Jesus became sin. You do know that?

2nd Cor 5:21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
Yes, so did he feel or think like sinning. Because how else could he be tempted/tested

You tell me.

That's the whole point...and you question it. Jesus NEVER sinned....that's why Jesus could be the innocent atoning sacrifice.

This situation

That I'm trying to understand the human experience Jesus underwent for him to understand my sin.

And you are giving me rudimentary Christian answers.
OK. Lets start here...Jesus is God incarnate. Does God not understand your sin?
....and as I posted earlier Jesus became sin.

In what way did he become sin, did he become the worst of sinners?

Let me get this right in my head.

Jesus never sinned right? But he became sin.

So on what level did Jesus interact with the processes of sin nature for him to understand sin and sinners.

Your OP misunderstands the phrase "in all points tempted". It doesn't mean he was tempted by every sin that mankind indulges, but that He was tempted at every point throughout His life, and that he was tempted just like we are.

To answer your real question, though... Jesus felt the pull of sin, and perhaps had thoughts of sinning cross His mind, but He never gave in to sin and He never indulged in fantasizing about doing sin.

IMPUTATION.....our sins were imputated to Jesus.

Jesus was tempted. That is, satan attempted to test Jesus. Temptation is the strong urge to do something. Being tempted would be an external force trying to test a person. Trying to urge the person to do something. A being tempted would not mean that the person at receiving end is having a strong urge. So Jesus never sinned and did not have a strong urge to sin as well.

Is that what you're saying.

Let me ask a hypothetical question. Was Jesus ever tempted by homosexuality? Think before you answer

Even being tempted in the way your describing is sinful. You can't be tempted(desire) to be a homosexual without even those thoughts being sinful, because that implies you have some form of desire to be a homosexual.

Jesus didn't and doesn't have sinful desires.

What it meant by tempted, is that he was presented with different opportunities to sin by an outside force. It means a test, to test. For example, when Satan showed Jesus all the kingdoms, Satan's presentation was Satan's tempting Jesus. Tempting in this sense doesn't mean like, when a person dangles a chocolate bar in front of a person on a diet, it means testing with a choice of one or the other.

Thus Satan tempted Jesus to sin (not that Jesus was tempted(desired) to sin, but was tested by Satan), but he did not sin.

Incase you say I'm making this up, replace the word tempt with test in all the verses in the Bible that use tempt. You'll see what I'm saying.

Jesus turned his back on Jesus, I do that to myself all the time.

It's called shooting yourself in the foot.

So Jesus didn't feel the weight of sin pounding on him, so what did he feel and think concerning sin.
