He did become one of us.

He became sin for us. He didn't become a sinner.

This is what I am referring to.

What is 'nature' referring to?

nature

1. the nature of things, the force, laws, order of nature
2. as opposed to what is monstrous, abnormal, perverse
3. as opposed what has been produced by the art of man: the natural branches, i.e. branches by the operation of nature
4. birth, physical origin
5. a mode of feeling and acting which by long habit has become nature
6. the sum of innate properties and powers by which one person differs from others, distinctive native peculiarities, natural characteristics: the natural strength, ferocity, and intractability of beasts

I believe the definition in bold is the definition being used. This is a cultural definition. By asking the question, there is a possibility of the answer being 'no'. There are cultures in which long hair on men is common and acceptable, and if Paul asked them the above question, they would answer 'no'.

Obviously, Paul was speaking to a culture where long hair on men wasn't acceptable. John the Baptist never cut his hair, but I doubt Paul would have told him he was shameful in not doing so.

He didnt sin, but in a sense he did become a sinner in our place-

Jesus become a sin -offering ,but I don't think He became sin.
He suffered for sin ,but He wasn't punished for sin ,because being punished implies guilt ,which Christ had none ,because He had no fallen Adamic nature.
