So, though Satan attempted to entice Jesus with promises of the things Satan would give Him, Jesus never had an inclination or an urge to sin.

And of course you have some scripture to back that up???

I can’t believe we are going down this road speaking of Jesus and Christianity.

Do you really not understand the purpose of the Incarnation at all?

We are separated from God because of our human nature and no sacrifice could bridge that separation until Jesus, the Perfect Sacrifice.

The closer one is to God, the more united to Him one is and the more easily one resists temptation. That is what Jesus meant when He said that if we abide in Him, He will abide in us.

Jesus is the Perfect Sacrifice because He is perfectly united to God and thus, though subjected to temptation, Jesus was incapable of anything other than perfect obedience to God and His will.

Disobedience to God and His will is SIN.

All of Scripture speaks of Jesus’ sinlessness.

2 Cor 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Temptation to sin is not sin. It's simply temptation. When we refuse to yield to the temptation, we have achieved victory over it and not sinned.

It is sin only when we yield and engage.

If someone doesn't believe that Jesus was tempted, then Scripture lied.

Matthew 4:1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

Hebrews 4:15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.
