Also, they must realize that "Dead" means lifeless and devoid of all powers. So if he died, then someone else had to bring him back to life, since he is devoid of all powers. Therefore, he can not be God.

Jesus was God incarnate. He was part man, part God. When Jesus was on the cross His divine spirit left Him. So, when Jesus died He was just a man. Upon resurrection the spirit of God entered Jesus and He was alive again. Therefore, Jesus is God.

I wish I had time to go thru this thoroughly...
Jesus gave up His heavenly realm to be born and walk on this earth. He was God in the flesh. Being man, He was crucified, and was buried for three days. Legally dead.
On the third day, Jesus was resurrected by the power of God. He no longer resides on earth but in heaven.
John 1:1,14
John 10:30
1 John 5:7-8 speak more of His divineship as God.

This is where the word of Jesus is corrupted, the apostles who wrote about jesus being God is wrong. He was only a prophet. The true uncorrupt faith, Islam, states he was only a prophet, because God is IMMORTAL, he can bare no SONS, and no one can SEE HIM (Even te bible states God can't be seen). God spoke to prophet Muhammad through the angel Gabriel as the last prophet to re-tell everyone the TRUE word of God as revealed to him in the Qu'ran, and not the writtings of Jesus's apostles (Mark, Luke, Matthew etc) Christians follow a book based on the writtings wo glorify Jesus making him something he is not (Son of God). Jesus was sent to spread the word of 1 God, yet, the writers of the Bible have corrupted this saying he was the son of God. And because of this, Christians and Catholics forget about God and worship Jesus and Saints.,

He died for us as a perfect sacrifice. But he didn't stay dead. He rose again, and he did that through God. And how can you really know what dead is, if you've never experienced it for yourself? People die and come back on hospital beds and surgery tables all the time. He rose immortal after he had to die for us. He died so that you could believe what you want, and still have a chance to change when your realize what you did wrong.

Jesus Christ is both True God and True Man. JEsus has both a distinct divine and human nature in one divine person. Jesus' humanity was sacrificed on the cross and died. Jesus Christ, The God-man, is now risen, alive and enthroned in glory next to God the Father.
our earthly families are created in the image and likeness of the true and perfect family: The HOly Trinity (God The Father, God the Son, and God the HOly SPirit. They are each God and they are ONE God). GOD is three persons in eternal communion and are a single nature. God bless.

Jesus and Heavenly Father are different beings. Heavenly Father has never touched the earth physically. Jesus Christ was born here by the virgin Mary. There are many passages in the Bible, (like Jesus' baptism) where God talks and Jesus is on the earth.

The Epistle to the Philippians says that he 'emptied' Himself, to take on the form of a man. It might help to note that the concept of the Kinsman Redeemer is written about in the Book of Ruth. That's why the Book of Ruth is there.
The Bible is really deep with stuff like that. An incredible amount of the Old Testament is actually telling us about the Christ. It's just that most people, even Christians, don't dig deep enough to see it.

Jesus is God, because in
John 10:30 " I and my father are one."
John 14:9 "Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?"
Mark 8:31 "He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again."

Wrong. Jesus has the keys of the grave. He COULD have raised Himself from the dead. But He instead allowed His Father to wake Him up. Changes what death means to a follower of Christ, no?

Jesus is God in the sense that He was born of the same Spirit.
