I find it very hard to imagine that Jesus never had a "crush" or romantic interest in a young woman as He was growing up and a young adult. He was fully human in every way, except that He did not sin. Being human includes sexual drive and romantic thoughts. Why would Jesus not have had those experiences?

I have to agree with bliz here. God came down to Earth to live as a man, and being a human body and mind means dealing with all the not so fun things that come along with it. The only difference is that He did not give into temptations and sin like the rest of us do almost every day.
Which means Jesus probably sprained His ankle playing with the other kids, woke up in a bad mood as a teenager, had crushes on girls, had favorite foods and also foods He absolutely hated, and even went to the bathroom like the rest of us. Probably got smelly like we all do after a few days of not bathing, too
However, since He's God and made man, He knows how to deal with all the stuff that comes along with it, and so managed not to sin.
"falliing in love" is mostly the mystery of the opposite sex. If Jesus was omniscient then there never was or will be a female or male with whom he does not have intimate knowledge, right?[/quote]
You are right!!! Jesus, while on earth, was not omnipotent (all powerful) and omnipresent (not bound by time and space) as He was human by nature, although he had these qualities available at His disposal through the Father in Heaven. However, Jesus was omniscient (all knowing) as he was divine in essence.
Jesus Christ, while He was on this earth was human by nature, but He was divine in essence. This is why He was able to not sin, not fall in love (at least not in a romantic way). He fell inlove with the entire World! That is to say, he was born to love the entire World! Jesus is love!
Whoa! Why was Jesus unable to fall in love - or, to make meaning clearer, have romantic feelings about a woman? He loved the entire world, but that is hardly the same thing as "falling in love" with the entire world. Jesus's feelings toward all humanity was not romantic.
He set aside his ominscence to become incarnate. Without doing so he could never be fully human."falliing in love" is mostly the mystery of the opposite sex. If Jesus was omniscient then there never was or will be a female or male with whom he does not have intimate knowledge, right?
Jesus was fully, 100% human and 100% divine, not a bit of each. This particular misunderstanding probably comes under one of the ancient named "heresies" but I can never remember which is which.Caleb89 said:Jesus Christ, while He was on this earth was human by nature, but He was divine in essence.

However you like to word it, it's inescapable that he put aside aspects of his divine nature.There are several heresies that have risen through the centuries regarding the confusion of the dual natures of Christ. You statement that he put away an aspect of His essence as God would clearly show you've stumbled into the same pitfalls as the fellow you're trying to correct.
Sounds rather gnostic to me. He's quite clearly described as being subject to some ordinary desires (without that, the tempations aren't temptations after all). You make him fully God, but not fully human.People, Jesus Christ is God in the flesh. He is not subject to the desires of the flesh like rommantic affairs.
Our passions and desires are part of our humanity. Without them we're not human and neither would he be.He shares our humanity, and the essence of that, not our passions and desires.
You assume romantic feelings are a blemish, rather than the gift from God that they clearly are.The love of Christ is for all and is pure and without the blimishes of rommantic feelings.
Isn't that EXACTLY what I said?!?!?!?!? .... Just with different wording?!?!?!?!?!?!
i kind have the same idea but i was asking is it fair?Being human includes sexual drive and romantic thoughts. Why would Jesus not have had those experiences? have to agree with bliz here.
