Or to put it differently: what does it mean saying that Jesus is God ? My understanding is that Jesus was God before getting a human body (human birth), but I can't make sense of the relationship between Jesus man / Jesus God / The Father. Some questions arise: 1. If Jesus was fully man and fully God, means did he have a human mind and human soul plus a Godly mind and soul ? Basically, Jesus-God has inhabited a human body ? 2. Are we talking about 2 different personalities / wills controlling 1 body, so could for example Human Jesus decide to go left and God Jesus to walk the opposite direction, and what would happen in that case ? 3. Why is it said that God became flesh ? How does that phrasing not imply that God has altered/lost His divine attributes ? Or is it that God has chosen to abstain from fully expressing his attributes during the time/circumstances of Jesus' life ? Also, my understanding is that God didn't "become" anything, but was joined to a human in some way that I'm trying to figure out here. 4. It is said that Jesus came as a servant. Was / Is he Father's servant outside of his earthly life ? 5. So what does the dual God-man nature *mean* ? I can't see the concept "happening" or beling applied anywhere in Jesus' teachings/ life. My problem is that if you have a "concept", that "concept" should be reflected/represented somewhere. For example, a "pencil" can be shown as an object that you can hold and write with. If you can't do that, the only result of the concept is to confuse one's mind ... The only thing I see is that Jesus is following Father's will and he receives from the Father the powers he needs to put that into practice. But you don't need a God-man duality for that, a very good prophet would do the same.
