Jesus raised Himself from the dead

[Teritos]

John 2:19-22
Jesus answered and said to them: Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. But he spoke about the temple of his body. Now when he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.

According to the Bible, only Jesus' body died, but the spirit within him never died and cannot die. Because all things exist through him, if his spirit would die, the whole world would perish.
What do you think about it?

I think it fits with a Jesus who believed He wasn't annihilated at death. But I think you are probably relying on other scriptures to say that all things exist through Jesus, because it appears to not say that in the text you quoted.

Jesus is God and God is a Spirit and His spirit has no beginning and no end. We have a soul which can never cease to exist, it will live on into all eternity after our body dies.

That is correct! Jesus tied the resurrection to the "proofs" demanded by the Pharisees of his "authority". Imagine Christianity without the return of Jesus?

daniel 12:2 mentions this and revelation tells how it can be done for same.


jesus is a pattern not an exception

There wasn't a sacrifice, that's a Pagan idea that became part of the new, after-cross doctrine.

1Pe_1:21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.

Jesus is God, so returning from the death of his body on his own volition is the same as saying "God raised him up".

People who believe in the preexistent divinity of Jesus tend to quote Jesus, people who don't tend to quote Paul.

 

[Fool]

Yes, he returned to his rightful place on high after which he poured out the "spirit of truth" on us all.

the spirit of truth is in all colossians 3:11. it just needs to be understood by those who are dead.

no one goes up to heaven except the son of man who came down. the Spirit returns to the one who gave it; whether one who had it knew or not


son of man

The rendering for the Hebrew "ben adam," applied to mankind in general, as opposed to and distinct from non-human relationship; expressing also the larger, unlimited implications of humanity as differentiated from limited (e.g., national) forms and aspects of human life. Thus, contrasted with the "sons of God" ("bene Elohim") are the "daughters of man" ("benot ha-adam"), women taken by the former, non-human or super-human, beings as wives (Gen. vi. 2 et seq.). As expressing difference from God, the term occurs in the blessing of Balaam: "God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent" (Num. xxiii. 19).

Jesus was both human and divine. He was and is real.

and so is everyone else. he is a pattern, not an exception.

the bible, nor jesus, promoted anthropolatry. its an abomination

 

[Colt]

yet jesus said you are all gods; so jesus isn't god alone

Jesus is our Creator Son. That was a revelation to us in the Life of Jesus of Nazareth.

 

[Colt]

and so is everyone else

I disagree. We are Sons of God and potentially eternal. We didn't preexist as creators in heaven before this world was.

there is one father, not two.

malachi 2:10

you can disagree all you like but fantasy and belief are not necessarily real things. this is why it is written, belief like faith without works is d-e-a-d

jesus was begotten; which literally means created.


again the bible and jesus didn't promote idolatry because to a jew it's the gravest of sins. jesus was a jew. idolatry is the abomination which causes desolation because unlike an idolator who elevates someone, or something above another, god is not a respecter of persons. god makes the sunshine to shine and rain to fall on all.


my spirit pre-existed the creation of my body.

ecclesiastes 12:7

1 corinthians 6:19


you associate yourself with the body. i associate myself with the Spirit. that is the difference in understanding.

you are a believer and not a knower john 14:20 is about knowing. jesus said what ever you do unto the least of these, you do unto me.


so something about jesus is the same about other as self.

Just because you don't understand it, and don't believe it ,doesn't mean it isn't true. The Father delegates powers and authority to his subordinate sons of relative divinity. To us they are One, they are God.
