Jesus had a sinful nature - it's why He had to "learn obedience". Saying He had a sinful nature is NOT saying He was sinful - He was perfectly obedient. It's not a sin to be tempted, but to yield to it:One of many problems with your blasphemy against the holy spirit.
You also misrepresent what is actually written in Hebrews 2.
The nature of angels? Is not that of sinless perfection. Angels rebelled against God in the war in heaven.
The actual Hebrews 2 verse reads like this:
Hebrews 2:16 For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he helps the offspring of Abraham. 17 Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.
Jesus was tempted and suffered,fasting 40 days and nights in the desert.
He did not succumb to temptation because he was made like his brothers in every respect except being divine, he could not have a sin nature.
Why? He was begotten of God.
To insist Jesus had a sin nature is to say God's divine nature shared space with the fallen sin nature.
And while some here do insist Jesus saved himself when he saved us, because they claim he had a sin nature, that's blasphemy against the holy spirit too.
"Yield not to temptation,
For yielding is sin;
Each vic'try will help you,
some other to win;
Fight manfully onward,
dark passions subdue.
Look ever to Jesus,
He will carry you through."
