The Gospel of Barnabas is evidenced to be a late forgery, claiming to have been written by the Apostle Barnabas but pro-actively promoting Islam. There is a Barnabas mentioned in Galatians and Acts of the New Testament who had a ministry with the other apostles, however, this could not be the same Barnabas because (as with Islam) the author of this late "gospel" emphatically denied many core beliefs found in the other gospels including the divinity of Jesus Christ Himself, which are substantially manifest in the Bible.. It stands to reason that such fundamentally different beliefs than the other apostles could in no way share any ministry with them.
