God man or touch of divine?

Often, we view earthly Jesus as a sort of God-man hybrid, and indeed he was both fully human and fully divine. But how God was he, and how man was he? We believe he was fully God and fully man, so that seems to indicate 100 percent of each, for a total of 200 percent.

Yet, there is only one God, and he is infinite. So, when we think of how much God it would take to make Jesus, we must think of the smallest possible quantity, if divinity could ever be quantified, and even that is too much. Jesus was as he always will be: perfect.
