Personally I believe that Jesus was not God while He was on this earth. He was just a human being. The only difference with other humans is that Jesus was born of God, so without sin, just like Adam when God created Adam. But Adam sinned when he was tempted, and Jesus didn't. All human beings after Adam were born in a sinful state, except for Jesus. Fortunately, because of Jesus, we can be born again. Then we get born again sons of God, made righteous like Jesus was righteous, actually the righteousness of God.
Please read the following scripture from the King James version:
Philippians 2
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
