did Jesus also inherit sinful nature from eve?

-

 Based on the sources, it is not stated that Jesus inherited a "sinful nature" from Eve. Instead, the sources emphasize a nuanced understanding of the human nature Jesus took:

  • Adam and Eve's Original Nature: Adam and Eve were created pure, upright, and sinless, in the image of God, with perfect thoughts and holy aims, and in harmony with God's law. There were "no corrupt principles, no tendencies to evil" in Adam before the Fall.
  • The Effect of Adam's Transgression on Humanity: Through Adam and Eve's disobedience (transgression), their nature became perverted and weakened. As a result, their posterity, including Seth, inherited a fallen nature and were born with "inherent propensities of disobedience" or "sinful propensities". Sin corrupted the "whole human organism," perverted the mind, and degraded the soul's faculties. This is described as humanity being "tainted and corrupted".
  • Jesus's Nature and the Absence of Sinful Propensities: The sources are very clear that Jesus was without the "taint of sin". He possessed a human nature that was "perfectly identical with our own nature, except without the taint of sin". He had "no trace of imperfection in his life or character". He did not possess the "same sinful, corrupt, fallen disloyalty we possess", nor was there "not one moment... an evil propensity" in Him. He "did not in the least participate in its sin".
  • Jesus Took "Degenerate Humanity" and "Infirmities": While Jesus did not inherit a sinful nature or evil propensities, He did take upon Himself human nature "in its deteriorated condition". This means He experienced the effects of sin on humanity, such as physical weariness, hunger, thirst, and sorrow. He was "made like unto his brethren" in all things (except sin).
  • The Purpose of Christ's Human Nature: By taking on humanity, Christ could be "tempted in all points like as we are, yet without sin". This was to demonstrate that it is possible for humanity, through reliance on divine power, to overcome temptation and live in obedience to God's law, thereby refuting Satan's boast that man could not keep the law.

In summary, the sources assert that while all descendants of Adam inherited a "fallen nature" with propensities to sin due to his transgression, Jesus did not inherit this sinful nature. He took on human nature with its infirmities and liabilities (the consequences of sin on the human organism) but remained perfectly sinless in character and internal inclination. His mission was to demonstrate that humanity, when united with divinity, could perfectly obey God's law despite the weaknesses of a fallen world.

Sabbath Cooking Excuses Investigated Copyright 2016 Winelfred G. Pasamba Foreword "God means that testing truth shall be brought to the front, and become a subject of examination and discussion, even if it is through the contempt placed upon it. The minds of the people must be agitated. Every controversy, every reproach, every slander, will be God's means of provoking inquiry, and awakening minds that otherwise would slumber."—Testimonies for the Church 5:453. ChS 159.2 This is a very difficult, very shaking, very testing, very new and controversial (for many who are not oriented) topic and I request the readers not go to Chapter 3 & 4 unless they have read Chapter 1 & 2.  If you go directly to Chapter 3, you probably will be highly uncomfortable if you have no testimony of avoiding cooking on the Sabbath. Readers need utter humility and gratitude-to-God, for this material not to offend them.  Love for God must be more than love for food, love for comfo...
