Jesus Christ had a physical body, while yet still being fully God

This is a declaration from Christian faith, I don’t consider it any more logical than other articles of faith.

In simplest terms, Jesus can not have been god, because Jesus had qualities that god does not, and vice versa. A = B only if A and B are identical in all respects. As an example, Jesus had a definite physical location, and almost certainly pooped. If omnipresent, god exists in all places and all times simultaneously, and thus would find it hard to poop. Therefore Jesus =! god.

Saying something contradictory in another way, or declaring it as part of what you believe, or saying it with force or authority or whatever, none of that changes the fact that it contains a contradiction.

I can already sense the standard response to this… that I ‘just don’t understand’ the whole Jesus/god thing (or for that matter the trinity) but maybe the problem here isn’t me not understanding, maybe the concepts are just incomprehensible because they aren’t, in fact, logical – I’m an intelligent guy, I normally understand things given a little time, but the concept of god and the idea of a man being “fully god” have never threatened to make even the slightest bit of sense to me.
