Well I don't know all about that, that Jesus is in heaven, fully God and fully man.
But I do know that Jesus didn't spend his ministry going around saying he was God.
And even 60 years after ascending he didn't go around saying it either. The preamble of John is not red letter speaking. The author of John concocted that.
So it was long after he was gone that his followers began to see Jesus as God. And now, we hang on it as if it is true and factual. We're now basing it on "man-made" books, written long after Jesus, by fallible men, 2000 years ago.
