Would Jesus promote punishing the innocent instead of the guilty?

Regardless of whether christians copied other narratives or not, that's not the case.  We can state, if we like, that many people over lots of time and geography came up with the type of salvific figure found in the NT all on their own - the NT being one example of it.  We do that alot, with objects and ideas.

By stating specifically that there were prior examples of figures who died for other people and then were resurrected. I just wonder where are these examples? Or rather what primary sources reveal those to be the case.

I agree nothing is truly unique about Christianity. Views evolve over time, yes, so one could argue that the resurrection of Jesus was derived from certain prior beliefs or whatever, but it doesn't mean they were based on some prior identical accounts of resurrections or that such prior accounts exist.
