So Christ was born with original sin?

This is really very simple, Christ was born without a sinful nature (or original sin - to use a RC term) - like Adam and Eve, but that obviously doesn't mean that you cannot sin or be truly tempted, now does it? Jesus, unlike Adam and Eve, was tempted as we are, yet did not sin.

Of course he could sin if he wanted, God could kill us all if he wanted. But God is 100% all good ergo Jesus was 100% all good, there was never a chance that Jesus would sin because it was not his nature, if he had sinned he would not have been God.

Do you believe that the rest of us are born with a sinful nature? If so, is your understanding of this similar or different from the Catholic doctrine of original sin?
