The same supernatural event that caused Christianity: an ascension into the sky. But where's the historical proof for either outside the Koran and the Bible?
It's sad that I have translate your own posts to you.
You premise seems to be that christianity must be "correct" since it blossomed into a worldwide religion, and that couldn't have happened if it were not true.
Using that logic, that means that any widespread religions are also "correct".
Read the title of the thread. Take away the Bible and where's your proof for the resurrection? You're going to go back to "The religion that resulted" to which I'll say, "What about Mormonism?" To which you'll say, "The resurrection proves Christianity' to which I'll say, "Read the title of the thread."

Getting dizzy, jimmie?
Christianity was being practiced before the Bible was completed and canonized.
Not that that's proof enough for you, but it does suggest that the Bible isn't necessarily needed for Christian dogma. Having to prove everything via the "Bible only" is an invention of the Protestant reformation, some 1500 years into the whole thing.

I find Christianity was practiced since the day of Pentecost ( Acts chapters 1 and 2)
The Bible was completed by the year 100.
Before the end of the first century already the apostasy was setting in as per Acts 20:29-30.
Jesus and his first-century followers used "Bible only" .
Jesus often prefaced his statements with the words, " it is written...." meaning already written down in the OT.
Jesus expounded and explained the old Hebrew Scriptures for us.
This is also why we find throughout the Bible corresponding cross-reference verses and passages.

Your statement is a bit helter-skelter. The new Testament is absolutely critical for Christian dogma, particularly Christianity's central tenant: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved". Acts 16:31
But 2000 years is plenty of time for powerful leaders within the RCC and the Protestant Reformation to invent their own core of dogma, particularly 7 different forms of atonement theology. Couldn't God make up His mind?
