Doesn't it seem parts of the gospels are copied from Homer? Example: the parable of the vineyard follows the order/motif of the suitors?
Jesus says the master went to a faraway country, and his estate was left to wicked servants who mistreated the master's servants, and then plotted to kill the master's son, the heir of his estate
The Odyssey says Odysseus went to Troy, and Telemachus left to find news of him, so the suitors trying to marry Penelope plotted to kill him upon his return and take his estate

No.
@the parable of the vineyard follows the order/motif of the suitors?
This parable is about Jesus and His Kingship over the Jews.

No, there's really not a significant correlation between the works of Homer and the Gospels. Your example is based on a very broad and superficial similarity between the two stories.

Early Christian thought was still influenced by pre-Christian beliefs. The bible even twice mentions the Greek god Zeus: First in Acts 14:8–13, second in Acts 28:11.

No you will find that Mentor watched over Telemachus. On consideration there was no real similarity. Virgil does however speak of Lucifer, by which he means the Morning Star. (bearer of light)
