He is limited in his weakness of human capacity. He though is not limited in access to the divine should he need. As Jesus said to us. IF you ask anything in my name I will do it. Jesus would have asked accordingto the will of God. As John said
3Jn 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
in some sense this would be true with humanity as he grew in knowledge and strength he prospered. So his will and the Father's will where in harmony. As I explained.... depends on what you are calling fully God. All the fulness of the deity dwelled in him bodily. Yet he was still a limited man. If you are saying. HEre is the son limited and here is the Father divine and they make up the man JEsus. That makes him not fully God. In part this is true ONLY in the sense that being Jesus is more than just God but man as well. That does not mean he is less as a "being" in his total than God. As the Father resides in that being.

In what sense is he divine or holy but not in the sense of God's attributes of divineness or holiness?

Well in two ways... obedience and his role in God's plan have set him apart. Thus that is "divine" in nature but not necessarily make him God. He has aspects of Godliness by his submission to God's perfection. The footsteps of a righteous man are ordered by the Lord. Thus his walk is divine as obedience is absolute holiness and godliness but still does not make him God but puts him in perfection with God. So in part the flesh was divine but not in the same sense of eternal aspects of being and overall existance.
