[Cronos]

"Clearly, if he did not have a 'sin nature', He was not "tempted in every way, just as we are". " --> a very good point that I did not notice. The marvellous thing about Christ was that He was one of us -- a human being, completely, utterly, with all our failings and with all our temptations. Yet, He was not one of us -- a complete conundrum.

Christ was born like one of us, yet was sinless. He became sin and died a physical death. It's a wonder of God.

"The marvelous thing about Christ was that He was one of us -- a human being, completely, utterly, with all our failings and with all our temptations. Yet, He was not one of us -- a complete conundrum."

He is God and man, fully both at the same time yet able to manifest each separately.

Much like wave-particle duality.
