Was Jesus just another Savior God?

History records many dying-and-rising savior Gods.

Belief in the crucifixion of Gods was common in many oriental or heathen countries many years before the arrival of Jesus. Jesus was not the first Messiah to be crucified on a cross.

History books are full of mythical, fictitous characters from the Ancient Near East including Tammuz, Osiris, Dionysus, Adonis, Attis and Baal. A few 'Crucified' Savior Gods are listed below:

Godfrey Higgins 1772–1833 Higgins writes of many messiah-like "Saviors" who were crucified on a Cross or tree before ascending to Heaven:

One thing is clear - the mythos of the Hindus, the mythos of the Jews and the mythos of the Greeks are all at bottom the same; and what are called their early histories are not histories of humankind, but are contrivances under the appearance of histories to perpetuate doctrines.
Godfrey Higgins, Anacalypsis

Who is GOD?
In monotheism and henotheism, God is conceived as the Supreme Being and principal object of faith. The concept of God as described by theologians commonly includes the attributes of omniscience (infinite knowledge), omnipotence (unlimited power), omnipresence (present everywhere), omnibenevolence

(perfect goodness), divine simplicity, and eternal and necessary existence.

In theism, God is the creator and sustainer of the universe
In deism, God is the creator, but not the sustainer, of the universe
Monotheism is the belief in the existence of one God or in the oneness of God
In pantheism, God is the universe itself
In atheism, God is purported not to exist, while deemed unknown or unknowable within the context of agnosticism.
