If Jesus is supposed to be both "God" and "Man." How is that possible? To error is to be human, and an error could be a sin. Therefore, did jesus be like us completely and sin? If he didn't, then he didn't know guilt and thus could not feel the whole range of emotions.

This is an honest question I've been struggling through. How am I supposed to believe that God really became human if he didn't assume all the traits of such?

Adam and Eve were humans before the fall, when they were created without sin, as God intended them to be. In the same way, Jesus (although not created) is as humans were intended to be. Therefore, sin and error is not a requisite to having a human person.
In regards to guilt, Jesus may have experienced guilt. For one thing, before the crucifixion, Jesus speaks of the great sorrow in His heart because He is taking on His shoulders the sins of the world - He may be experiencing the guilt of the people who He came to save. Also, Jesus may have accidentally tracked dirt into the house when He was a boy. It isn't a sin, but He still may have felt guilty because His mother, Mary, had to clean it up. So we don't know that Jesus never experienced guilt. Either way, He was a human person with a divine nature.

Hebrews 5:15: For we have not a high preist which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are yet without sin.
He knows our struggles. He knows our temptations. Yet, he overcame the temptations. If he sinned then his sacrifice would have been meaningless.

God knew no sin. Triune God God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit but one God.

Jesus was open to temptation, like regular folks, but no, he did not sin. He did know the frustration of being human.

he was the son fo god made into flesh so he was man below the angels while a man and made sinless, but capable of sin, but he never sinned and so we are now able to redeem ourselves from the fall of man with his blood and repentence from sin.

John 10:30 I and my Father are one.
It's true, so get over it.

"Sins" were creatd by Christians so that they could control each other.
