1500 year Old bible found in Turkey, whith the name of Muhammad!!

[onlinebuddy]

A 1,500-year-old Bible in which Jesus is believed to have foretold the coming of the Prophet Mohammed to Earth has attracted attention from the Vatican this week.
Pope Benedict XVI has reportedly requested to see the book, which has been hidden in Turkey for the last 12 years, according to the Daily Mail.
The text, reportedly worth $22 million, is said to contain Jesus’ prediction of the Prophet’s coming but was suppressed by the Christian Church for years for its strong resemblance to the Islamic view of Jesus, Turkish culture and tourism minister Ertugrul Gunay told the newspaper.
“In line with Islamic belief, the Gospel treats Jesus as a human being and not a God. It rejects the ideas of the Holy Trinity and the Crucifixion and reveals that Jesus predicted the coming of the Prophet Mohammed,” the newspaper reported.
“In one version of the gospel, he is said to have told a priest: ‘How shall the Messiah be called? Mohammed is his blessed name.’
“And in another, Jesus denied being the Messiah, claiming that he or she would be Ishmaelite, the term used for an Arab,” the newspaper added.
According to the report, Muslims claim the text, which many say is the Gospel of Barnabas, is an addition to the original gospels of Mark, Matthew, Luke and John.
St. Barnabas is traditionally identified as the founder of the Cypriot Church, an early Christian later named an apostle.
Gunay said the Vatican has officially requested to see the book, which Turkey had discovered during a police anti-smuggling operation in 2000.
The gang was reportedly convicted of smuggling various items seized during the operation, including the Bible, and all the artifacts were kept in a safe at an Ankara courthouse.
It remained closely guarded by authorities before being handed over to the Ankara Ethnography Museum where it will soon be put on show.
A photocopy of a single page from the leather-bound, gold-lettered book, penned in Jesus’ native Aramaic language is reportedly worth about $2.4 million.
But skepticism over the authenticity of the ancient handwritten manuscript has arisen.
Protestant pastor İhsan Özbek has said this version of the book is said to come from the fifth or sixth century, while St. Barnabas had lived in the first century as one of the Apostles of Jesus.
“The copy in Ankara might have been written by one of the followers of St. Barnabas,” he told the Today Zaman newspaper.
“Since there is around 500 years in between St. Barnabas and the writing of the Bible copy, Muslims may be disappointed to see that this copy does not include things they would like to see … It might have no relation with the content of the Gospel of Barnabas,” Özbek added.
But suspicions could soon be laid to rest.
The real age of the Bible could soon be determined by a scientific scan, theology professor Ömer Faruk Harman told the Daily Mail, possibly clarifying whether it was written by St. Barnabas or a follower of his.

Jesus contradicting himself?
Everything you wrote above contradicts the Bible and is in favour of Muslims.
It reeks of conspiracy!
All the best to those desperate Muslims, who for generations have been trying to find the name of Mohammed in the Bible. The closest they could get so far, was to the concept of "the counsellor."

Read the entire Bible. Do you find even one instance where Jesus seems confused or seems to be contradicting himself?
Why then should we believe in some old book found recently? Too late!
Whichever god has written this newly found bible, is too late to reveal his messiah: Mohammed

But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God's curse! [Gal 1:8]

But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God's curse! [Gal 1:8]

We should all think of this verse when we think about islam. The bible tells us that the angels will preach a doctrine that goes against the truth just like men will.


For the muslims, I /strongly/ agree with them that an angel DID come to muhammad and gave him their doctrine. But, what they are missing, is that the prophecies of muhammad are not about a man coming to tell us that Gods word was wrong, but that false prophets would come after Christ to mislead men in His name, and those prophets are guided by angels, yes. But not angels of God, but the ones that we are warned are doomed, and want to destroy us in return.



And haha yeah, the first thing I thought when I saw this title was "wow a bible that came out during the time islam was being spread that "proved" islam", haha there is like no reason to even consider this book as anything other than a muslim creation used to prove the muslim purpose

I'm going to be kind and say this piece of evidence is a load of bollocks. Nothing to see here.

Did you ever have one of those moments when the Spirit told you to "RUN Kefa,RUN."

Actually I came to this thread just to see who was responsible for taking this dusty tome out again. Lo and behold -- someone who has been banned by bringing it out.

Now... who is dusting it and putting it back where it belongs?

Funny thing though, the manuscript finds which date before the 7th century agree with the Judeo-Christian texts, I guess the copiers and translators of the Koran were broken...maybe they should have gone to Kinkos

Muslims cannot win.

Even if 'Muhammad' appears in the text, it has ALWAYS been an epithet of Jesus Christ, anyway...
