The life of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, as told through the New Testament, is a fabrication

They are following my rules for this debate. I must first say that my opponent must have misunderstood something within my last post. I have made no assertion that a man named Jesus, who represents the framework for Christianity never existed. I am only concerned with the validity of the "Story of Jesus" as told through a theological perspective. It is irrelevant to my argument as to whether or not the man himself existed. I could make an argument stating that the theological story of Joseph Smith is a fabrication, and it would not at all rely on whether or not he actually existed. Opponent:"This is otherwise known as the 'Pagan copy-cat' movement, which states that the story of Jesus is a copy of earlier pagan religions. It originated in the late 1700's in Germany, by a basic university school called the 'religionsgeschichte schule' (History of Religion school) who proposed this idea. "I am not referring to this movement whatsoever as a basis for my argument. I will even admit that I am unaware of this movement. My knowledge on the subject stems from the Egyptologist Gerald Massey, who was born in 1828. First, a little history on the man:Massey was born in England. Completely self taught (as someone born into poverty would most likely be at the time), he was still revered as an authority and lecturer on Egyptology. He could read in English, French, Latin, Greek, and to a certain degree Hebrew and Egyptian. The time period in which he lived was a heyday for Egyptology, being soon after the discovery of the famous Rosetta Stone and beginning of the decipherment of Egyptian Hieroglyphics. To lend him a hand of credibility in light of his financial background and manner in which he attained his knowledge, I will list just a few prominent Egyptologists and Assyriologists of the time who either provided positive peer reviews of his work, arguments supporting his work or cited his work in a positive light with respect and reverence:Dr. Samuel Birch (peer reviewed and aided Massey throughout his life)Sir LockyerDr. Theophilus Goldridge Pinches Lawyer and Egyptologist William R. CooperRev Dr. Robert Taylor (Who was imprisoned twice in violation of the blasphemy laws of Britain, for revealing correlations between Christianity and previous religions/mythologies)**These revealings were published before Massey's, but still within the 1800's**If my opponent does still plan to attack my sources credibility, I must remind them of other poor or self taught intellectuals that were of the utmost importance in Egyptology:Michael Ventrice - Having no credentials in the relevant field, he still succeeded where all others had failed, in deciphering the ancient Cretan script of linear B. Dr. Thomas Young (physician) - He helped decipher hieroglyphics and the Egyptian language using the Rosetta Stone. Many Egyptologists place him ahead of the famous Champollion in regards as to who contributed most to the field of the day. All of my listed contrasts were not pulled from the "Zeitgeist" movie (which I have not seen), nor from the "Pagan Copy Cat Movement" (of which I am unfamiliar), but from Gassey and the writings of his peers, whom I mentioned above. That being said, my opponents attacks on my list of contrasts are not quite as valid as they seem to think. I will now discuss my opponents attacks on my contrasts, but due to the size of my resources, cannot follow the same order as they did in their initial attacks. I will provide one example for each attack on the contrasts to show that they do indeed exist. The crucifixion:The manner in which Jesus was executed isn't always told as a crucifixion. In Mt 27:40, he is impaled on a stauros, and in Acts 5:30; 10:39; 13:29, he is said to have been hung on a tree. In fact, according to admissions from the church Fathers Tertullian and Minucius Felix, it was "Other Gods" who were shown on the cross, or in cruciform, while Jesus was not shown to be on the cross in Christian art until the late fifth century. In the Coptic Museum in Old Cairo, an Egypto-Christian artifact was known to be the crucified Jesus along with Horus. Horus was in fact identified with the crucified Jesus. It should also be noted, that it is not because of Jesus that the cross is a significant symbol in Christianity. This came from depictions of Moses making the sign of the cross. Buried in a tomb, resurrected after 3 days:My opponent cites one single interpretation as a successful attack on this contrast. Yes it is true, there are interpretations where this did not happen with Horus. But there also are interpretations where it did. This came from actually a few different interpretations (Do not forget that the death of Horus signified his form to that of being born again as Osiris) I will list a few according to their sources:"Osiris was 3 days and 3 nights in the waters before he was restored again" -The American Journal of Theology "The solemn mourning for the god Osiris, 'Lord of the Tombs', lasted for three days, and began at sunset" -Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada “Isis also discovered the elixir of immortality, and when her son Horus fell victim to the plots of the Titans and was found dead beneath the waves, she not only raised him from the dead and restored his soul, but also gave him eternal life” - The Antiquities of Egypt “The Book of the Dead promised resurrection to all mankind, as a reward for righteous living, long before Judaism and Christianity embraced that concept" -The Egyptian Book of the Dead by Dr. Ogden GoeletI must also add, that there are depictions of Christ descending into the underworld during his 3 day death, referenced in Matthew 12:40. The Virgin Birth:My opponent states that since Isis created a makeshift phallus to impregnate herself with Horus, shows that she was not a virgin during the conception. I can say with conviction, that this does not make Isis any less a virgin, and it should be obvious why. In one interpretation, Isis is actually mentioned as the "Virgin Wife" of Osiris. The 12 companions:If I had only stated this single contrast, then surely I would have been stating it as an over-riding quality of the similarities between Jesus and Horus. But when it is included among the many others, it becomes supporting evidence. My opponents attack on this contrast was self defeating. Born on December 25:My opponent admits here that the birth date of Jesus was in fact a fabrication. This is in agreement with my case that the Story of Jesus is a fabrication. In this case, if my opponent is right, then he is wrong. Therefore, I will not spend any time on this contrast, although I very well could. I will also apply this response to "The 3 wise men".
