Conveniently, I believe that lead can’t be dated.

"Postcards from the Resurrection."
They don't look like they contain a lot of information, even if real.

Chapter 1: Verse 1: “Your time is up.”
To: TigerLikesRooster
Fascinating.
If its true these are what John referenced in Revelation things do seem to be reaching a climax.

I believe that lead cant be dated.Even if it could, you have to HAVE the plates to do the testing. According to the article, no one has seen the plates lately.

From the article:
The books were discovered five years ago in a cave in a remote part of Jordan to which Christian refugees are known to have fled after the fall of Jerusalem in 70AD. Important documents from the same period have previously been found there.
Initial metallurgical tests indicate that some of the books could date from the first century AD. ... If the dating is verified, the books would be among the earliest Christian documents, predating the writings of St Paul. Obviously, not a Bible scholar. Paul wrote in the period BEFORE 70 AD. He was dead by the end of the first century.

I don’t get your reference to other scriptures written on metal plates. Please enlighten me.
