Jesus is Fully Man and Fully God?

Some theists say this. If you agree with that statement, what the heck do you mean by it? Because to me, it makes as much sense as one animal being "fully hippo" and "fully giraffe."

If 100% of Jesus is Man, that means none of Jesus isn't Man. Which means that the 'God' part is a mere attribute of Man... like brown hair, or 'male.'

Or to look at it another way, if Jesus is 100% God or divine or whatever, then Jesus would have no human limitations... Jesus would have all the power of God. But if that were the case Jesus wouldn't be fully human, since humans do not have all the power of God.

Anyone want to try to clear this up for me?

Yes

Jesus is Fully Man and Fully God?

The Bible says Jesus emptied himself of all his godly authority to become man. He lived, died, was buried, and was risen the third day from the grave by God. The Bible never states that Jesus then became God again, it does say that he (Jesus) is a High Priest after the order of Melchisedec. (Read Hebrews, the book in the Bible, to confirm this.) Read your Bible more and listen to men less.

III. The Only Son of God

441 In the Old Testament, "son of God" is a title given to the angels, the Chosen People, the children of Israel, and their kings. It signifies an adoptive sonship that establishes a relationship of particular intimacy between God and his creature. When the promised Messiah-King is called "son of God," it does not necessarily imply that he was more than human, according to the literal meaning of these texts. Those who called Jesus "son of God," as the Messiah of Israel, perhaps meant nothing more than this.

442 Such is not the case for Simon Peter when he confesses Jesus as "the Christ, the Son of the living God," for Jesus responds solemnly: "Flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven." Similarly Paul will write, regarding his conversion on the road to Damascus, "When he who had set me apart before I was born, and had called me through his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son to me, in order that I might preach him among the Gentiles. . . ." "And in the synagogues immediately [Paul] proclaimed Jesus, saying, 閳ユガe is the Son of God.'" From the beginning this acknowledgment of Christ's divine sonship will be the center of the apostolic faith, first professed by Peter as the Church's foundation.

443 Peter could recognize the transcendent character of the Messiah's divine sonship because Jesus had clearly allowed it to be so understood. To his accusers' question before the Sanhedrin, "Are you the Son of God, then?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am." Well before this, Jesus referred to himself as "the Son" who knows the Father, as distinct from the "servants" God had earlier sent to his people; he is superior even to the angels. He distinguished his sonship from that of his disciples by never saying "our Father," except to command them: "You, then, pray like this: 閳ユサur Father,'" and he emphasized this distinction, saying "my Father and your Father."

444 The Gospels report that at two solemn moments, the Baptism and the Transfiguration of Christ, the voice of the Father designates Jesus his "beloved Son." Jesus calls himself the "only Son of God," and by this title affirms his eternal preexistence. He asks for faith in "the name of the only Son of God." In the centurion's exclamation before the crucified Christ, "Truly this man was the Son of God," that Christian confession is already heard. Only in the Paschal mystery can the believer give the title "Son of God" its full meaning.

445 After his Resurrection, Jesus' divine sonship becomes manifest in the power of his glorified humanity. He was "designated Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his Resurrection from the dead." The apostles can confess: "We have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth."

Jesus is Fully Man and Fully God?

it still seems like its fair to compare it to being FULLY a mother and FULLY a daughter. perhaps the two ideas are not mutually exclusive.

but check this out. Plato had this conception of the soul as existing in three disinct parts. Reason-Spirit-Appetite. you can equate them to Mind-Will-Body. God the father has no body and no appetite, but has Mind and Will. Jesus's soul could have been made up by his own body or appetite, and the Mind and Spirit of the father. Part man part divine
