Temptation is an internal struggle of man between his lower sinful nature and his Conciousness. Did Jesus have a lower sinful nature too or was he born perfect in the image of God?

The better question is, how can you not spell Christ?

Jesus was born without a sin nature. That would have made it impossible for Him not to sin. That does not mean that He didn't feel the pull of temptation from the promptings of Satan. If fact it was important for His to experience temptation Now as our (mankind's) advocate before God He knows what we went through combating sin in our lives,,, Jim

In the desert Satan tempts Christ thrice.
But Christ is quick to see his trickery.
Christ was tempted externally, but even examining the Bible as literature he is very quick to come up with intelligent answers.
On the cross Christ said, his last words:"My Father, My Father why have you forsaken me!"
That is perhaps one of the most haunted lines in the Bible. I have never known a theologian to even propose they had a definite answer. Who can speculate what any man thinks in their final moment.
I personally believe, this was not a moment of doubt or temptation in God, but he was questioning us.
Would we live up to his expectations that he died for.
It's a jump, but that is how I feel.
Supposedly, Being both fully man and god. He physically felt, pain, desire, etc. But was above them. He suffered, but never caved in.

No. Christ did not have a lower sinful nature-where did you hear of this idea-it is not in the Bible? Christ was a human (like you and me), except he was born sinless. Christ was not fathered by a human, but by the word of God. Therefore, He did not inherit sin as we do. He was tempted in every way such as we are, however He remained sinless through obedience to God. Adam was created sinless, but he "chose" to sin. Jesus was born sinless and He chose not to sin.

yJesus was like us in every thing but sin and as you say he had no lower sinful nature so He was always in control, and that is why the devil gave up and left Jesus after trying to tempt Him in the desert

Jesus cannot be tempted, even tho he was here 'in the flesh' he is perfect and does not have a sinful nature.

Don't know anybody named Crist?
How about using the "check spelling" feature?
Jesus was the only PERFECT person that ever walked on earth.
Hope this helps.

Jesus was perfect. He became fully man but without sin.

Jesus was tempted by satan, with control of the world....garden of gesimini (sp)? He had a selfish nature but had purified it...In mysticism satan is synonymous with temptation of selfishness, it has a different meaning in modern christianity.
