Yes, of course. Since God is eternal, the Son is eternal (everlasting). And this was confirmed even in the prophecy which spoke of His birth as Jesus, Ruler of Israel:
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. (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. (Micah 5:2)
I see, thanks, though I'm not certain why that statement suggests to you that He is not fully human 
He was always/will always be Divine, but He did not become a human being until His Incarnation about 2,000 years ago.
Oh well, there's no reason to take your time to explain further (unless you want to) since we believe the very same thing (and the rest is really just a matter of semantics I guess).
God bless you!

The entire chapter is about Jesus. The Word is Jesus.
John 1:1-5
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shined in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shined in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

Hello again Vicky, what led you to believe that Jesus has always been a human being or "of the flesh" Also, if He actually was a human being from everlasting, how was He formed as one of us in the womb of His mother and then born as a human baby at His Incarnation
Thanks!

That has certainly been true for the last 2,000 years or so (since His "Incarnation"/since He 'took on' flesh for our sakes), but that was not true of Him prior to His Incarnation.

Hebrews 2
14 Since all of these sons and daughters have flesh and blood, Jesus took on flesh and blood to be like them. He did this so that by dying He would destroy the one who had power over death (that is, the devil).
