I think it would be better to say that Jesus is fully God and the Father is fully God. Being incarnate doesn't lessen Jesus's "Godness", if you want to put it that way. The second Person and the First Person are not
identical, as
Persons, but they are identical as being the same God, as all three Persons possess the essence, or the being, of God. One being, three Persons.
