Is this the first ever portrait of Jesus?

From the Mail article:

There was no common script and considerable intermingling of language and writing systems between groups. Which means it could take years of detailed scholarship to accurately interpret the codices.

Yeah...I imagined the forger blurting out, “No, no, no....It’s a LION, not JESUS!”

The “Necronomicon” from Bruce Campbell’s “Army of Darkness” movie horror/comedy flick?

“With that square chin, it looks more like a lion. And that would make sense in that land.”

I was thinking Aslan, myself

“The director of Jordan’s Department of Antiquities, Ziad al-Saad, has few doubts. He believes they may indeed have been made by followers of Jesus in the few decades immediately following his crucifixion.
‘They will really match, and perhaps be more significant than, the Dead Sea Scrolls,’ he says. ‘The initial information is very encouraging and it seems that we are looking at a very important and significant discovery – maybe the most important discovery in the history of archaeology.’”

Now isn't that surprising? Jordan can't get the Dead Sea scrolls back so now they have something even “more significant”.

I have noted a curious similarity between the image on the lead tablet and the photograph of the owner of the lead tablet.

Just suppose that my aunt had balls - she’d be my uncle!

[Jack Hydrazine]

Am I mistaken that I thought God didn’t want any graven images of Himself made by human hands?

What about the large marble statue found of Yahshua in Galilee...whose got it now and who is hiding it from us?

“What language is really stamped in the metal? Greek (with misspellings) as your blog stated, or ancient Hebrew, as the article states?”

They are talking about two separate codices from the same batch. The one in this article seems to have some form of Hebrew or Aramaic script on it (though I can’t identify some of the letters), while the codex in the article was presented last year, with a different backstory, and has Greek text on it. The Greek-text codex has resurfaced as part of this “new” discovery, along with the one shown in this article.

You said codice did you mean, *bodice*? Strange story this. :)
