That's not really where I was parked, Kosta. To me, it appeared that you were saying that he never really BECAME human but just put on a human form. Jesus was 100% fully human. He was also 100% fully God.

With P-Marlowe's concern, the words "assumed" and "put on" do have a connotation of not really becoming. I assume an identity. I'm not really that person, but I am pretending I am.

Your earlier statement about God the Word never being flesh was not clear as to what you meant. It didn't sound like you were asserting His divinity. It sounded like you were denying His humanity.

I specifically used the term God the Word and not Incarnate God the Word to leave no doubt as to what I was referring to. You are welcome to check.

I was merely stating that God the Word, begotten of the Father, is incorporeal. I was not denying Incarnation.

What is God the Word's Current state?

Unchanged, eternal, fully divine and fully human in His natures, each nature being separate, unmixed and unconfused.
