Did Jesus give up something of his divinity when he took on flesh?

Quite the opposite, Dr. Duby believes that Jesus' taking on flesh in the incarnation was an "emptying not by subtraction, but by addition, by Jesus taking on something that is lowly and so unlike the high and majestic nature of God in which he already existed from eternity."

Watch this video to understand better how in the incarnation Jesus remained fully God and fit to save us.
