Who Started Christianity?

Tell them about Jesus and his resurrection. You'll be doing more than helping them - you'll be saving them by the power of God, unto eternal life.

Depends on which bible you are talking about. There is also the bible that the Catholics use, and they have some extra books there. The Ethopian Orthodox church has the 'wide' canon and the 'narrow' canon, for a total of 80 books.

Of course, all the New Testament stuff is just made up nonsense, and not really scripture at all.

And not a few OT stories can be found inscribed on Sumerian clay tablets dating from long before Christianity raised its head.

To be sure. A large number of the Psalms that are attributed to David are copied almost word for word from the clay tablets that existed 400 years before David was supposed to have been born. Some of them from the Urgartic bible actually make more sense, because the translator into Hebrew made some translation errors.

To me, it makes absolute sense from a historical point of view that many of the psalms did have the connection from the urgartic bible, because the oral stories that are told about Abraham had him coming from the city of Ur. Those oral stories were much older than the discovery of the Urargtic scriptures of the clay tablets, so having the oral tradition match up with archeological discoveries is interesting.

It is interesting and demonstrates that Christianity is not a unique religion, as believers claim.
