The Doctrine of the Holy Trinity?

The Doctrine of the Holy Trinity?
Hi All,

I was reading through a number of threads/posts regarding the ntaure and existence of God (primarily the Christian God). Something struck me about the recurring definition I have seen and it's relation to the Doctrine of the Trinity of God.

If as I have heard, God is non-temporal and super-natural exclusively and Jesus is God (as the doctrine goes). Does not the fact that Jesus was at some point natural (as he existed in our world in the eys of christianity) contradict the definition of God laid out by christians? Obviously if God (part of God?) became natural he invalidates this description. Or am I missing something?

I appreciate that I may be missing some subtleties to the Trinity here but this has been bugging me for a while now.

Any Ideas?
