Scripture-first response
“Who raised Jesus from the dead?”
Scripture attributes the resurrection to God, the Father, the Spirit, and Jesus’ own authority. These are complementary descriptions of the one God acting through the incarnation.
What the objection is claiming
Different biblical descriptions of resurrection agency are treated as contradictions or separate divine agents.
Romans 8:11
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.Open full referenceJesus is raised by God’s indwelling Spirit, one biblical way of describing the resurrection.
How the passages answer it
The Spirit of God raises Jesus, the Father is named as the divine source, and Jesus speaks with divine authority over His life. Oneness expects this overlap because the one God dwells bodily in Christ.
