Is this what Jesus looked like?
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 and make reference to Christ and his disciples. Quote:
The tablets suggest that Christ was not starting his own religion, but restoring a thousand year old tradition from the time of King David. Well that could put the cat among the pigeons
And the God he worshipped was both male and female. |

The find is fascinating, particularly the theory of the male/female element.

He also cries out "My God. My God, Why have you forsaken me?" with only some translations claiming "Father, why have you forsaken me?" |

I am not convinced it is the real thing, what it's made up of might be old but a ring binder book, Flintstonesish I think.

Doesn't nullify the "Son of God" reference though, because in some transcripts he is referred to as the "Son of humanity" with God being an alternative translation.

The headline is slightly on the sensationalist side. From the article: Further crystallisation analysis indicates that the codex is likely to be between 1800-2000 years old. In other words it dates back to either the first or second century. It's misleading to claim that experts date it within a few years of Jesus and there's no reason to assume it pre-dates the New Testament writings. Quote:
The tablets suggest that Christ was not starting his own religion, but restoring a thousand year old tradition from the time of King David.
And by that, the Sun mean that Christianity was a break-away group from Judaism rather than an entire new religion. If you read the New Testament you'll find it quotes the Old Testament all over the place and this is not news to anyone who is familiar with the history of Christianity.. |

I've seen Jesus on a piece of toast, and it looked nothing like that!

Some scholars say the modern image of Jesus' face was based on one of the 7 Wonders - the statue of Zeus at Olympia, after it was said to be moved to Constantinople (which is why Jesus is now shown as a white man), this 'new' book was probably based on that too.
Personally, I agree, it was Robert Powell, and Babs Lord was Mary Magdalene.

Paul created a new religion based on that sect. |
