What position did the Hellenist Jews Barnabas and Paul take?
Robisonwlfs
The Christian one. Paul was a highly educated person and he maintained his position as a pharisee would/could have risen to prominience in Judaism as it's called today. However, Paul chose to give up religion and follow Jesus, being called by Jesus as an apostle born out of due season. Paul forsook wealth, prominience, fame, house and home to do the work Christ called him to do, making this comment,"He counted all things but loss(lesser, unworthy) that he might gain the ecellency of the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. Barnabas also, being the one who replaced the position left emply by Judas.

Is there proof that Barnabas a follower of Jesus and companion of Paul was historical or mythical?
Paul referred to Barnabas in his First Epistle to the Corinthians and in his Epistle to the Galatians, in both cases implying that the recipients already knew of Barnabas. It is hardly possible that Paul would have written of Barnabas in this way, unless Barnabas was a real person. Barnabas is also mentioned in Colossians, but the clear majority of biblical scholars regard Colossians as pseudographical, so this epistle does not provide proof for Barnabas.Acts made Paul a lesser character in the history of the early church, one who did not act on his own initiative but sought the authority of Peter and James on important matters. Whereas Paul had represented Barnabas as a loyal assistant, Acts had Barnabas become a mentor assigned to Paul by the Jerusalem elders in order to educate him and play a part in the Gentile church as an equal to Paul. There is no proof outside Acts that Barnabas was ever more than Paul's assistant.
