Can Jesus be God?

James 1:13When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. 15Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the desert, where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry. (Luke 4:1-2)

How can jesus be God then?

Answer: Yes is God, Jesus was tempted by the Devil, just like any other man. He came down from heaven in flesh and blood and suffered the same way we (humans) suffer. However, the big difference is that he prevailed. He did not get tempted by the Devil and the Devil failed. Any other person in his place would have given up after being hungry and thirty for 40 days.
