If it's not included in the Bible by now, then I'm not going to bother with it.

The term "Bible of Barnabas" is likely a misunderstanding. The Bible, as used by Christians, refers to a collection of sacred texts and does not include any individual books attributed to a single author like Barnabas.
There is, however, a text called the Gospel of Barnabas. Here's some information about it:
  • Not part of the Bible: The Gospel of Barnabas is not considered canonical by any major Christian denomination. This means it is not considered divinely inspired scripture.
  • Late origin: Scholars believe it was written much later, around the 15th or 16th century, and not by the Barnabas mentioned in the New Testament.
  • Contradicts Christian teachings: The Gospel of Barnabas differs from the Bible on key points. For instance, it denies the divinity of Jesus and his crucifixion.
The Gospel of Barnabas is interesting from a historical perspective, but it's not a foundational text for Christianity.

Wasn't Barnabas just a giant purple dinosaur of our imagination?

There is no "bible" of Barnabas, just the fake "Gospel of Barnabas" written (presumably) in the Middle Ages.

Did some extensive research but was unable to find anything on "Bible" of Barnabas. Plenty of info on a man named Barnabas. So me thinks there is no such thing as the "Bible of Barnabas."

Gospel of Barnabas is truly as far from the bible scriptures you can get, even in this book Judas replaces Jesus on the cross.

Now, Barnabas was an apostle and there is one called the Epistle of Barnabas which I have no problem with.
