I already said we do not know which specific sins He was tempted with other than the account of a certain three given in
Luke 4. But we do know that any number of the sins that fall under the three categories were what He was tempted with. We simply do not know which.

The WHOLE simply means lust of the eye-lust of the flesh-pride of life presented to Him from the Devil OUTSIDE not orignating from his own nature.

THREE "WHOLES" were those in which He was tempted. Three categories.
Brother, if He was tempted, then THE INSIDE WAS ENTICED! EVERY MAN, Jesus included, WHEN HE IS TEMPTED is drawn away of his own lusts and ENTICED. Without enticement it is only OUTSIDE. But then it is not tempation without enticement. I see no problem with the issue. What is your problem with it?

You and I have enough problems with our own nature the devil does not have to present us temptations we are a temptation factory.

Right! But Jesus nevertheless WAS STILL ENTICED TO SIN... A.K.A., TEMPTED.
Adam and Eve had no sinful nature before they sinned. How was Eve tempted? SAME WAY JESUS WAS.
