GOD left HIS Glory on Planet Heaven. (everything that makes the Creator, The Creator)
GOD was born on this Earth.
(being born by a woman is the only Legal way to get into the Earth).
GOD is a Spirit and lived inside of an Earthly Human Body born of a Woman---without all of HIS GLORY (Fire, Light--energy--TREMENDOUS ENERGY)
Ditto.............so simple to me

The hypostatic union is the term used to describe how God the Son, Jesus Christ, took on a human nature, yet remained fully God at the same time. Jesus always had been God (John 8:58; 10:30), but at the incarnation Jesus took on human flesh - He became a human being (John 1:14). The addition of the human nature to the divine nature is Jesus, the God-man. This is the hypostatic union, Jesus Christ, one Person, fully God and fully man.
Jesus' two natures, human and divine, are inseparable. Jesus will forever be the God-man, fully God and fully human, two distinct natures in one Person. Jesus' humanity and divinity are not mixed, but are united without loss of separate identity. Jesus sometimes operated with the limitations of humanity (John 4:6; 19:28) and other times in the power of His deity (John 11:43; Matthew 14:18-21). In both, Jesus' actions were from His one Person. Jesus had two natures, but only one person or personality.
The doctrine of the hypostatic union is an attempt to explain how Jesus could be both God and man at the same time. It is ultimately, though, a doctrine that we are incapable of fully understanding. It is impossible for us to fully understand how God works. We, as finite human beings, should not expect to be able to comprehend an infinite God. Jesus is God’s Son in that He was conceived by the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35). But that does not mean Jesus did not exist before He was conceived. Jesus always has existed (John 8:58; 10:30). When Jesus was conceived, He became a human being in addition to being God (John 1:1,14).
Jesus is both God and man. Jesus has always been God, but He did not become a human being until He was conceived in Mary. Jesus became a human being so that He could identify with us in our struggles (Hebrews 2:17) and, more importantly, so that He could die on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins (Philippians 2:5-11). In summary, the hypostatic union teaches that Jesus is both fully human and fully divine, that there is no mixture or dilution of either nature, and that He is one united Person, forever.

Jesus is the human form of God. There is only one God, but three forms of him called the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Someone at my school gave us all a good analogy.
There are three parts to an egg, the shell, the yoke, and that white stuff that I don't know the name of. They are three different parts, but all of the same one whole.
There are three parts to god too, the father, the son, and the holy spirit, all different parts of the same whole.
God put himself into human form, making him human and god.

God the father is a spirit, an invisible spirit covering all time and space, and can create anything he thinks or says, he created the heavens and the angels and all the souls of his children and then manifested out of the invisible himself as king of heaven and he is called CHRIST, so now we have 2 different manifestation of him, now after Satan rebelled and took 1 third of Gods children he gave them another chance and created the garden of Eden and now each of us has to be born of women and walk in the flesh, and he came as Jesus the same way he created us in his image to tell us of his invisible kingdom and give us his invisible holy spirit to live in us. that's how, same God 3 different manifestations of himself and he will send his spirit into you right now but it only comes in JESUS name! here is how!

Jesus was God's spirit in man's body. Just like your spirit is in your body, and mine is in my body. He was a divine human, the perfect sacrifice, the savior.

When you stand before the throne of God, ask. Of course, you'll have more important things on your mind at that time.
