Is it a sin to be tempted? I think the answer is no.
What is temptation anyway? is it not a desire to do something? I think the answer is yes,
So Jesus was tempted. Therefore there arose in him (possibly only, in his flesh and not spirit). This means that he had to fight the desire to have what Satan showed him.
True?
Do you think that when God emptied himself and became man, that he desired to return to his rightful place above all creation, ruling, that tempted him?

So you think that the devil attempted to tempt him, but Christ was not tempted?
Hebrews 4:15 contradicts that notion

Jesus was without sin and Jesus was tempted so I'm gonna say being tempted isn't a sin.

The devil tempted the Lord but lets face it Jesus new the devil could only give him things that man made. There wasn't one thing the devil offered Jesus that he couldn't get himself so as for tempted I hardly think so Jesus has eternal life man can't make that. Money, Power, Women, and stuff like that only have a value to man that is why man made it valuable not Jesus he new that was just stuff and nothing but stuff

When the heck did that happen?. The god becoming man part, I know the temptation of Christ part. What bible did you get that from? Or was it from the New York Times?
