Christianity is Not Founded by One Person

Paul, a slave of Christ Jesus, called as an apostle and singled out for God’s good news - which He promised long ago through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures - concerning His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh and who has been declared to be the powerful Son of God by the resurrection from the dead according to the Spirit of holiness. (Romans 1:1-4 HCSB)

Christianity is not founded by one person. The message is promised long ago in the Old Testament. The so-called founder of Christianity, Jesus, born of a virgin, died, resurrected, ascended to heaven and promised to return. The foundation and spreading of Christianity was done mostly by Paul the Apostle. Humanly speaking, Paul did most of the grunt work.

Other religions are founded by one person. The founders died, even when they claimed to achieve some special state.
