when I think of Jesus and the human nature, this verse comes to mind:
Php 2:6 who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped,
Php 2:7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.
Php 2:8 Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
Sounds like a choice was made.
When Adam was created, he had no sin nature, that didn't come until he ate from the tree. As a result of that, everyone after Adam was born into sin, .... because of one man's sin.............Rom 5:12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned--
until Christ - the begotten son had no sin nature, and in 1st cor is referred to as "the last Adam"
1st Cor 15:45 The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
and with that came the promise
Rom 5:15 But the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many.
Heb 2:17 Therefore, He had to be made like His brethren in all things, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.
Heb 2:18 For since He Himself was tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted.
I think whoever said "Jesus had no human nature" really meant that He had no sin nature.
there was no sin in Jesus.
