The topic is not about was Jesus a sinner. He never sinned. However just as he was tempted. We too are also tempted, and we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
This is why the writer of Hebrews wrote,
The point is though Jesus was tempted, he can understand why we do fall short, and when we have those inclinations and fall. The point he understands.
There are so many people who say if you do fall short, God doesn’t love you anymore. That God is angry with you… none of that is true…
So we can learn to understand that Jesus too, was tempted just like us. So no one can say God doesn’t love people just because they fall short, and we have the High Priest who understand and can sympathize with us and through Yeshua by the spirit of Christ we can go to Yahavah about these things, find mercy, and understanding.
Like I’ve stated there are many people out there who will say if you fall short God doesn’t love you. That stuff is not true, we are able to get to Yahavah and ask him to help us in our short coming because knows we go through them, just as Jesus was tempted we can find some common ground here on these matters.
Isn’t that wonderful?
For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are
This is why both you and Saul,the supposed author of the letter,epistle,to the Hebrews,are wrong. And it is proof Saul did not know our Lord.
Jesus was not tempted as we are,and though in flesh,would not be able to be tempted "as we are".
Because Jesus did not possess a Sin Nature as we have.
Satan did not know this "man" who walked the earth and raised the dead,healed the blind, cast put demons,was The Word made flesh.
Which is why Satan challenged Jesus for proof He was.
"If you are the Son of God...."
Lucifers sin in Heaven was pride.And ego.
He thought himself able to do God's job better than God himself.And sought to take his place. Which is why Lucifer sinned against God and formed an angel army and lead them in a war against God.
Of course Lucifer lost. He and his army were cast out of Heaven. "And I saw Lucifer (aka " light bringer"), fall from Heaven like lightening."
Lucifer tempted Jesus in the desert to see if He,with the power He had already shown the people, would be possessed of ego and pride Himself.
Could Jesus turn rocks into bread? Of course. Lucifer,aka Satan, wanted Jesus to Sin!
To prove He was just a man at heart. To fall by leading a miracle worker to feel He had to prove Himself by using good, God's power,for evil, i.e. conceding to Satan's command.
At one point in their encounter Jesus preached righteousness to Lucifer as Jesus continued to ignored Lucifers challenges.
Jesus was God. He obeyed as a man, as an example, His mission to the world.
It is one thing to bring your new covenant to your people. It is another to live your teaching before those you choose as witness.
".....Ordinarily, however, the word means solicitation to that which is evil, and hence Satan is called "the tempter" (
Matthew 4:3). Our Lord was in this way tempted in the wilderness. That temptation was not internal, but by a real, active, subtle being. It was not self-sought. It was submitted to as an act of obedience on his part. "Christ was led, driven. An unseen personal force bore him a certain violence is implied in the words" (
Matthew 4:1-11).
The scene of the temptation of our Lord is generally supposed to have been the mountain of Quarantania (q.v.), "a high and precipitous wall of rock, 1,200 or 1,500 feet above the plain west of Jordan, near Jericho." "
