He is born with the same nature. He just isn't fallen.How could Christ be 100% MAN and not be born with the same nature that MEN are born with?
Heb 4:15 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.
It seems to me that it is not the temptation that is "sin", but the giving in to the temptation that results in sin.
Heb 2:14-15 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
Rev 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
Christ overcame the flesh (the carnal mind) so that we can overcome also (through Him). He comes to us and does IN US what He accomplished IN HIMSELF - so that AS HE IS SO ARE WE.
Would you disagree?
We weren't made fallen, God did not create us as fallen ppl- sin did that.
Jesus is not born in sin- we are, so we inherit the fallen nature. Jesus doesn't.
His nature is what ours was originally, what it would be if Adam had not fallen. What it will be again in heaven.
BUT we should not mope about it becuase through Christ we have a even better deal, which is redemption to know the love and mery of God to save us in the way he did.
