Are you sure what you wrote to show that the Holy Spirit resurrected Jesus isn't talking about God the Father?
Well, didn't you read the scripture which says, "And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you?" This then would infer that the Spirit had part in raising Jesus. In addition, the verse also refers to "Spirit who is living in you" which we know is speaking about the Holy Spirit who indwells all believers.

The Father, Son and Holy Spirit all had part in Christ's resurrection, all being God.

But it says "if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead"?

That might be more than I can handle, Ahwatukee. Is Jesus the son of God though? Would that mean he is the son of God the Father?
It means that HE and the FATHER are ONE.
It means that HE came forth from GOD and into the world...
In the way and truth that a son has a father.

Though, according to the flesh, a son of david (his likeness) but according to the SPIRIT, THE SON of GOD...

Yes, JESUS is the SON OF GOD...

It also says that HE had the power to lay down HIS life and take it up again...that no one took it from HIM...

Ok, so Jesus is the Son of God, the Son of God the Father? (might just help if you confirm this)

Was Jesus raised from the dead by the Father, Himself, and the Holy Spirit? (God is the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit, right? One God but three different Persons?)

I might be asking questions I've already asked before, but I might just need confirmation.
What you are (unknowingly?) suggesting is that there are two HOLY SPIRITS...and there isn´t

Correct! And then the verse identifies the Spirit as the One who dwells believers, which is without a doubt the Holy Spirit.

When it says "If" Paul is not inferring doubt, but is comparing: If the Spirit (Holy Spirit) of Him (God the Father) dwells in you. Another way to say would be "Since the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you …"

I think you might be wrong, or I might be wrong.

And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead (the Father) is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead (the Father) will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.

I might not be putting this right, but I might be in error with what I wrote and I might get why. Just let me know what you think, I guess, Ahwatukee.

See why might have been the better way to put what I was writing, might have had trouble getting that out though.

I might have edited this post a few times, so it might not communicate what I originally intended.

Actually, I think I might be right.

The question was concerning: Is Jesus is the Son of God? The question is not about the resurrection, or the Spirit. The answer is yes, because the word of God was made flesh, (John1: 14) and after Jesus' resurrection God said "this day have I begotten you". Look up the scriptures referring to Christ, as God's son, for example John 3: 16, and others.

Jesus is the son of God, as in children of Satan according to Jesus, do what he does and did, which means Jesus being the son of God means that he resembles God in every way, but is called the Son because he is another person of the trinity. He is God just as much as the father and spirit in every way, but he took on human flesh and became submissive as a son would be.

Below are some of the major scriptures regarding the issue of who raised Jesus from the dead:

===================================================================================

“No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father." - John 10:18

“When they had carried out all that was written about Him, they took Him down from the tree and laid Him in a tomb. But God raised Him from the dead, and for many days He appeared to those who had accompanied Him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now His witnesses to our people. – Acts 13:29-30

And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you. – Romans 8:11

“Paul, an apostle—sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead—and all the brothers with me” – Gal.1:1-2

“These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength, which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in the one to come. – Eph.1:19

“And having been buried with Him in baptism, you were raised with Him through your faith in the power of God, who raised Him from the dead. – Colossians.2:12

“They tell how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath. – 1 Thess.1:9

The thread was : Is Jesus the Son of God? What is all this talk about who raised him from the dead? Start with John 1:1 and John 1:14 and go on from there.

The Father eternally generates the Son. Its not a one time event. The Father is generating the Son at this moment. The Father is knowing Himself in the Son. His Word. Only God can know God fully. The Father knows the Son and loves the Son in whom He is cognizant of Himself. The Son returns the Father's love and from this the Spirit of God flows like a river Crystal clear.

Only God can know God fully only God can love God fully.

With regards to the trinity...Any One we can fully understand is probably not worth worshipping.

However, we are told repeatedly, for example...God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son.

Yes Jesus is the Son of God the Father.

On the inside, Jesus was the "word of God made flesh. On the outside, he was the "second Adam" that completed all requirements to be saviour through his overcoming of the world, the flesh, and temptations of the devil. Only God, His words made flesh, were perfect enough to be a sufficient sacrifice , without blemish.
