Among many versions of Bible (New Testament), Church approved only four of them: Matthew's, Mark's, Luke's and John. These four author described Christ's life and teaching in different ways and details. Among these four, which is the most accurate and objective?

Likely none of them teach what he taught assuming he existed at all. Constantine chose books very carefully and ordered anywhere from a hundred to a thousand other texts purged as heresy. i.e. burned. I can't believe that as shrew a politician as Constantine was, that he didn't pick these texts without a political motive.
For example when I read the NT I see the makings of a political revolutionary in Jesus and in some of the stories like the money lenders and any number of tweakings of high temple authority noses. However Noe of these things are actually worthy of crucifixion, according to roman law and custom. If he was as dangerous as they say where is that story? In my opinion it was left out and replaced with love thy neighbor, give unto caesar, and oops my bad.
If you want to know what he taught, I doubt you will find it by looking in the bible.

I totally agree with You bradhart,
"If you want to know what he taught, I doubt you will find it by looking in the bible."
Yes, Indeed You are right sir, I am a Muslim and as all Muslims Know that Christianity and Judaism are both Divine Religions BUT with altered Books, and the doctrine Of the Trinity was Interlined into The Pure Christianity which was based on pure monotheism.
I still believe that the Gospel Of Barnabas Is the gospel indeed, It make sense and has No contraindications at all, and it doesn't matter what Constantine chose.

as bradhart said above:
" If you want to know what he taught, I doubt you will find it by looking in the bible."
"The Gospel of Barnabas was accepted as a Canonical Gospel in the Churches of Alexandria till 325 C.E. Iranaeus (130-200) wrote in support of pure monotheism and opposed Paul for injecting into Christianity doctrines of the pagan Roman religion and Platonic philosophy. He had quoted extensively from the Gospel of Barnabas in support of his views. This shows that the Gospel of Barnabas was in circulation in the first and second centuries of Christianity."
That Quote is from a website about the the Gospel of Barnabas

They are all correct. They are written by 4 different people and are written to different groups of people. The book of Matthew was written for the Jews because it give the linage of Christ and they were looking for the messiah that was to be a descendant of King David of the old testament. John I think was written to the Greeks. They were also written from different perspectives too.

the BIBLE is not accurate any of the version,
this is not the real bble which Jesus(PBUH) used to preach, some part of it may be corrext buit most of it is corrupted,
the real bible was THE GOSPEL OF KINGDOM, written in Mark 1:14
