Human nature has sinful nature in it. There is no one good, no, not one. We are sinful by birth and sinners by actions. Jesus was born without the sinful nature we all are born. He was pure and perfect from conception.

From the book The Crucifixion: The compassion and love that was Jesus comes through clearly
when we learn that we do not need to seek forgiveness, for we are not condemned; we do not need
to be saved, for we can never be lost; we do not need to seek eternal life, for that is what we are.
The truth is there is only One Being and we are all part of it.

Mankind is born into sin when they are born on this earth. Jesus who is God the Son and God in the form of man is still God. He was tempted as we are and experienced every emotion and temptation know to man. The difference is he did not sin, he did not fail, he remained perfect to the end. Then, he rose again and returned to be with the Father.

Human like you and me but with the spirit of God.God and Jesus always shared the same spirit.

No, it is not the same. Emanuel means " God, with us". He was perfect from birth... the emaculate birth. He walked in the flesh to show us how to do it proper. He also wouldn't ask us to do something He wasn't willing to do Himself. He was human like you and I but, without sin.

Jesus was a son of a God, that should stand for something. I agree that on some level Jesus must of felt what humans do (both good and bad) considering the fact that he was born to human woman, but driven by such a strong force as God, he probably had to resist many temptations to be bad.

I am not Christian myself,but I respect most Christians-provided they walk the walk.What I do NOT respect is someone like Bush,who USES peoples religious convictions to further a decidedly UN-Christian agenda of control,greed,corruption and devastation.As far a Jesus Christ is concerned,I think the history and controversy around him are fascinating.I believe he WAS a human being.I also believe he was a great spiritual leader.The best book I have read on him to date (and I've read quite a few) is called "The Hidden Gospel" by Neil Douglas-Klotz.Dr.Klotz was department head of Comparative Spirituality at Holy Names College in California.His approach to the teachings of Christ is to shed light on his words by working from the Aramaic records of Jesus words.(this is the language Historical Jeshua (Jesus) actually spoke.This books sheds a lot of light,as many modern translations fail to capture the full richness of the Gospel due to cultural and linguiatic ignorance.Aramaic,like ancient Hebrew and Arabic,which are both descended from it,is a wonderfully complex yet ambiguous language which has a depth of meaning beyond what we are used to in modern English.His approach is that of a respectful and very spiritual scholar.I highly recommend his book to ANYONE interested in Spirituality,but especially to Christians who owe it to themselves to get a more direct translation than the very one dimensional ones commonly available.

I completely agree with Echoscott that the question is flawed to begin with and precisely for the same point that it misundertands what evil is. God created man and declared him to be very good. Adam was tempted with evil and succumbed to it and Jesus was tempted with evil and did not succumb to it. I agree that Jesus was fully God and fully man, but it is unorthodox to makes such statements as his divine nature helped him out. There was not any cheating going on and his divinity did not interfere with his humanity or vice versa. This is the error of docesticism and the opposite, the one that IJR committs is the error of Nestorianism. IJR is right that Jesus was a man and he did live his life on earth as a man. He as God, however, received worship and forgave sin here on earth. When it comes to overcoming sin and evil, however, he did this as man just like you and I.

When God became incarnate in the form of Jesus, he was fully divine and fully human at the same time. Jesus had to experience all the cravings of the flesh, but at the same time, He was God and perfect. God walked a mile in our shoes to break the power of sin and death over us. He died on the cross to take our place. He rose again to give us new life. That says to me that His humanity while embodied in the flesh is the same as ours, just that his divine nature helped him overcome our human failings. That was essential to our salvation.

Jesus supposedly possessed the same emotions and sensibilities as other human beings, but He was supposed to be on a higher plane, so was not prey to the petty jealousies and meannesses that make up a huge part of the average Joe or Josephine's daily existence

There is an inherent flaw in the way the question is worded. It makes a tremendous assumption: Please read carefully before judging this. It states that human nature has good and evil in it. Here is the difficulty. I have not read any authoritative work that states that. It is a psychological assumption. Has the human race committed acts of evil and good? Yes, that is a fact. Is evil part of human nature? That depends on the definition of evil. As a Christian I believe in original sin. That means that we are a fallen race who because of disobedience have a sin nature built in. That does not mean we are predisposed to be Evil. Evil is a state of being. Original sin is a disposition to mess up. That being stated: Yes, according to the Bible ( we need a common reference point somewhere), Jesus was fully human. He understood the pull of the sin nature on our being. BUT HE NEVER GAVE IN TO IT. If he did, then we have no hope. He merely paid for his own sins. The Bible states that he did not give in, but died sinlessly. Taking our place instead. So yes, he could still be fully human and fully God. And God not be evil. Flawed question. I give it a 1 star.

Sure. . .why not? As far as I know, Yeshua only lost his temper once- he got mad at the money-changers in the temple and displayed anger (so the interpretation goes) this seems to suggest a glipse at the prophet's humanity juxtaposed against his divinity.

Human nature comprises of innocence and corruption,indeed if Jesus assumed a human body and a human soul by all means he would partake in the pangs of life,He would endure all our emotions,temptations,and hardships and since He was perfect man He would feel these falcuties and attributes to a human-being more accutely.His senses were magnified meaning the five senses suffered no ailment and were in perfect function,so if a person were to strike Him,He would feel ten times the impact.So all in all He endured a lot more than we will ever know...

He could be tempted like any man could - and he was, in fact (KJV, in all points tempted like we are). Satan would not have tried to get him to sin otherwise. Satan isn't a person who wastes his time! The difference is that Christ never once gave in to sin.

The way I've been told is, that God couldn't fathom what it was like trying to be Holy inside a human's body, so he sent Jesus down to be born of a woman, so he could see what kind of temptations humans face, on a daily basis. EDIT: There was other humans as pure as Jesus; Adam and Eve, only they gave into temptation.

Absolutely. Nobody 'really' knows anything about the man who started (if he really did) a religion. Come on, if there's anything we all know about human beings is we ALL lie and manipulate to gain an advantage. Even if it's something simple and nobody gets hurt. Consider the grape vine game, put several people in a circle and say something, by the time it gets to the end it changes. Everyone has their own viewpoint and opinion. So, who knows what kind of person Jesus was....and quite frankly, who cares! Why have so many people put stock in a single human being that lived so long ago that it's impossible to know anything about his origin or intent.

Yes and no. No, because Jesus was without sin. It is speculated that it probably has something to do with genetics - the sin nature is passed on through the male side. So part of Jesus Genetic makeup was from the Father, which means that He inherited God's morality. On the other hand, yes, Jesus did have a human nature which was similar to ours but without the sin. In Hebrews, it speaks of Jesus being the great High Priest, because He understands human weakness and suffering, because He was in a human body before. Since He was tempted, He can help those who are being tempted. Although Jesus' human nature had no sin in it, it still got depressed, sad, probably got in bad moods, moods where it didn't feel like working and was capable of being tempted. But what makes Jesus so remarkable was the fact that although He had those human limitations, His Spirit was so powerful, He could be in perfect control of His human desires to the point that it was impossible for Him to give into temptation. But the temptation may have been there. I'm sure Jesus was tempted to turn those stones into bread when He was in the desert, and I'm sure He was even tempted to be attracted to women (although that was forbidden for Him), but He was strong enough not to give into those temptations. Temptation doesn't necessarily mean that you are evil, it means that your human nature wants something that wouldn't be good or suitable for it at a particular time. Because it wasn't wrong for Jesus to want to eat bread when He was tempted, it was just not the right time to eat bread then. So He had to resist that temptation.

I don't know and I don't really care. If he had a human nature, then He must've been good AND evil.

The way I understand it - his humanity was the same as anyone else - it's just that he did not give in to it. If he somehow had a supernatural ability to overcome sin or resist temptation then where's the challenge?
