No—Jesus never ceased to be God at any point during His earthly life.
Les Feldick repeatedly stresses that Jesus was the Eternal Creator God from eternity past to eternity future. He was God in the womb, in the manger, during His growing-up years, throughout His ministry, and after His resurrection. His deity and humanity never interfered with each other, but His deity was never set aside.
John 1:1 — This verse directly answers the question by stating that the Word was God from the beginning.
Isaiah 9:6 — This prophecy calls the child born to us 'The mighty God, The everlasting Father,' showing His deity from birth.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1). John 1:3 adds, "All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made." Christ is the Eternal Creator, not a being who came into existence at Bethlehem. Isaiah 9:6 speaks of the child to be born: "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." Jesus Himself said, "I and my Father are one" (John 10:30). When Philip asked to see the Father, Jesus answered, "Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father" (John 14:9). First Corinthians 15:45 also describes the last Adam as "a quickening spirit." In Revelation 22:13, Jesus says, "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last."
Les Feldick is emphatic: Jesus never stopped being God. He says "He was God in the womb, He was God in the manger, He was God in those growing up years, He was God when He began His ministry," and He was certainly God after His resurrection. Les calls those who refuse the deity of Christ cults, noting that the Book of Hebrews implies He was still God even in the womb. Les also teaches that during His earthly life Jesus did not let His deity interfere with His humanity. When He was tired or exhausted, He could have let His deity rejuvenate Him, but instead He rested and slept. Jesus was total God and total man, and the two never crossed over. Jesus of Nazareth was the manifestation in the flesh of the Creator God of Genesis 1, not someone who first became God at Bethlehem.
Les Feldick teaches that Jesus of Nazareth was the manifestation in the flesh of the Creator God of Genesis 1. Some people mistakenly think Jesus never amounted to anything until He was born at Bethlehem, but Les points to John 1, where the Word was with God and was God, and all things were made by Him. He says Jesus was just as much God as God the Father or God the Spirit, and the triune Godhead was complete and in absolute consensus.
Les says that at no given time when Jesus was operating in the human did He let His deity interfere with that humanity. When He became tired or exhausted, He could have let the deity part of Him overtake and rejuvenate Him, but instead He rested and slept. Jesus was total God and total man, and the two never crossed over.
Isaiah's prophecy calls the child to be born "The mighty God, The everlasting Father." Les says this includes the same truth Jesus spoke when He told Philip that seeing Him was seeing the Father. Jesus is also the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, spanning eternity past to eternity future.
Eternal Alpha and Omega
Les cites Jesus' own words 'I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end' to show He reaches from eternity past to eternity future.
Jesus Never Stopped Being God
Les states plainly that Jesus never stopped being God, and that Hebrews implies He was still God even in the womb.
God in the Womb, Manger, and Growing Years
Les affirms Jesus was God in the womb, in the manger, in His growing-up years, and all through His ministry; His miracles proved He was the Eternal God.
Deity Not Interfering with Humanity
Les explains that when Jesus was tired or exhausted, He could have let His deity rejuvenate Him, but instead He rested and slept, keeping His humanity and deity separate.
The God-Man Who Never Crossed Over
Les teaches that Jesus was total God and total man, and the two never crossed over; He never let the God side take over in human situations.
The Word at Creation
Les shows from John 1 that the triune Godhead was complete and all things were made by the Word.
Isaiah's Prophecy of Mighty God
Les points to Isaiah's prophecy that the promised child would be called 'The mighty God,' identifying Jesus as the preexistent Creator God.
Manifestation of the Creator God
Les says Jesus of Nazareth was the manifestation in the flesh of the Creator God of Genesis 1, not someone who first became God at Bethlehem.
John 1:1: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Shows Christ's eternal existence and deity with the Father before creation.
John 1:3: All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Demonstrates that the Word is the Creator of all things.
Isaiah 9:6: For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Prophecy that the child born to Israel would be called 'The mighty God, The everlasting Father.'
John 10:30: I and my Father are one.
Jesus' own claim to unity with the Father.
John 14:9: Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
Jesus tells Philip that seeing Him is seeing the Father.
1 Corinthians 15:45: And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
Describes the last Adam, Jesus Christ, as a life-giving Spirit, yet Les notes He never stopped being God.
Revelation 22:13: I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
Jesus declares Himself to be the beginning and the end, spanning all of eternity.

Les teaches that Jesus never let His deity interfere with His humanity. When He was tired, He could have let His deity rejuvenate Him, but instead He rested and slept.
Yes. Les says Jesus of Nazareth was the manifestation in the flesh of the Creator God of Genesis 1. He did not first become God at Bethlehem.
