Incidentally, the great Christian philosopher Kierkegaard believed that the idea of Jesus' being fully man and fully God was a paradox, which had to be accepted on faith. It only works if you say that there were actually two bits of Jesus, two distinct beings, each with different properties. That's not Christian doctrine as far as I'm aware. Christian doctrine holds that there was one man, being, called Jesus, who was simultaneously fully man - and therefore mortal, finite, etc. - and fully God, thus immortal, infinite, etc. This is a logical contradiction.
