HOW COULD JESUS REALLY BE GOD?

In a sense the church has never really answered the "how" question, because it never really tried to.

The Christian question has always been "What does it mean to talk about Jesus as God?" And the official answer is that he had two "natures": divinity and humanity. He was fully divine and completely human at the same time.

As for the technicalities of how this works, the church has always considered this (correctly, I'm sure) beyond its competence to answer. Some things are just too big and mysterious for us to fully understand.

Before we decide how Jesus can be God, do we even have much of a clue what it means to say that God is "God"?
