God with us had no need of a flesh physical woman. This would be very much akin to incest. He show us who and what is the greatest temptation. And even after fasting for 40 days and 40 nights, Christ was not tempted. Wonder how many will be able to follow Christ? Flesh bodies would not survive 40 days of fasting, but, in Christ any and all can resist the fiery darts of the want-a-be Jesus.

Bible doesn't say that...In fact, God tell us that:

Heb_4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

Jesus was sinless by choice, not by birth...

Not true. I know people who do this for Lent. For real.
