Heart-Rest — Good testimony. I believe that there are two books that should be included in the Bible that were both “contenders” at the various Councils but lost out in the final selection.
One is the Didache http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/didache-roberts.html And this Epistle of Branabas http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/barnabas.html There are coorelations of multipe verses of the Didache and this Espistle of Baranbas. I consider all other “Barnabas” gospels and espistles as gnostic in origin and thus worth ignoring (except under the cavaet ‘know your enemy’)
And Barnabas did accompany Paul on several journeys.
another much referred examination of the Didache is at: http://www.bswett.com/1998-01Didache.html
Thanks a lot for those links and the information. (I’m going to read them later when I get some time.)
