Christ Jesus' progenitor was NOT the corrupted "seed" of Adam, rather that of the Spirit, therefore He did not inherit a "propensity" (aka, "nature") to sin, although because His fleshly body was formed in and came out of sinful flesh, then after this manner He, like all of humanity, inherited the penalty of death. This is why the Hebrews writer tells us that it "behoved" (that is, was necessary) for Him to be made like unto His brethren.
So bottom line ...... It is all in the "seed."

The "Third Law of Creation" explains the seed in man very well. However, Jesus was
born of the seed of the woman, hence he DID NOT inherit the propensity to sin. The
resurrection is proof that Jesus did not sin, because death could not hold him (
"...the
soul that sins shall die..."). The only penalty Jesus incurred was for OUR sins.
Yes!
"It is all in the seed."
