The duality of Christ's nature, human and divine, cannot be fully and definitively answered. If we could, we would possess divine minds ourselves. That said, we theologians have made progress at trying to understand the concepts of the Trinity of God and God the Son's role in that Trinitarian doctrine.
In short, Jesus’ human nature could be tempted. He thirsted, hungered, and at times was full of righteous anger. Yet He never sinned. If He did, we are all lost and God is not God. Christ also was God with all of God's attributes, and these two natures existed in a hypostatic (fundamental state) union.
I doubt I can improve upon the discussion of Christ's dual nature that is found at http://www.carm.org/doctrine/2natures.htm
I suggest you start there to dig deeper into this topic. It is not going to be answered to your satisfaction in this Forum.

There is God, The Only One, God the Father! Then the Son is a part of Him that became man to incarnate down here on earth. Jesus the Son of God should not be worshiped, just God the Father !

The Holy Trinity is one God in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. God the Son took human body as Jesus Christ. Therefore, He is at the same time God and human.

It has to do with the concept of the Trinity--that God is Jesus and the Holy Spirit. This could be explained in this way: God is the ocean, Jesus a lake; of the same Divine matter, but not as vast. Humankind is, by contrast, a drop of water--again of the same Divine matter, but just a small bit of it. Other Christians say that Jesus is a unique combination of human and Divine, something that was done only once.
It is interesting to note that not all Christians accept the Trinity; they see Jesus as Son of God in the same way that we are all children of God. (see Uniterian/Universalist Church).

Jesus is the Son of God....But the Father(God), Son (Jesus), and Holy Ghost are 3 in 1 (the Trinity)

No. Jesus is the Son of God. (John10:36) Jehovah is the Most High. (Ps. 83:18) At John 17:3, he is called the only true God.
The trinity is a false doctrine.

Many things in the world makes no sense but we live with it.
I don't believe that Jesus is God; I believe he's the son of God but talking to people who believe otherwise, sometimes I think they have a point. This Trinity theory wrecks my poor brain but there are things that mortal will never understand.
I can't criticize folks for believing in things I can't comprehend...should you?
Let it go amigo!

Jesus is God the Son.
There is one God; three persons
God the Father
God the Son
God the Holy Spirit
Satan likes to get into our heads and tell us that Jesus is not God, but He is. It is beyond our understanding. We can only accept it in faith. It is not something that can be truly understood.

JESUS IS GOD! Anyone who denies that is a liar. The Trinity; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. You want to know how I know this? Well then, let me tell you....
2007 years ago, God sent his one and only son (Jesus Christ) to be born as a baby in a yucky, mucky stable for YOU! And he died by crucifixion (nailed to a wooden cross by the palms and feet and left to hang there till you die) for YOU! After the 3rd day from His death Jesus came to life and now reigns in Heaven on the right hand of God Almighty. His precious blood will wash away your sins forever under one condition. He only asks that you believe that He is God's son and ask Him for forgiveness for your wrongdoing. Once you have done this sincerely, and have made the choice to live for Him, you can now be confident that when you die you will live with Jesus in Heaven forever and ever. Those who reject this wonderful gift shall hear these words spoken to them on the day of the Great White Throne Judgment:
"Depart from Me, ye cursed, into the everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels!"
Then you will be cast into the Lake of Fire. You will live there, night unto day unto night for eternity, with no rest nor water.
Jesus' final words to His followers before He ascended into Heaven were "Behold, I am coming soon."
And He is!
Any day now He will come down from the clouds "with the voice of an archangel and the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first." That means that all the people who trusted in Christ and died will rise again to be with their Lord. When they have, all of us believers who are alive and remain on Earth will be caught up together with Him in the clouds to meet Jesus in the air. Those who have rejected Him will go through a terrible 7-year tribulation filled with terror, God's judgement and death. Even if the Rapture occured at this very moment and you were left behind, it will still not be too late for you to accept Him as your Saviour. You will continue through the Tribulation, but you can rest assured that when you die you shall go to Heaven.
THIS IS NO JOKE!!!!
Please don't wait to recieve this gift; JESUS IS COMING SOON!

Jesis is divine just like God and the Holy Spirit. He has always been the Son of God and He has always been divine. He was God's son, before He came to this earth and He remains God's son, but He is God the son.
