Why should this version be "the truth" ?? There are dozens of apocryphical gospels and letters, all telling different stories. Just pick the one you like most.

The story of this Bible gets even more bizarre than the common Bible....

"A 1500-year-old bible has been discovered in Turkey. Discovered in 2000, the book that contains purportedly the Gospel of Barnabas has been transferred by the Turkish government to the Ethnography Museum of Ankara with a police escort. Barnabas was a disciple of Christ, and in the work, claims that Jesus was not crucified, instead it says he ascended to heaven alive and Judas Iscariot was crucified in his place. Furthermore, the 1500-year-old bible states that Jesus Christ was not the son of God, but simply a prophet who passed on the word of God."

"The holy words are hand written in Syriac in luminous gold lettering on loosely bound together animal hides. Syriac is a dialect of Aramaic – the reported native language of Jesus Christ. Aramaic itself is a nearly dead language, rarely present in today's modern society."

There are lots of "bibles," even today with different content. The Ethiopian church's bible has 2 books of Enoch, the first human not to due and go straight to heaven. And that little tidbit of knowledge is in the bibles that most xtions believe. I used to wonder why someone of such importance would be relegated to just a couple of lines.
