The key thing to keep in mind is that temptation is not sin. This answers the whole dilemma of how Christ could be tempted in every way that we are and yet be without sin.
Satan the tempter specifically worked harder to bring down Jesus than any person who has ever lived. His temptations would have been of stronger and more intense force with Christ than with any of us.
It seems as if the weight of your argument rests on the faulty idea that being tempted makes someone guilty of the sin they were tempted into.
:first: PODIf I choose not to rob a bank am I a bank robber?
If I choose not to lust after a woman, have I committed adultery with her in my heart?
If I choose not to steal, am I a thief?
Where do you guys get this logic from?
