Nowhere in scripture do we read that YHVH is a man. Instead, we find Yah to be immortal who can not die (1 Tim 1:17) and that he can not be tempted (James 1:13). On the other hand, in every instance of the bible we find that Yeshua was 100% man. Even trinitarians will agree that Yeshua is not equal to the Father, but somehow explain in a illogical way that he is G-d. The following verses should clear up any false indications that He was not fully man.
Acts 2: 22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: A MAN APPROVED OF GOD, by whom God did miracles. --Note that G-d is one person, and that He is separated from Yeshua, who is described as a man.
Acts 3: 22For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your BRETHREN, LIKE UNTO ME; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. -- Here Peter quotes Moses, who prophesied of Messiah. Also note the special attention that Moses prophesied that the Messiah would be of your BRETHREN, like unto me.
Acts 13: 22And when He had removed him, He raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also He gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a MAN after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will. 23Of this man’s seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus: -- Here is a parallel between David (the king raised up by G-d), and Yeshua (the saviour raised up by G-d). We are told specifically that David was a man in the same breath that Yeshua was 'of this man's seed'
1 Timothy 2:1 5For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. One God, one mediator between God and men - the MAN Christ Jesus. -- Note that G-d is one person, the mediator is another person, and that this mediator is a MAN.
