I can show that communities, Hebrew Yeshuine communities, not influenced by
Greek
mythology did not make such "equations", and thought with good reason that
most of the
NT you are finding reference to was bogus.

So...what's your point besides preaching to the choir. Winners (violently)
writing
history, etc. Using the carefully choreographed Christian Bible to back its
own
theology doesn't prove much, and it doesn't have much (if anything at all) to
do with
Tanak Hebrew.

Save it for Sunday school.
