1 Samuel 15:3
"Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys."

Here God commands the execution of infants who had no part or choice in what their ancestors did 400 years ago
I cant really imagine someone defending the killing of babies

Hosea 13:16
"The people of Samaria must bear their guilt, because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, and their pregnant women ripped open."

Again a brutal punishment given to babies

Psalm 137:9
"Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks."

So... blessings upon those who kill babies??

Exodus 21:20–21

"Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property."

if a masters beats his slave so brutally that he dies 3 day later due to brain bleeding etc this is a murder
but here according to the Bible the master is completely free of sin

Deuteronomy 21:18–21
"If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother... Then all the men of his town shall stone him to death."

I agree Children should be obedient to their parents but stoning to death is a bit too much

READ THE WHOLE POST CAREFULLY

I found out about this gospel which was banned by churches,

The reason was that it was made in 1500s

but if you look at Decretum Gelasianum (492 AD)

it clearly states this Book was banned in 492 AD

The intersting thing about this book is that it states some things which are not the same as the 4 Gospels say
for eg
the Gospel makes it clear Jesus was a prophet
the Gospel also says the crucifixion didnt happen rather 4 angles raised Jesus to heavens and God changed the apearance and voice of Judas Iscariot to math Jesus , and later Judas was crucified instead of Jesus

Jesus also gets angry when they call him the son of god
he denies being the son of god

The gospel argues that the "Promise of the Messiah" was given to Ishmael not Isaac

Therefore, the book claims that the "Messiah" must be a descendant of Ishmael. Since Jesus (AS) was from the line of Isaac/David, the book has him "correct" his followers by saying he is a Prophet, but not the final "Messiah" of the Ishmaelite promise.

and the reasons for the banning of this gospel:

1. it destroyed the trinity and this would've removed the divine authority of churches over the people
2. 2.The Gospel of Barnabas explicitly points toward a Messenger from the line of Ishmael. if christians accepted this they would've accepted Islam but churches wanted to "lock" them in a trinity system
3. 3.Barnabas says Jesus wasn't crucified—Judas was. This removes the "sacrifice" element of Christianity. Without a sacrifice, you don't need a Priest to give you "communion." The book made the entire Church ritual system unnecessary.

Notice that the Church didn't just 'disagree' with these books; they criminalized them. After the Council of Nicaea, possessing 'heretical' books could result in exile or death. You don't burn books that are simply 'fairy tales'; you burn books that contain a truth you are afraid of.

The oldest copy of Barnabas was found in the Pope’s private library. Why was it there? If it was a 'fake,' why not destroy it? They kept it 'under lock and key' so that the high-ranking officials could know the truth while the common people were kept in the dark with the Trinity

Why does the Gospel of Barnabas match the Infancy Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of the Hebrews on so many points? Because there was a 'hidden tradition' of monotheism. The Church 'hid' it by labeling it 'Apocrypha'—a word that literally means 'Hidden Things.' They admitted they were hiding it in the very name they gave it

“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.”
— Mark 12:29

here Jesus is talking to a jewish scribe who believed in strict monotheism
when the Jew asked him what the most important law was , this was the perfect time to say "god is one , but in 3 persons" but rather he confirmed monotheism
and the word here used for one is εἷς (Heis)
which is used as number 1
