I was born human and learned how to exist as a human over time -- from teachings, instinct, learned behavior, etc. I don't place the Lord in any different category than that. If I do, then He wasn't as human as me. Yes, He was God incarnate and remained sinless His entire life, but He was born and raised much like we all are in the context of what we're discussing.

I think you are missing the point. If you can't understand that Jesus was God before becoming human, then I can't help you. Before becoming human, He didn't act human, dress human, or behave like a human, however, He had to do that once becoming human.
We also adapt to our surroundings, even though we are born human. If you were raised by a pack of wild dogs, you wouldn't act human even though you'd look like one. If someone took you out of that environment, you would have to adapt to being human, because even though you are human, you weren't raised as one.
God, before becoming human, never dealt with many things that us humans go through. There certainly was an adaption that took place when He suddenly had to deal with humiliation, rejection, and pain.....things He'd never experienced before.
But again, if you don't understand that, then I don't know what else to say.
