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

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?

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...

Lead pages?
That’s heavy, man.
I’d think it would be hard to fake something like that.

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

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.”
