Your reading into scripture when you should read out of scripture... Look at your support verse...
NASB Act 3:13 "The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His servant Jesus, the one whom you delivered and disowned in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release Him. 14 "But you disowned the Holy and Righteous One and asked for a murderer to be granted to you, 15 but put to death the Prince of life, the one whom God raised from the dead, a fact to which we are witnesses.
Net Bible Act 3:13 The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our forefathers, has glorified his servant Jesus,
ESV BIBLE Act 3:13 The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified his servant Jesus,
Jesus is clearly GOD's servant!!! The newly raised "founding Leader." God's chosen one!
What kind of servant? The First born from the dead as scripture teaches... Psa 89:26 "He (Jesus) will cry to Me(GOD), 'You are my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.' 27 "I also shall make him My firstborn, The highest of the kings of the earth.
YOU can not be God and then claim to have one as Jesus clearly teaches both before and after his resurrection... Much less be God and His servant!
Let me let scripture tell you exactly who Jesus is....
Act 2:22 "Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know--
Yet you don't know do you...
Study harder... your letting men tell you what to believe...

There are no scriptures saying the Son raised himself from the dead! That's a fact!
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of GOD the Father, not a separate being!!! Jesus clearly tells you this!!!
Luk 12:11 And when they bring you before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, do not be anxious about how you should defend yourself or what you should say, 12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say."
Mat 10:19 When they deliver you over, do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say, for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour. 20 For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
Not surprised you did not know this!
and you state: and that The Trinity raised Jesus from the dead.
Wow, that's amazing since the word trinity is absent from our Scripture! You post with traditions of men emotions, you feel it to be true then it must be true... Much how our current Government runs today. Lacking facts and truth you feel like scripture teaches such things when it does no such thing! :think:
Yet, there are many scriptures teaching GOD raised him from the dead...
Now let’s take a look at one of the many verses that speak of God raising Jesus. Acts 2:32 states:
"God raised this Jesus"
Who raised this Jesus? GOD! Notice that it does not say "the Father," but "God." Unless we discard every known rule of language, we can see that Jesus is not included in the term God. Another point to be made is that God is alive and Jesus is dead. God is raising Jesus from the dead. As Timothy pointed out before, God is immortal, He cannot die. Jesus on the other hand is DEAD. If you believe Jesus to be God, then it is obvious that Jesus was never truly dead because he did in fact raise himself from the dead. A huge problem arises with this absurd idea in that the forgiveness of our sins comes only through the death of Jesus Christ as the Bible states. If Jesus is God then there was no real death because God is raising Jesus. Do you think that the Bible is wrong or that the creeds that were created by men that made Jesus God are wrong. Someone is wrong, the question is who, the writers of the Bible or the writers of YOUR creeds?
When preaching to these Jews Peter presents a Messiah who is the descendent of King David (v.30). He is one who would have rotted and decayed in the grave like any other man had not God raised him up again (v.24-32). Because God authenticated "this Jesus" by resurrecting him (thus reversing the national verdict accusing him of blasphemy, that is, claiming to be God's Messiah), Jesus is now "exulted to the right hand of God" (v. 33). God has thus sealed "this Jesus whom you crucified" (v.36) and declared him as "Lord and Messiah" to the nation of Israel and "for all who are far off" (the Gentiles as well, v.39). The proof of his Messiahship is that the Holy Spirit has been poured out.
