The Jesus of the bible was Jewish and resticted his preaching to first century Palestine. That said, there are indicatons he wanted his message to spread beyond those borders to become a truly international, multiracial global religion.

Are you contesting the claim that people arrive at a religion and then claim it to be correct? If so, please show how this is false as it seems self evident.
If you meant something else, it is unclear as to what you are referring to.

I think religions created in the 1800s are false literally on the basis of when they were created.

1863 Adventists
1870 JWs
1820s Mormonism

What happened at that time to create these new religions?

I believe you are overthinking this. I say this because humans have been inventing gods and religions for all of known human history. That religions were still being created in the 1800's and beyond is just more evidence for the truth of this.

Some people that have picked one religion to call true are uncomfortable with this fact (that humans create gods and religions) because of what it suggest about their preferred religion.

If when a religion was invented had anything to do with the truth of said religion, we would all be Hindu.
Since we are not all Hindu, it would seem that when a religions was invented is meaningless.

Is there something that I'm missing?

Well I think religions rise up in a context.

Why not examine the context.

Even Jesus appeared at a time when a Messiah was expected.

Jesus came along at a time when a messiah was fervently wanted because of the Roman occupation, but wouldn't----or at least shouldn't----have been expected because the Messiah is supposed to build a new temple (see Ezekiel) and at the time of Jesus the Jews had a temple.

They had the temple they wanted but not the temple they needed. I like it.

God has promised to guide humble believers into all truth. Christians must pray to God for wisdom and not trust in human theologies.
