the Jews demanded, “What sign can You show us to prove Your authority to do these things?”
Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.”
“This temple took forty-six years to build,” the Jews replied, “and You are going to raise it up in three days?”
But Jesus was speaking about the temple of His body. After He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this. Then they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken. (Jn 2:18-22)
the Bible also says God raised Him from the dead (twice that i can think of in Acts), and in Gal 1 we read it was God the Father who did so. 2 Peter 3 indicates the Spirit raised Him.

Jesus was God. But you are trying to dictate to God as to how he must exercise his deity to be a kind of God you will recognise as God. You are dictating that a God worthy of your worship must never give up His use of His own omnipotence and rely on someone else's power.
You are telling us what you believe about what God said and did. You can make whatever assumption you like, but your feelings and opinions have no baring on reality. You don't get to dictate to God how He must behave.

Yes, because He had to live as a man only in order to qualify for the Cross. He had to live a perfectly righteous HUMAN life or none of us could be saved. He couldn't cheat and act as God in some situations and not others. He had to do the Fathers will at all times as the perfect man.
If you don't know why it is a problem that Jesus should be "switching" between living as a man and living as God then you don't really understand why the Devil tried to tempt Him with the specific temptations he used. You are are advocating that Christ did the very thing the Devil wanted Him to do yet failed to achieve.
As an aside, I'm curious ... (you don't have to answer if it's personal) what is the significance of 2024 in your avatar?

I stand/aise my temple/body up every morning. I'm not using my own omnipotence to do that.

Acts 2:27 For you will not abandon my SOUL to Hades, or let your Holy One see corruption...
v. 21 David foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that He was not abandoned to Hades nor did His flrsh see corruption
32 This Jesus God raised up."
1 Pet 1:2 who through him are believers in God, who raised Him from the dead (out of dead ones Greek ek nekrOn) and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God. Out from [the] dead [ones] , ek [tOn] nekrOn, is often used about Christ.
