something other than just a human like all other humans

"Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil—and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants. For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people." Heb. 2:14-17 [emphasis added]

Thank you for proving my point. No human is perfect, nor free of sin. Many do constantly strive to better themselves and those around them in order to become more perfect. Few actually succeed in becoming perfect. He was the example for which we strive to emulate. 8>)
