Forest Keeper, would you say that Christ's life was "natural and usual"?

After conception, I would say that His life was very natural, in a physical sense. We know for sure that He sweated, bled, cried tears, thirsted, ate, etc. I have no reason to suppose He didn't have natural bodily functions either. Of course, if the terms are meant to be distinct from each other, His life was other than "usual". :)

In His human nature He sweated, bled, cried, thirsted, ate — and died. But that same Christ did none, felt none and suffered none of these things in His divine nature.

So to say that He was just a "regular" Guy is completely dismissing His divine nature which was with Him from the beginning.
