There are many hints in the New Covenant writings that suggest Christ was 100% human. For instance, several passages in Luke suggest that both Christ's bilogical parents were amazed and SURPRISED at the wisdom of their son.
Luk 2:18-19 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. (19) But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
Luk 2:33 And Joseph and his mother marveled at those things which were spoken of him.
Luk 2:48-50 And when they saw Him, they were amazed; and His mother said to Him, "Son, why have You done this to us? Look, Your father and I have sought You anxiously." 49 And He said to them, "Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father's business?" 50 But they did not understand the statement which He spoke to them.
If both Mary and Joseph truly believed that their son was born of G-d's seed through a virgin conception, then why did they seem clueless of what was going on and why were they surprised at his gifts? From the passages above, it seems more likely that Mary pondered whether her son was a prophet vs. deity or G-d in the flesh.
