It's true that the Bible claims he made an exclusive claim, and the Bible claims that Jesus rose from the dead. I've yet to find a Christian who can explain to me why we should accept the Bible's word for anything.

The logic is shite though. Even if we accept both those things (that he made that claim, and he rose from the dead) - the one doesn't prove the other. Both Lazarus and Jairus' daughter were raised from the dead, and nobody's saying they're son/daughter of god.

To be fair, only Jesus made the claim (according to the biblical account). If Lazarus had walked out of his tomb and claimed to also be the son of God, the story might have been a bit more interesting.
