Is this the first written mention of Jesus? 2,000-year-old lead tablets found in a remote cave ARE genuine, claim researchers

• The lead pages, bound like a ring binder, were first discovered in 2008
• The tablets suggest that Christ was not starting his own religion, but restoring a thousand-year-old tradition from the time of King David
• They also suggest the God he worshipped was both male and female
• New testing said to confirm their age, say authors who have been campaigning since 2009 for the tablets to be recognised and protected

An ancient set of lead tablets showing the earliest portrait of Jesus Christ have proved to be around 2,000 years old, according to experts.

The metal 'pages', held together like a ring binder, were found in Jordan in around 2008 by an Jordanian Bedouin and make reference to Christ and his disciples.

The lead has been analysed and the words and symbols translated and experts say the tablets date from within a few years of Jesus' ministry.

And what they reveal could be enlightening not only for Christians, but also Jews and Muslims.

The tablets suggest that Christ was not starting his own religion, but restoring a thousand-year-old tradition from the time of King David.

The books are known as codices - types of bound manuscripts distinct from scrolls - and among them is an image of Jesus himself

Authors David and Jennifer Elkington have been campaigning since 2009 for the codices (pictured) to be recognised and protected but say evangelical Christians are trying to brand them fakes

Looks short—How about a translation? The “Picture” of Jesus? I can’t see it, how about an enhanced image?

Drink More Ovaltine.

Very kewl. I'd love to see the full translation of the codice's contents.

The image of Christ is shown in the source article...

[smokingfrog]

Lead pages?
That’s heavy, man.

I’d think it would be hard to fake something like that.

[kaehurowing]

Christmas or Easter must be coming up.

Someone notify Time and Newsweek of this amazing discovery!

Hey... The very first three ring binder, how ingenious. Did the Hitler diaries come in a three ring binder format?

Looks short—How about a translation?

STUDY TORAH KEEP SHABBAT

Basically what every rabbi would say...

[jerod]

The very last page translates as follows... Hillary will win the 2016 Presidential re-count. So it’s obviously not fake news.

[CondorFlight]

So Jesus worshiped a he-she god?

Right...

[BenLurkin]

Christ was not starting his own religion

Duh.

(Please don't tell me there are any morons who actually thought that was the case.)

[catnipman]

looks like a fake to me.

check out the images for “oldest bound book”:

That exact same “lead leaf” “book” appears over and over again, but there’s not a singe other picture of a similar “book”.

Not only that, but that “book” would an EXTREMELY high-tech device in even some place like Rome, but to be found in a cave in a desert in by a Jordanian Bedouin beggars belief.

No Christian believes Jesus was creating a new religion; per the Bible: Matthew 5:17-19 - “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”
