Is that impossible?

Pse try and see it this way : God is the Word.
Christ Jesus is the Son of Deeds.
The product of the two is the Holy Ghost.
You are thus asking if word can be deed.
Words come first, then deeds are done, and then the feeling of achievement, (the comforting spirit) or failure.
It is as simple as that ,providing we have the eye to see , and the ear to hear .

Many reasons, three of which are key: the Bible repeatedly calls Him the Son of God, He prays to His Father, and if He was the Father God, then why would He have to pray to Himself, and the Bible makes many mention of Jesus sitting at the right hand of God. These are just some of many reasons why Jesus Christ is not actually God himself as a man. Now of course, Jesus was filled with the Spirit of God, which, after Jesus ascended unto heaven, was also given to all believers who will accept the gift.

If God was Christ, than Christ could not be man. If you believe God answers prayers, make miracles...etc. Then the absense of God while Christ was living would mean there was no god at the time. It is not possible for God to be Christ, if Christ was a man.

Jesus became fully man for a season, and that was done for the sake of all humanity. He was still God, but gave up all the privileges of His position so that He could fulfill His destiny on earth.
Continuing to be a man as God would no longer serve a purpose. All that could be accomplished was accomplished.

Here's the problem:
The nature of man is sinful. The nature of God is perfection. If Christ takes human form, but never sins, then he is only God in human form- and not a true human being. Thus his sacrifice for humanity is void, because he is not really a human being.
If he does sin, on the other hand, then he is human - but no longer divine. In that case, his sacrifice is still for naught because his sinful state makes him unworthy.

There Is LORD God the Almighty Power John 20:17; Matt.22:37-40[the great commandment]; by Jesus, Matt.6:9-13[The Lord's prayer]; by Jesus and John 16:23; Jesus said, ask the Father in his name. John 17:3,5,24; This is life eternal to know thee the only true God and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. Jesus came the first time and he will come the second time Matt.24:3,7,14,15,22,36-38[but only God knows the Day and hour];
He ascended unto God John 3:13-17; Acts 1:9-11; to sit on his right hand until his enemies are on his footstool Psm.66:1,22; Acts 2:31-35[Heb.1:1-13]; Now we learn that the LORD God and Father is calling his son Lord God and he has power from his father to save the world and transform the heavens and the earth back into their original perfection untill all is new Isa.9:6,7; Now if we believe the bible there is only one true LORD God and Matt.22:42-45; and David knew his Lord would sit on the right hand of the LORD until time for him to reign Rev.20:1-6; to save all that is lost.
Jesus saidm John 10:34-36; Ye are called gods unto whom the word of God came.
2Cor.4:3,4[Satan is the god of this world];
So there is the rank of the LORD God, and his only begotton son and savior of the world our Lord God, and we must avoid the power of Satan the god of this world and we must drink in the word of God to be the rank of gods needed to obtain salvation.
For though there be many that are called lords and gods, there is only one God the Father of all, especially our Savior Jesus, when he has saved all to perfect, his Father and God is all in all. 1Cor.15:22-28.
Ther is much meaning in the LORD God, the Lord God, and the gods in the word of God as Jesu was the word that was made flesh and dwelt amoung us, and all the angels as sons of gods are gods that Luke 20:34-36l do not die, but as men, they can sin Jude 6. 2Pet/2:4; they must face the judgement day same as men Heb.9:27; 2Cor.5:10;

Jesus could have been a sort of mortal version of God, or a messenger, or something like that, but because he was mortal (he died after all) he couldn't have been God walking on the Earth.

I believe that God and Christ are 2 seperate entities, not one in the same. Two seperate individuals, but part of the same plan.

Well, Jesus did say several times "I and my Father are one".
Jesus was all God, and all man.

God sent His only begotten Son.... You know, Father, Son, two different Entities.
