He didn't raise himself from the dead in the Bible. Got any supporting verses to back up your theory? The Bible mentions nothing about your false narrative. You're attempting to use John 2:19 as a standalone proof text, but your premise is immediately refuted by John 2:22 which proves Jesus didn't raise himself from the dead. Do you know what a prophecy is?
The version I provided you is logical and grammatically correct. You not understanding English grammar isn't an excuse to say everything you disagree with is illogical.
Prophecy is speaking what will happen in the future. It must be true or you have a false prophet. Since Jesus said he will raise the temple, which is his body, the fulfillment of that is that he raises himself. This is simple English for those who know the language.
You are denying Jesus' speaking of what he would do in the future. But you say he did not raise himself and thus seem to say Jesus was lying.
So which did you go with? Did you decide God told Jesus to lie or that Jesus was a false prophet? You fail both on your rejection of Jesus' promise and on the improper interpretation of an agnostic determination of the cause of Jesus' resurrection. Two wrongs do not make it right.
Jesus spoke of what will happen in the future. "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." Obviously Jesus didn't kill himself no resurrect himself. The people killed him, though he was delivered to the people in God's plan.
That's not how John represented what Jesus said. John is at odds with you. He explained in John 2:22 that Jesus did not actually raise himself from the dead, but rather someone else did, i.e., God. It's clear because John spoke in the passive voice.
Do you really have to ruin the verse more than you already have? Three wrongs do not make a right. You have the choice of 1) Jesus raised himself, 2) Jesus lied and is a false prophet, or 3) you plead ignorance. I am just insisting that you be honest and not twist the verse in a nonsensical way. You are the cause of this since you do not admit your error.
You fail because you don't have any other verses about Jesus raising himself from the dead. John 2:22 proves Jesus didn't raise himself from the dead.
You sure do have sour grapes don't you. You just said prophecies are about what will happen in the future and then John 2:19 talks about what would happen in the future.
You deny the prophecy by denying Jesus' role in raising himself.You sure do have sour grapes don't you. You just said prophecies are about what will happen in the future and then John 2:19 talks about what would happen in the future.
There was another verse or two listed for him raising himself. We do not need several verses conveying this since Jesus speaks the truth in each instance.
Let's try this again.
Let's get this straight. You don't believe it's a prophecy in John 2:19, but it's clearly a prophecy in Matthew 12:39, 40. Compare it to John 2:19. It's a prophecy. And notice he said he will be three day and night in the heart of the earth, not paradise.
You have to go out of context to imply that God told Jesus to lie.
That works too. His body was in the grave three days until he raised himself up. I'm not sure why you threw that side note into the discussion. Obviously Matt 12 is reconcilable with Jesus raising himself up.
What Jonas gave was a prophecy and Jesus reused it.
Wrong. You're misunderstanding what Jesus is talking about. No one here believes Jesus lied.
What prophecy did Jonah give? I think you are showing another misconception of scripture.
