This juxtaposition of God's promises proves BOTH Christ's deity and the the deity of the Spirit, but most easily shows Christ's deity.

Out of context, for the sake of brevity, though the context only reinforces and defines it: "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." vs " And I will raise him up on the last day” If the Father is doing this by the Spirit, and the Son is also, then they are one and the same God.

If Christ is not raised, then we cannot be raised. Because we still in our sins. Therefore the Father has given the authority to Christ to raise whom he will.

So not one and the same God? The one only able because of authority given by the other?

Everything Christ has is given, granted, appointed or committed to him from the Father. There is nothing that is not.

Including his very being? The Son of God is a created being? Only a created being?

He is first the son of God born in weakness of the flesh. He is then son of God in power by resurrection from the dead. Just like his brethren.

Is he God, or not? Did he become God, or has he always been God the creator?

He is God in the sense that the Father has made him so. But he has a God. The one true God is the Father of Jesus. Jesus comes in His name.
He didn’t pre-exist. He was born.

Before I sign off, consider the ludicrous logic that makes Almighty God no longer the one and only God.

I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt. We're done.

Yes. That's because Christ is omnipotent.

Philippians 3:20–21 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.​

That is what Unitarians do in their man-only doctrine. They turn Jesus Christ into some kind of demi-god, especially after his resurrection. They acknowledge these certain qualities of Deity. So, instead of saying that he is a mere man. He becomes unique, special, or God's representative who was given all authority from the Father. You know, only type of authority that God alone can possess. The authority of the Father demonstrates the Deity of Christ.

I would offer..

Christ "the anointing teacher master" (Father).

Emanuel working in and with the Son of Man, Jesus to both reveal His will and empower mankind to perform it to his unseen glory . Just as he does in all sons of God. . . born again believers

I would think . . Can't divide Christ from Christ.

God is not a Jewish man dying mankind. He is eternal living Spirit.

Jesus our brother in the Lord is not ashamed to call all born again believers brother sisters .

Not as we will (no power) but as he Faithfully creatively declares (let there be). . power. The good will kind.

Like the gospel song . .What a friend we have in Jesus.

Matthew 12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

Mark 3:35 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother
