شفقنا- قالت صحيفة بريطانية إن السلطات في تركيا عثرت على ما يُظَنّ أنها النسخة الأصلية لإنجيل "برنابا"، الذي بشَّر برسول يأتي من بعد المسيح عليه السلام، اسمه أحمد، في إشارة إلى النبي محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم؛ ما سيثير جدلاً في المعتقدات المسيحية السائدة.
وذكرت صحيفة "ديلي ميل" أن المخطوطة المكتشفة من إنجيل برنابا مكتوبة على جِلْد حيوان، ويعود تاريخها إلى القرن الخامس الميلادي، لكن عُثر عليها قبل 12 عاماً فقط.
وقد عثرت السلطات التركية على مخطوطة الكتاب المقدس عام 2000 عندما داهمت مقر عصابة تخصصت في تهريب الآثار والتنقيب عنها بطريقة غير مشروعة وحيازة متفجرات.
غير أن قمة الإثارة في هذا الاكتشاف حدثت في شهر فبراير هذا العام، عندما قيل إن دولة الفاتيكان "مقر القيادة الروحية للكنيسة الكاثوليكية في العالم" تقدمت بطلب رسمي للاطلاع على الإنجيل المذكور.
وتقول الصحيفة البريطانية إنه لا يُعرف حتى الآن ما إذا كانت تركيا وافقت على الطلب أم لا.
وتشير الصحيفة البريطانية إلى أن أصل المخطوطة غير معروف، إلا أن صحيفة "ناشيونال تيرك"، التي تصدر باللغة الإنجليزية في تركيا، أوردت أن النسخة المكتَشَفة كانت محفوظة بقصر العدل في العاصمة أنقرة قبل أن تُنقل تحت حراسة مشددة إلى متحف الإثنوغرافيا بالمدينة ذاتها.

Secret £14million Bible in which 'Jesus predicts coming of Prophet Muhammad' unearthed in Turkey[LIST][*]Vatican 'wants to see' 1,500-year-old ancient ******************[*]Has been hidden by Turkish state for 12 years[*]Handwritten in gold-lettered Aramaic[/LIST]A secret Bible in which Jesus is believed to predict the coming of the Prophet Muhammad to Earth has sparked serious interest from the Vatican.
Pope Benedict XVI is claimed to want to see the 1,500-year-old book, which many say is the Gospel of Barnabas, that has been hidden by the Turkish state for the last 12 years.
The £14million handwritten gold lettered tome, penned in Jesus' native Aramaic language, is said to contain his early teachings and a prediction of the Prophet's coming.

Ancient: The leather-bound text, written on animal hide, was discovered by Turkish police during an anti-smuggling operation in 2000


The leather-bound text, written on animal hide, was discovered by Turkish police during an anti-smuggling operation in 2000.
It was closely guarded until 2010, when it was finally handed over to the Ankara Ethnography Museum, and will soon be put back on public display following a minor restoration.
A photocopy of a single page from the handwritten ancient manu****************** is thought to be worth £1.5million.



Turkish culture and tourism minister Ertugrul Gunay said the book could be an authentic version of the Gospel, which was suppressed by the Christian Church for its strong parallels with the Islamic view of Jesus.
He also said the Vatican had made an official request to see the ******************ure - a controversial text which Muslims claim is an addition to the original gospels of Mark, Matthew, Luke and John.
In line with Islamic belief, the Gospel treats Jesus as a human being and not a God.

Serious interest: The Vatican, under Pope Benedict XVI, is said to want to see the recently re-discovered Bible


Historic: The £14million handwritten gold lettered tome is penned in Jesus' native Aramaic language

It rejects the ideas of the Holy Trinity and the Crucifixion and reveals that Jesus predicted the coming of the Prophet Muhammad.
In one version of the gospel, he is said to have told a priest: 'How shall the Messiah be called? Muhammad 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.
Despite the interest in the newly re-discovered book, some believe it is a fake and only dates back to the 16th century.
The oldest copies of the book date back to that time, and are written in Spanish and Italian.
Protestant pastor İhsan Özbek said it was unlikely to be authentic.
This is because St Barnabas lived in the first century and was one of the Apostles of Jesus, in contrast to this version which is said to come from the fifth or sixth century.

He told the Today Zaman newspaper: 'The copy in Ankara might have been written by one of the followers of St Barnabas.
'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.'
Theology professor Ömer Faruk Harman said a scientific scan of the bible may be the only way to reveal how old it really is.
