Of course, but in what sense? What does being fully God mean? It doesn't mean the same person. A foot alone is not a yard. And a yard is not a yard if you subtract a foot. Being fully God does not make God one in the identical sense as God is three. God is three in the sense of persons, and one in the sense of substance, power and eternity. So Jesus is not fully God in the sense as being identical with God the Father. He is fully God in the sense of being of the same substance. Beyond that, we can not say.
