Christianity started the day Adam and Eve fell from grace - it has only recently been fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ, God's Son, fully God, fully human, Savior.

The 3 oldest religions would be Judaism, Christianity and Islam. These three faiths all trace their spiritual roots back to the same individual, Abraham. The towering historical figures behind these three religions—Moses, Jesus Christ and Muhammad—were all direct descendants of Abraham.
Islam = Abraham’s first son, Ishmael
Christianity & Judaism = Abraham’s second son, (the promised seed) Isaac

Religion: human efforts to gain access to heaven or human access to placate a deity.
Would seem reasonable; but read the facts in the case!
Cain offered a bloodless sacrifice, and God was displeased.
Abel offered a blood sacrifice, and God was pleased.
But even earlier was the Worship of the Creator ... in the Garden, in the cool of the evening God and humans communed (had fellowship) with each other. Now, that would seem to be the oldest relationship between Creator and created.

Right one for who? Religion evolved a long time ago when homo sapiens first became afraid and needed an explanation for phenomenoms. So if their religion included running around in circles untill u get dizzy then run into walls untill someone passed out(just an example), would it be the right one just because it's oldest?

Not necessarily. I mean the oldest organized religion on Earth is either Buddhism or Hinduism and those religions are not right for those that are not of Indian or Asian descent. Just becaseu it's old doesn't mean that it's right for everyone.

No, the oldest religion wouldn't necessarily be the right one, any more than the oldest airplane would be the best form of aircraft.

At Hebrews 11:4, Paul identifies Abel as the first witness of Jehovah, saying: “By faith Abel offered God a sacrifice of greater worth than Cain, through which faith he had witness borne to him that he was righteous, God bearing witness respecting his gifts; and through it he, although he died, yet speaks.”
From this simlpe statement then, we see that Jehovah's Witnesess are the oldest religion, and you are right to think that it is the true one.

If the oldest of anything communicated were the absolute truth, that would mean that we would sail right off the earth because it is flat...NOT!

The only one would be the one that Christ formed, in a sense of the word, when he walked and taught his 12 apostles to teach others. Down to our day there are many religions that claim to be the right one BUT the one that is the right one does everything they are suppose to do according to what Christ taught. That is how to find them.
