But then there is the other half. Jesus the man received half his DNA from his Father who is God Almighty.
Anything that God does is perfect. Stamped over Jesus humanity is the touch of the divine.

By virtue of his father, Jesus was able to overcome Sin. When we become Sons and Daughters of God, we are given by grace, thru faith, what Jesus was given by birth!
Sounds good to me. I feel that He could have sinned if He wanted, but He did not because of the God factor.
