What does it mean, that Jesus "was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin." Hebrews 4:15
Friedrich Rubinstein says, "It is impossible that God could have created humans with a true free will who had not given in to temptation sooner or later. No creation of God could ever have a relationship with God as close as Jesus has, being with God in all eternity before Creation. No creation of God could ever have that amount of love for God as Jesus has."
Was Jesus created? Was his humanity created?
How could Jesus, without a sin nature, be tempted in every way as we are, who have sin natures?
He also had no habit of sin, no "old man", to overcome, so how is his temptation in every way like ours?
