    Barnabas Bible is in the hands of Turkish Army and its the closest Bible to the original one and its quite different than which you read.

    Exactly....you'd have to make tiny statuettes of Jesus as an old man laying in a rope bed dying of advanced heart disease at 73.

    That'd be awful....people would say "Why do you have a guy climbing a telephone pole backwards around your neck"?

    So does that mean that Judas Iscariot hanged himself....from a scaffolding?

    I'm not a believer in the bible, though I respect many (but all) people that do.

    "A 1500-year-old bible has been discovered in Turkey. The holy book claims Jesus Christ was not crucified,the work is allegedly the Gospel of Barnabas."

    It most certainly could be a forgery.

    If this turned out to be true, I would laugh and laugh and laugh. All those images of Christ on the cross, and it would turn out it never even happened. The divinity stuff was always make-believe, but it was always possible Christ the regular man was crucified. If it turns out not even that part was true. Hahahahahahaha.

    Oh well, Christians celebrate Christ's birthday on a day that's nowhere near his birthday, I suppose it wouldn't be a stretch to celebrate his death in a way that's nowhere near how he died.

    So I suspect, if this version did indeed end up being true, it will be suppressed with utmost vigor by the Vatican. It'd be like finding out Dodge Ram's are actually made with ducks. People would be driving around with Ram icons on their truck and look like fools.

    Strangely enough, the eruption of competing beliefs within a couple of centuries of Jesus's purported lifetime (actually, within the same century if you look at Paul's writing) is probably one of our better indications that this was based on an actual person. Some gnostic traditions were teaching that Jesus wasn't crucified even before Islam came around, although from what I recall those typically relied on belief in Jesus's physical body being an illusion.

    Think about this, though -- the people who arrested Jesus had no idea what he looked like. They relied on a stranger to identify him. They could have easily gotten the wrong guy.

    Nope, just more proof the fictional character of Jesus has a different story.

    None of this mitigates the veracity of what Jesus had to say does it? Nope, not anymore than Ghandi and what he had to say can be watered down by whatever facts of his life could be found out. Jus'say'n!

    Given their tendency for idolatry, I can hardly consider Catholics to be actual Christians. Having read the Bible going on 25 times now, cover to cover, I've yet to see where the veneration of saints, worship of Mary, or the using of intermediaries to carry prayers unto Heaven have any basis in the Old or New Testament, but rather on the usurpation of pagan myth for the sake of dogmatic control over the ignorant peasants.

    With all due respect to my Catholic friends, I'm not saying you're "bad" people any more than Mormans are, I'm just saying your interpretation of Christ and Gods message have been perverted by Holy Roman manipulators to their financial benefit, and that you close your eyes and go along with it. Why, momentum?

    He did preach to the Samaritans as well you know.

    Do you mean ghandis non violent teachings or his racist teachings?

    Yes in fact it changes everything.

    JEsus ultimately did not even say much. most of the NT are the words of unknown writers. What little of it is worthwhile are merely words of wisdom which were understood and written down in other ways by others long before the time of christ such as " do unto others ".

    The rest is merely tripe even disgusting crap.

    "Go nowhere among the Gentiles and enter no town of the Samaritans, but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." Matthew 10:5,6

    Well, they are closer to God than you are, Trevor. That from a current Christian, now a minister of the Gospel.

    You people will believe anything if it reinforces your bias.

    Did he? He spoke to the Samaritan woman at the well. This simply started off as a Jewish custom. When a visitor came to a village and required something, he waited at the well, or in the centre of the village for someone from the village to approach him. In this case he wanted water. The conversation proceeded from there. The conversation was simply telling her the error of the Samaritan teaching in comparison to the Jewish beliefs.. Did the conversation ever take place? Who recorded it? There was only Jesus and the woman. Given that Jesus 'came unto his own' - by his own words - and forbade the disciples to convert Gentiles, or to go into Samaritan cities, one has to wonder. .

    At one time the Jews worshiped the pantheon of Canaanite gods.

    Regardless of how many times the fairy tale is discussed new details always come to light. Thanks for these latest details.

    In order for both versions to be true Jesus was crucified with two other guys, removed from the cross, and then hanged on a tree. This sort of ties in with the claim in the Babylonian Talmud that the Jews killed Jesus using five different methods.

    "and in the work, claims that Jesus was not crucified, instead it says he ascended to heaven alive"
