I have no idea where you came up with this, but it is completely false. While there are clear aspects of Christian morals in Lord of the Rings, it would have been extremely clearly heretical if it had been ever claimed to be a real account (as it has a completely different God, Eru Iluvatar, as the creator, for example).
Not to mention, Tolkien has written quite a bit about the three ages preceding The Third Age (the Dawn Age and the two numbered ages), and there is no mention of Adam, Eve, God, King Solomon, Moses, Noah, the Flood, or any other parts of the Christian mythos of the first few ages. And there are a great many more evil lords, giant spiders, winged eagles, and magical rings then you'll find in any Bible.
