Sea Breeze, why do you all have to bring in these unscriptural, made up diagrams?
The diagram is scriptural and illustrates how Jesus is both Fully Man and Fully God. Please explain how my chart is unscriptural or inconsistent?
Body, Soul and Spirit???? What does that have to do with anything?
It has everything to do with it. Before the rise of materialism in the 19th century it was commonly accepted that the spirit of a man and the soul of a man were persons. They are referred to as persons in scripture.
In John 2:19 Jesus did not predict that he would raise himself from the dead, because Acts said that God raised him up. And if he could raise himself from the dead, he wasn't dead.
Sure he did claim that:
John 2: 19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? But he spake of the temple of his body.
22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said. (See also John 10: 18)
This is why the resurrection was such a big deal. He predicted he would resurrect himself from the dead, while he was dead. That was AWESOME. This event is what the first Christians believed in as the above scripture clearly shows.
Your definition of "dead" needs to be restored to its original meaning. In the bible "death" means separation of the soul, body and soul:
Gen. 35: 18 - And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin. And Rachel died, and was buried.
Death just means "separation":
"The wages of sin is death" (separation from the body)
"The soul that is sinning will die" (become separated from its body)
What part of the below chart do you find unscriptural or inconsistent?
The fact that scripture says that...
1. Jesus raised himself from the dead
2. The Father raised him from the dead
3. The Holy Spirt raised Jesus from the dead
... gives powerful evidence that Jesus was both God and Man.
This is very simple to understand if you use biblical definitions. If you don't use biblical definitions, you're just wasting your time.
