Indeed.
Said form's resurrection was but supposedly so; for no God (in Yaweh's capacity) existed such that said alternate God possessed resurrection-capability.
Therein, a rather pertinent query emerges; What resurrected God, whilst his three day death persisted?
Simple: God didn't die. The Son of God united an actual human nature to itself, and lived on earth as a single divine person named Jesus. Jesus, therefore, is god united to a human nature. God cannot "die". A human nature united to god can die. Jesus died in the only way he could... in his humanity. However, since Jesus's human nature was united to god, Jesus retained his own power to rise from the dead.
So what resurrected God? Nothing. God never died.
What resurrected Jesus's human nature? The same divinity to which it was united in the first place.
