Good point. Jesus was still Jesus before he was incarnate. So Jesus is not defined by having a body. Jesus is not God by any temporal characteristics he now has, like becoming incarnate. He is God, at least in part, because He is eternal.

("In part" meaning there are other characteristics that define Jesus as "fully God".)
