  First line of question might be a valid question. But the next two lines clearly show that they are not sincere questions but rather just show that the threadstarter just wants to create trouble.

  Actually, one would be surprise by the number of Chinese Characters that is said to be mentioned in the Bible.
  
  Nu Wa for example, is a Chinese godness said to have made the first human but is equally famous for delivering human from a disastrous flood. Nu Wa's pronouciation is similar to Noah, which coincidentally also deliver humans from flood.
  
  The Chinese Character of Mo (devil) is written with a Guang (vast) Lin (forest, indicated by 2 trees) and Gui (Ghost) which can be explain as the the Ghost under the tree in the vast garden. Incidentally forest is indicated by 2 trees, one tree of knowledge of good and evil and the other tree?
  
  There are actually quite a few more of such characters, but I can't remember them now. I read most of them from some books written by Chinese Christians trying to link Christianity to Ancient Chinese, doesn't always make sense, but quite interesting.
  
  Interesting though, there is recent research that Qin Shi Huang who is also known as Yin Zheng was actually not called Yin Zheng, but due to some dialect mistranslation, his name would probably be Anda or Andy, and there you go, a Chinese with a English name. Other notable Ancient Chinese with Ang Mo names would be our dear Confucius also known as Johnny Kong and his successor Mencius, known as Michael Meng. (The reason for it is Kong Zi's name is Qiu but his other name is Zhong Ni, which sounds like Johnny and Meng Zi's name is Ke, so his name is Meng Ke which sounds like Michael)

  According to the Christian argument, all man can inherit salvation.
  
  And according to them again, the Jews were chosen to show mankind a negative example - that all the commandments cannot save you because you can't follow them all. So poor Jews .. they were effectively guinea pigs.
  
  So will you rather be a gentile or a Jew?

  No lar, not actual evidence, just random speculations by some books trying very hard to link Christianity to Ancient Chinese. But its good fun though
