of course, but what mischievous fun we can have......they throw the babble we throw this back and say, "proove it happened when this book says it din't.

Lol. You mischievous man you. I'm more about the scholarship aspects, but have some fun.

There are a couple of points to be made about this. First that of the exclusion of texts by the Vulgate and other approved versions smacks of unscrupulous editing, the other is that the books themselves, all of them, may not in fact be anything but fictional works based on a popular myth of the time.

Scholars automatically assume because of the antiquity of something it is a seruious piece of literature, but just as we can write Happy Potter today, there is no reason they couldn't produce something similar back then.

Actually, that sums up the whole body of work.

This is simply another real life 'Da Vinci Code'-type complication the Vatican certainly could do without. But this pope is an arch Jesuit. The arch Jesuit. He was the Jesuit Order's General, the top dog Jesuit, before he got the be pope. And Jesuits are a military-type order of scientists, machinators and hard core liars. For 7 centuries they also been in charge of conducting the inquisition. They still are today.

It will be interesting to see how pope Frank slithers his ass out of this one.

You mean..... the bible is made up bull shit? NOOOOOO!

Oh, by the way, aitm. Clever play on words with the crucifixtion.

I think this is  a good material  to troll  Christians.

It's obvious that the Vatican will declare it to be a fake. It should apply the same skepticism to the other gospels, but don't hold your breath on that.

Hopefully right thinking scholars with no agenda will ascertain the authenticity of it. Letting the Catholic church have any say at all is like being the jury at their own trial.

This is a muslim site, and they have a good critique of the gospel of Barnabas

Are there any authoritative Xtian 'scholars' backing this gospel and its implications yet?
Or can't they out of fear of being ex-communicated?
Being a Jesuit I think Frank will knee-jerk and, being the Grand Inquisitor, send out death squads to anyone who dares to utter as much as a peep about it.
Expect professors falling off bridges and researchers choking on pizzas double cheese.  :)
