Default Really human?

If God truly became a man, would he have become no longer omni-max?

Right there states you admit God is not omnipotent. If there are things God can't do, like apparently he cannot commit suicide, the he cannot be all powerful. So since I can commit suicide I can actually do something God cannot, is that right?

You have taken the stance of an apologetic and to that it would be difficult to tackle you in an argument, but I can say your concessions go against much of what academic theologians would put forth. (Just read the debates on this site). By placing limitations on your God he becomes completely suspect and open to ridicule and questions / scrutiny. What can't he do? Is there something else out there that can do things he cannot do. If he is limited, then was he created and if so by what and how? Making him more human like would make it even more difficult to explain rationally how he existed before time (or exists outside of time). Apparently he thinks like us, but in order for us to have a thought, time must go by to compose such a thing. I suppose you'll tell me all answers are in the bible. Great...
