I'll take your non answers to mean that you cannot reconcile the two different entities, or explain Paul stating that Jesus was a MAN.

Paul was correct, of course.

Jesus of Nazareth is truly God and truly man.

Hence my suggestion that you learn about the Hypostatic Union before you declare a conflict that does not exist.

Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: when He hath said, will He not do it? or when He hath spoken, will He not make it good? (20) Behold, I am bidden to bless; and when He hath blessed, I cannot call it back.

I accidently grabbed an extra verse.

Jesus of Nazareth is truly God and truly man.

God is not half God and half man.

Numbers 23:19
God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: when He hath said, will He not do it? or when He hath spoken, will He not make it good?

Incidentally, that's not what Paul said!

Act 2:22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:

Jesus never says "I am God". He does however, tell us that he is a man, according to John 8:40 anyway. :)

Jhn 8:40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

Jesus knows that God is not a man!

Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: when He hath said, will He not do it? or when He hath spoken, will He not make it good?
