Out of respect for your "lord", you should at least get his name right) is, than the story of Apollonius of Tyana.
Yeshua is the Hebrew name for the Lord. It means "Yahweh [the Lord] is Salvation." The English spelling of Yeshua is “Joshua.” However, when translated from Hebrew into the Greek language, the name Yeshua becomes Iēsous. The English spelling for Iēsous is “Jesus.”
Basically, what this means is Yeshua , Joshua and Jesus are the same name. One is translated from Hebrew into English, the other from Greek into English. It is also interesting to note, the names "Joshua" and "Isaiah" are essentially the same names as Yeshua in Hebrew. They mean "Savior" and "the salvation of the Lord."
Thank you for going the very long route of confirming and reaffirming exactly what I just said. Anyway, please do go look up the story of how Horus became a god. You'll find it interesting how close the details of his story, and Jesus' (Yeshua, sorry) match.
