Theanthropos
The God-man, that is, Christ, as uniting the divine and human natures.

The Jews had a objection to the possibility of a man being God.

John 10:33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

The fourth Council of Chalcedon Creed (451 AD) adopted that Christ was fully man and fully God.

Who is right?

biblebuf:
We know that Jesus did experience human emotions, John 11:35 "Jesus wept".

The book of Luke tells us that Christ Increasing in wisdom and stature, Luke 2:52.

We know that Christ experienced hunger and thirst Luke 4:2 John 4:6, 7.

We know also that Christ became fatigued from John 4:6. And of course Christ experienced injury during his crucifixion.

All human traits.

Another human attribute, He did not possess all knowledge when He was in human form.

Mark 13:32 NAS
"But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.

clark thompson:
Jesus is the Word in the flesh. The Word is God. Jesus is God.

JB Horn:
One other thing that was important here that I don't think anybody is mentioned yet, to fulfill prophecy Christ had to show a human lineage to David and Abraham.

Genesis 22:18 "In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice."

Yet this Human was prophesied that He would be God.

 Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born , unto us a son is given : and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor , The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel ("God with us" ).
