Seems we can say it two ways...
One Human being who was also God, though God also existed beyond this mode.
Or
One God defined as a "being" who existed in simultaneous modes.

If people can compartmentalize the topic then it's easier to see.
God is a person, like you and I, in that He is a rational, thinking, intelligent being, yet of much much more "power" than us.
God though, as a person, has a Divine nature. It's at the incarnation that Person picked up a human nature too and became in practical terms, a human being.
The one Divine Spirit that makes the Father "Divine" unifies both so that the Son is not separated from the Father. We can use the terms modes or manifestations or forms
