I think it would help to define what we mean by "being fully". In my opinion, our character defines who we are, which is something God didn't lose when he became a man. His direction, desires, and identity remained the same. Because he denied the right to the power and priveleges of being God can't make Jesus any less God in the flesh, since by his nature he had the authority to demand anything he wanted at any time.
Matthew 26:53
Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?
If Jesus at any one point discontinued being fully God, he wouldn't be God ever.
Isaiah 43:
[sup]10[/sup] “You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD,
“and my servant whom I have chosen,
so that you may know and believe me
and understand that I am he.
Before me no god was formed,
nor will there be one after me.
Then we need to discuss what it means for God to be fully himself. What does it mean for any of us to be who we are? What is at our core, what about us can be changed/challenged that wouldn't affect our true identity?
