Where was Jesus imperfect, humble????
Maybe you don't understand what imperfect means.
Humans were once perfect, Adam had to be pefect for all the angels to bow to him.
I believe Jesus was sinless, but not perfect because he is a creation of God, and only God is perfect in all ways.
Here's the bigger question, now do you believe that God is capable of coming to earth as a human being????
I'm not asking you if God would or wouldn't transcend to earth, I want to know if He is capable of doing such a thing.
Do I believe God is capable of coming to earth as a human being? In as much as I believe God could create a square circle. Do you think God can create a four sided circle? Your question doesn't compute because you are asking whether God can change His Godly attributes to ones that are less perfect and bound by other creations of His such as space and time and decay. God is perfect in all ways, to change Him by trying to combine His essence with that of a human, or contain His essence within a human, is to make Him no longer perfect.

"Could God commit suicide" the answer is that the question is meaningless. "Can" only connects with things that are in principle possible.
It's as meaningless as asking "Could God create a square circle?" "Could God create a four sided triangle".
"Could God create Himself in the womb of Mary?" The answer is no, because it's impossible that God could lose any of his perfections, God is perfect, if he were to lose any of His perfections, He would no longer be God, which is impossible since that contradicts God's eternality.
A person who says "Could God create a square circle?" does not know what he means, you ask him what he means and he doesn't really know what he means, it's just a jumble of words. Similarly "God become man" is a contradiction in terms, it would either be a God or a man, two essences can't be one and the same thing.
Do I believe God can do anything and everything that is possible? Yes. Is a divine human possible? No, because the question is meaningless. Is an incarnated God possible? No, because again the question being asked is not coherent. Is an imperfect God possible? No, by the very definition of the essence of a perfect God. Is a square circle possible? You tell me.
