You are asking this question to those who believe the triune. Other Christian faiths like Mormonism do not believe that Christ was God in the flesh, but that Christ is his literal Son and our Father in Heaven, who is also the literal father of Christ is a completely separate being. It could be no other way.
There are those who say that God is spirit, and while I agree that he most certainly has a spirit, he also must have a body like his Son, Jesus Christ. If God is only spirit, then who is the Holy Ghost and why is there separate mention of him?
Even if someone doesn't believe Joseph Smith saw the Father and the Son standing side by side as he witnessed, the Bible is still quite clear about the nature of the Godhead. They are one in purpose, but they are not the same being.

The Father is God. John 6:27; 1 Peter 1:2.
The Son is God. John 1:1; 18; Titus 2:13.
The Spirit is God. Acts 5:3-4.
It may be described thus, One in Essence yet three distinct
Persons.

Change is change.
The OT God committed and endorsed genocide against Gentiles and Pagans, even going as far as stopping the earth from rotating so that Joshua could kill a few thousand more.
Now Christians believe he has changed his mind about Gentiles and has become a little more Moral in his behavior and attitude towards them.
You are correct that this represents change which contradicts the bible.
If God exists, and the Talmud is his interpreted word, then he remains an immoral deity that sponsors genocide, just like Allah.

Yes, it means he changed into a human for awhile.
Then at the end of his stay on earth he rose into the sky and became a god again.
Another interesting point: At one time when he was a human he said "Except ye eat my flesh." It was his subtle way of calling them maggots, but they didn't get it.
As a consequence we have a whole big holy ritual surrounding that remark, and church folks eat tiny muffins and pretend it's the flesh of Jesus.

'Became' as in took on a form He previously didn't have: flesh and bone. If that means "change," then yes.
God changes all the time. The Church teaches that as we co-create reality with God, reality itself constantly changes, and God "moves from perfection to greater perfection." An oxymoron, to be sure, but true nonetheless.

God is "I AM".....he is the beginning, the middle....and is the one to come".....Jesus...God made flesh, and God's son as well... that had to come through Mary in order to come into existence here on Earth to take on the sins, sickness and disease, of Man on the cross, and in 3 days was raised from the dead.....He fulfillled that purpose for all mankind.

Jesus was "alway". He never became anything. That is the basis of Christian belief.

Sir, as you own forefathers have pre told it, perfection is comming amongst men. and this did happen and Jesus said that he was going to be beside his father. So no change did not happen he (Jesus) even transcended time and visited Abraham prior to his womanly birth. you are close just one more step!.
