You are saying then that God died but raised himself from the dead.
The Bible clearly calls Jesus a man. How do you explain that?

Jesus was a man.
But the Bible also clearly says that the Word, which was with God in the beginning, ... and was God, ... became flesh and dwelt among us as Christ.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God.
...
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father) full of grace and truth.
The Bible also says that He that was born in Bethlehem to be the ruler of Israel, ... had His origins in eternity.
Micah 5:2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
The Bible also says that Jesus taught that He existed ... before Abraham.
John 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
The Bible also says that He that was born of the virgin was ... the Mighty God.
Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
The Bible also says that that Jesus prayed (before His crucifixion) ... that He would be restored to the glory that He shared with the Father ... before the world was.
John 17:5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
The Bible also says that Christ relinquished His equality with God, and became man, and went to the cross in obedience to the Father, and now has been raised up to rule all things.
Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
How do you explain these ?
The Bible also says that nothing is impossible with God.
I imagine that you can't explain that.
But of course ... neither can I ... and I don't expect to be able to.
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us...”
But you knew that already since you claim familiarity with the Bible.
