So, is the Gospel of Barnabas the only one included in the official church decree called degritum gelasianum?
Of course not, there are also other Gospels listed in the degritum gelasianum document, including the evangelium yakobi or called the Gospel of James, the Gospel of Thomas and several gospels in the category of apocryphal gospels.

Actually, the contents of the Gospel of Barnabas in general, at least touch on 4 topics that intersect with Islamic teachings, namely
- The one who was crucified was not Jesus but the one who was crucified was Judas
- When Jesus had a dialogue with the Samaritan woman, it turned out that in the dialogue it was emphasized You will not worship on this mountain or on that mountain but you will worship in one place
- The one who was slaughtered was not Isaac but Ishmael
- Talking about the apostleship of the Prophet Muhammad SAW
The auto-critical question is, how can we know that these four topics are the reasons why the Gospel of Barnabas was banned,
We can confirm this from the Gospel of Barnabas which was found by a figure named Framerino in the papal place itself, namely in the library.
That means there is a connection here, there is a relationship between the ban that occurred during the time of Pope Gelasius in 492 or 496 AD, then it turns out that the text of the Gospel of Barnabas that has come down to us was also found in the papal library
The problem is that the Gospel of Barnabas is written in Italian, not in Syriac or Greek, and not even in Latin
The Italian language referred to here is ancient Italian which is also commonly called Latin.
Philologists identified the discovery of the Gospel of Barnabas document as a manuscript from the 16th century AD.
Later, an accusation developed that the Gospel of Barnabas was the creation of Muslims. Considering that Islamic teachings have existed since the 7th century AD while the Gospel of Barnabas was later in the 16th century.
Is that accusation true?
According to Professor Menachem Ali, an expert in philology or comparative religion, revealed that one of the topics in the Gospel of Barnabas about not Jesus being crucified but Judas has a connection with the manuscript written by Muqatil Ibn Sulaiman in the 7th century.
The contents of the manuscript discuss what is written in the fourth letter in the Qur'an, namely the letter Annisa verse 157 And they and also they did not crucify him but there was someone else who was crucified, namely Judas.
The next question is where did Muqatil Ibn Sulaiman get this information from which mentions the name Judas.
If it is said that the source of information is from the 16th century Gospel of Barnabas, does that make sense?
Of course not, how many centuries apart is it impossible for Muqatil Ibn Sulaiman to include the name Judas in his writing while the Gospel of Barnabas document only existed in the 16th century.
That means there is another older data source that is not in Italian and that is actually the Gospel of Barnabas too.
The question now is whether there is an apocryphal Gospel or a canonical Gospel that mentions that the crucified figure was Judas other than the Gospel of Barnabas.
No, that means the interpretation of the Gospel of Barnabas already existed in the churches of the early fifth century and it was strictly forbidden to be read.
That is why the prohibition of reading the Gospel of Barnabas by Pope Gelasius in 492 to 496 was not accompanied by detailed reasons, because if it was read it would shake the Christian faith with its main character, Jesus Christ.
