” He had to be born of a sinfull person and a sinless God to be both God and man. “

Why?

Well, the statement is a bit weird. If he was God incarnate, then by definition he was sinless God being born into the fallen human race. What other human race was there?

Because he had to be truly man and truly God or he would not have been able to stand in mans place as the sacrificial lamb. He would not have been able to carry the sins of all mankind.
