Quote:The New Testament story is heavily plagiarized from an Egyptian god named Horus.
Do you perhaps refer to the Jesus myth found in The Gospels?
Yes,there are some SUGGESTED parallels between the Jesus and Horus myths,but the claims of the story of Jesus being lifted directly from other myths are bogus and have been thoroughly debunked. It does seem plausible that Horus may have been the archetypal Christ. However,mythology is a mine field.It's a brave scholar who claims causal connections between myths in different cultures as fact.
Note :The term ' historical fact" is often misleading.Artefacts,such as ruins and documents are are facts. The interpretations are not. Historians' accounts of events,people's lives and beliefs are deductions based on available evidence,which is ALWAYS limited. Explanations are constantly changing.
EG a few recent changes:
Revisionist historians are beginning to accept that the popular monstrous image of the emperor 'Caligula' ('little boots'. Actual name;Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus) ) is a gross exaggeration.
It is now becoming widely accepted by historians that the Jewish Egyptian captivity and exodus is complete myth..The age of Judaism is also being revised downwards to around 800BCE. (Babylonian captivity)
It also becoming increasingly clear that it was unlikely that Egypt was a slave society.That conclusion has been deduced from recent discoveries of what seem to be the ruins of entire worker's villages in Giza and elsewhere. ( Google 'ancient Egyptian workers villages')

FOR YOUR INFORMATION: THE BOOKS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT:
Quote:Gospels
Each of the Gospels narrates the life and death of Jesus of Nazareth. The traditional author is listed after each entry; modern scholarship generally regards these as anonymous.
* The Gospel of Matthew, traditionally ascribed to the Apostle Matthew, son of Alphaeus according to Papias, (see the Gospel according to the Hebrews) Clement of Alexandria, Irenaeus and Eusebius.[1]
* The Gospel of Mark, traditionally ascribed to Mark the Evangelist, who wrote down the recollections of the Apostle Simon Peter according to Papias, Clement of Alexandria, Irenaeus, Eusebius.[2]
* The Gospel of Luke, traditionally ascribed to Luke, a physician and companion of the Apostle Paul according to Clement of Alexandria, Irenaeus, Eusebius, Canon Muratori.[3]
* The Gospel of John, traditionally ascribed to the Apostle John, son of Zebedee according to Papias, Clement of Alexandria, Irenaeus, Eusebius, Canon Muratori, Codex Vaticanus Alexandrinus.[4]
The first three are commonly classified as the Synoptic Gospels. They contain very similar accounts of events in Jesus' life. The Gospel of John describes several miracles and sayings of Jesus not found in the other three.
[edit] Acts
The book of Acts, also termed Acts of the Apostles or Acts of the Holy Spirit, is a narrative of the Apostles' ministry after Christ's death and subsequent resurrection, which is also a sequel to the third Gospel. Examining style, phraseology, and other evidence, modern scholarship generally concludes that Acts and Luke share the same author.
* Acts, traditionally ascribed to Luke according to Clement of Alexandria, Eusebius, Canon Muratori.[5]
[edit] Pauline epistles
The Pauline epistles (or Corpus Paulinum) constitute those epistles traditionally attributed to Paul. However the authorship of a number of the other epistles is sometimes disputed (see section on authorship below, and Authorship of the Pauline epistles).
* Epistle to the Romans
* First Epistle to the Corinthians
* Second Epistle to the Corinthians
* Epistle to the Galatians
* Epistle to the Ephesians
* Epistle to the Philippians
* Epistle to the Colossians
* First Epistle to the Thessalonians
* Second Epistle to the Thessalonians
* First Epistle to Timothy
* Second Epistle to Timothy
* Epistle to Titus
* Epistle to Philemon
* Epistle to the Hebrews - about which modern scholars agree with Origen (d 254) "Men of old time have handed it down as Paul's, but who wrote the Epistle God only knows"[6] - few modern scholars believe it to be written by Paul[7].
[edit] General epistles
See main article: General epistles
Includes those Epistles written to the church at large (catholic in this sense simply means universal).
* Epistle of James, traditionally by James, brother of Jesus and Jude Thomas.
* First Epistle of Peter, traditionally ascribed to the Apostle Simon, called Peter.
* Second Epistle of Peter, traditionally ascribed to the Apostle Simon, called Peter.
* First Epistle of John, traditionally ascribed to the Apostle John, son of Zebedee.
* Second Epistle of John, traditionally ascribed to the Apostle John, son of Zebedee.
* Third Epistle of John, traditionally ascribed to the Apostle John, son of Zebedee.
* Epistle of Jude, traditionally ascribed to Jude Thomas, brother of Jesus and James.
[edit] Revelation
The final book of the New Testament is the Book of Revelation. The authorship is attributed either to the Apostle John, son of Zebedee or to John of Patmos. For a discussion of authorship see Authorship of the Johannine works.
Revelation is sometimes called The Apocalypse of John. It is also not read or used during church services by the Eastern Orthodox church.
