My answer would be Yes, because He said He would do it Himself.“Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”
Finally, you do believe the bible after all. so, as said, no back and forth, but pure REASONING..... if God can REASON with us why we cannot do the same? Isaiah 1:18 "Come now,
and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."
if you care to REASON, instead of back and forth, let's REASON together as the LORD said. scripture, still in John chapter 2, John 2:22 "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."
now, let's REASON together. if his disciples, Peter included, (see John 1:42-) "remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said." why then did Peter on the day of Pentecost ....FULL of the Holy Ghost, said this. Acts 2:24 "Whom
God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it." but before the council, Peter and the other apostles said this, Acts 5:29 "Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men." Acts 5:30 "
The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree."
Here Peter and the other apostles specified clearly that the God who raised up the body of Jesus was, "
The God of our fathers", meaning the God of the O.T. remember, John 2:22 "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." now if they remembered what the Lord Jesus said, and believed the scriptures, then JESUS is none other that the "LORD", the GREAT "I AM" of the old testament.
this is clear REASONING of the scriptures. if you disagree, please point out the ERROR(
