DavidM: If Jesus did not inherit the same carnal tendencies, then he was not tempted in all points like we are. Judy: The first Adam was created without carnal tendencies and he was tempted in the garden. DavidM: 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. (Hebrews 4:15 KJV) Judy: Yes he was hot, cold, tired, despised, rejected, a man of sorrows and a man aquainted with the fruit of sin in the lives of those around him. DavidM: Therefore, we must conclude that Jesus Christ was made flesh, human flesh, and therefore was of Adam in all points just as we are of Adam. To this agrees also Romans 8:3: Judy: This is where logic breaks down DavidM and Romans 8:3 does not validate this assumption since a likeness is just that - a likeness... DavidM: For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh. (Romans 8:3 KJV) Judy: Yes, he overcame in the areas where the first Adam failed. The lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the boastful pride of life (see Genesis 3:6) and (Matt 4:1-11) ATST neither he nor the first Adam had an inheritance in sin when the first Adam failed and the 2nd Adam (Jesus) overcame.
