Yes Jesus had a different nature than Adam.

Jesus was fully man, and also fully God.

Adam was fully man, but not God at all.

Jesus did not sin, nor did He have sin in His heart.

Jesus DID indeed have another nature, that nature was righteousness.

God cannot be anything else but righteous.

First of all, "sinfulness" and "righteousness" cannot be ascribed to things like substances or natures. Sin and righteousness pertain only to actions (including thought) which are consciousnly chosen.

Yes Jesus had a different nature than Adam.

I did not ask about the relationship of Jesus nature to Adam's because it is problematic. Adam could have had two different natures according to Calvinists and other Augustinians, before and after the fall.

Jesus was fully man, and also fully God.

Amen!

Adam was fully man, but not God at all.

Ah, well, yeah, but, what's the point?

Jesus did not sin, nor did He have sin in His heart.

I see you missed the entire point of my question.

The question is only about Jesus Human nature (you did say "Jesus was fully man, and also fully God.") My question is about the "fully man," aspect only. Was Jesus human nature different than any other man's human nature, such as Paul's, or the writer of Hebrews, or yours, or mine?
