If not, how can anyone say he was really human? He missed out on an entire range of human behavior.

Hebrews 4: 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are -- yet was without sin.
It is not experiencing everything in the range of human behavior that makes us human. Think about it this way: If a baby is born and then dies soon after, does that mean that the baby was not human because he missed out on an entire range of human behavior? If one person chooses to give in to temptation and sin more than another, does that mean the person who sinned more was more human than the person who sinned less? Just because Jesus chose not to sin when tempted does not mean He was not completely human.

Who cares, and who could prove it either way?
The real question is why you care, and do you? and is being debauched what "human " is all about?
Is missing out on that particular range of human behavior good or bad? Who says and why?
I have partaken of "the sins of the flesh" and found the whole thing "wanting." For myself.
I am happily living with my bf and we are in love, committed and connected in more than flesh.
I prefer this.
I am a grown-up and don't care at all what other people think of my arrangement.
What Jesus would do or not, is almost irrelevant to me, except that I think he was a generous and tolerant person. I think he upset a lot of people by living "out loud."
I try to emulate the aspects of his life, as reported, of which I approve.
I am my final authority.

The Bible says he was tempted in every way that we are, yet He did not sin.
He is 100% man and 100% God at the same time.
I understand what you are asking at the human level, but I submit that it is something that is beyond our human understanding.
On a humorous note along this same line of thought, my Mom, who was a devout Christian but of course had her fleshly human side, used to say only half kidding that if Jesus really wanted to identify with us, He should have been a woman and a mother. Maybe that's why the Catholics think Mary is so special??? She has gone on to her eternal reward now, so I'd like to think that all her human doubts and questions have been more than answered in eternity!
I will just take it on faith that He really does know me and understand me!

The traditional Christians can argue all they want, but nothing in the gospels can prove if he was married or wasn't. The books that do indicate that he could have been married were thrown out by the early church when they invented the Trinity. I personally believe that he was and that he has decendents walking on the face of this earth right now. So, he would have experienced that part of human behavior.

He did not miss out. He inspired men to write the entire range of human behavior. The BIBLE.

He had a mission. To come as the spotless sacrifice Lamb for the sins of the world. I mean more to Him in this matter than all the niceties this world could offer.
Hebrews 4:15
For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.

he did not because he was born perfect and although he was tempted by the sins of the flesh his love for God was stronger. he was a Human more than we can ever be because we were made to be perfect and sinless but he and adam were the only ones to do so.

No He did not. Read the Bible. He was human because He was flesh and blood and felt pain, had feelings, etc. He was also tempted and resisted temptation. I could go on and on but I'm not gonna type forever. Read the New Testiment. If you have any ???'s, e-mail me. I'll be praying for you.

some people believe he "fornicated" with mary magdalin like in that movie the da vinci code. but i don't. and sins of the flesh, he did no sin so he should've missed a lot of life of humans today and back then.
that thing with mary magdalin was in this: Nag Hammadi Gnostic Gospels. but i think its fake
