Thanks for your thoughtful response, Skyrider, but I have to disagree with you that whether Jesus raised himself or was raised by God is a question that cannot be answered. Of course it depends on whether one holds the scriptures to be true or not, for the scriptures tell us plainly that God raised Jesus from the dead. But there is also the fact that a dead person has no faculty to raise himself, unless one holds that dead persons are not really dead but still alive in some sense, a concept that I reject.

Are you saying that because you did think Jesus raised himself and you now realize that is not right?

Here is an article on the resurrection of Jesus, an historical event that gives the hope of immortality to all believers. But a myth has been built up around this event based on a misunderstanding of two passages of scripture. Please give me feedback. https://letthet***hcomeoutblog.wordpress.com/2018/02/06/an-easter-myth/
