O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of God aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) an apostle of God, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Him: so bel ieve in God and His apostles. Say not "Trinity" : desist: it will be better for you: for God is one God: Glory be to Him: (far exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is God as a Disposer of a ffairs.
4:171

You are in error because you dont know the doctrine of the trinity.
It doesnt teach that "God became a man." Gods essence isnt something that can be transformed into matter. That would be like asking you to become electricity or vice versa.
The trinity teaches that Jesus was 100% God, 100% man. His deity did not transform because it is eternal and cannot. His body however was just a temporary housing.

But that's not what happened. God did not become human. As John 3:17 says: "For God sent forth his Son into the world."
So who was it who came to earth? God or his Son? God's Son.
Who did Gabriel tell Mary what her child would be called? God or God's Son? Luke 1:35 says: "Holy spirit will come upon you, and power of the Most High will overshadow you. For that reason also what is born will be called holy, God’s Son."
Where in the Bible does it say that Jesus had two natures? NOWHERE!

These messages are done by Rabbi Tovia Singer, explaining from the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) that G-d could not have come in a human form, not because he could not do it, but because He does not want to and made it clear from His Words.
I will list some verses that Christians choose to ignore as G-d is very clear about His position and Christianity's obsession of Making a man a G-d is not Biblical at all.
List of Bible References:

Deuteronomy 4:11-12
You came near and stood at the foot of the mountain while it blazed with fire to the very heavens, with black clouds and deep darkness. Then the L-rd spoke to you out of the fire. You heard the sound of words but saw no image; there was only a voice.

Isaiah 44:6-8
This is what the L-rd says, Israel's King and Redeemer, the L-rd Almighty, "I am the first and I am the last; apart from Me there is no G-d! Who then is like Me? Let him proclaim it. Let him declare it and lay it out before Me . . . . Do not tremble, do not be afraid. Did I not proclaim this and foretell it long ago? You are My witnesses. Is there any G-d besides Me? No, there is no other Rock; I know not one."
Isaiah 44:24
Thus said the L-rd, your Redeemer, the One who formed you from the womb, "I am the L-rd Who makes everything, Who stretched forth the heavens alone, Who spread out the earth by Myself."
Isaiah 45:5-6
I am the L-rd, and there is no other; besides Me there is no G-d . . . . I will strengthen you . . . in order that they know from the shining of the sun and from the west that there is no one besides Me; I am the L-rd and there is no other!
Isaiah 45:21-22
. . . Who announced this from before, who declared it from the distant past? Is it not I, the L-rd, and there is no G-d apart from Me, a righteous G-d and a Savior; there is none but Me. Turn to Me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am G-d, and there is no other!

dancing around the issue you missed the glory
God entered a body of flesh and lived here among us....Healing, teaching, fellowshiping and did so so that he could die for your sins. God needed a perfect sacrifice and when there was no other he offered himself so you could be saved. Rejoice in the fact that the creator cares for you enough to expirence death, and hell for you
he defeated death so you dont have to have eternal death, he endured hell so you wouldn' t have to.
you try to understand God making him less than he is.
Turn from your sin and turn to him

"The world has at no time beheld God."
"God dwells in the heaven of the heavens."
"Jesus said, 'I came forth from my Father who sent me.' "
In the book of Revelation, the angels who are pouring out God's final judgments on the earth are said to be standing by the "glassy sea" that is in front of God's throne.

True but if ones assumes form on the physical plane, one also assumes physical characteristics. God did not need to do this, so sent another close to him to do it for specific purposes.:)

Jesus is true God and true man, possessing his divine spirit, his own human body and his very own human soul.
This posed no particular problem for God.

You are right - I couldn't be a car and human at the same time.
But GOD can be both fully divine and fully human.
That's what we call JESUS!
Good question!!

Its simple. The Creator cannot be in his own creation. Because if he is then then he was created.
