Did Jesus ever stop being God during His life on earth?

No, Jesus never stopped being God during His earthly life. He was just as much God in the womb as after birth and throughout His earthly experience. His deity remained under control, and He did not let it overtake His humanity, but He never ceased being the eternal God.

The teaching explains that He never stopped being God. He was just as much God in the womb as He was after He was born and all the rest of the way up through His earthly experience. His deity was under control: when the baby Jesus played with other children, He did not exert His deity or lord it over them; He acted like an ordinary child. Even in His earthly ministry, He never let His deity overtake His humanity in circumstances that would have benefited Him, but kept them separate: when He was deity, He was deity; when He was man, He was man. He is Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, and never stopped being the eternal God.
