if jesus was fully god and fully man, how do you think he was able to be sinless? do you think it's because he was born of a virgin and therefore didn't inherit a sinful nature?

Yes since he was born of a virgin, he didn't inherit a sinful nature but God sent his son in the likeness of sinful flesh, Romans 8:3;
He was tempted in all points as we are, yet without sin.
Heb. 4:15
In the days of his flesh, he offered up both prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to the One able to save Him from death, and He was heard because of His piety. Heb. 5:7

I think that Jesus did sin, but the mists of time have obscured it. Back then, Christians spreading Christianity wanted to have Jesus as a model character; that way, more people would convert. They edited the bible to suit their needs. The bible shouldn't be relied upon much at all, though;
The New Testament was written 30 years after the death of Christ. The entire bible has been passed down through more than 2000 years of being edited and added to by scholars and scribes with their own fantastic, imaginary tales to tell. The bible has been mistranslated into many different foreign languages and back.
And we kill each other today over bronze-age literary fiction. How terrible.

of direction he became able to sin as a guy yet he chosen to no longer. If he were incapable of sin the enticements could have meant no longer something and residing a sinless life could have meant no longer something. Heb 4:14 Seeing then that we've a super intense priest, this is exceeded into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, enable us to hold speedy our occupation. Heb 4:15 For we've not an intense priest which won't be able to be touched with the sensation of our infirmities; yet became in all factors tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Heb 4:sixteen enable us to as a result come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we could obtain mercy, and locate grace to help in time of choose.

Jesus is no different than anybody. He's just more advanced. Not in the sense that we can't, he's just ahead of us, us being wherever each of us is in our spiritual evolution. At a certain point in our growth we become one with spirit and this is so different than being an egomaniacal aggressive hedonist that most people are totally mindblown by such a reality and either deny it completely or ascribe things to such a person that are not true, such as myths of them being born from a virgin or being the same as God. After one attains enlightenment one makes far fewer mistakes because of the level of consciousness one is in now. The sensitivity one is in makes it possible to feel a error at the mental level before one even acts on a thought.

The Blessed Virgin was also sinless. JEsus Christ was born from a holy and spotless Mother. God can't sin and Jesus is God, therefore, Jesus didn't sin. God bless.

Jesus was fully man, not fully god, for his life and more importantly, his sacrifice, to be of any value. What was needed was a perfect human just as Adam was. Adam was not a god, only human. He was a perfect human though. The rest of us humans inherited the sin of Adam & Eve so could not qualify as perfect. Jesus, by having no human father and a human mother could qualify as perfect human.
Once here and alive, he was taught God's Law by loving human mother and step-father who trained him to be a proper adult. This kept him from sinning before his baptism. After baptism and holy spirit given him to regain awareness of what he had been, he chose to keep faithful to God, his Father. His chief desire was to please his Father by bringing Him honor. This is why he went through with his sacrifice. Remember, in the Garden just before he was arrested, he prayed 3 times at least for loop holes out of it but, always he was willing to do what was necessary for God's glory.

Being born as a man made him have temptation, but being born of God made him see through the temptations and have a knowledge of a God, its not that he couldnt sin, because all man can sin, but it is because he didn't want to sin because he knew why he was there.

No one inherits a sinful nature. I think he was sinless because that is how he has always been, it is his desire and behavior. He was tempted but chose not to accept sin, he rejected it.

Well - Jesus is the son of man and the son of God.
He was not God himself aka Trinity doctrine (this will get me some thumbs down...)
He was human and very capable of sinning however he apparently did not.

No becuase he was fully God
God cannot sin
HE CANNOT sin
so therefore Jesus CANNOT sin
although he was tempted he didnt give in to it - which would result to sin
