Hard to imagine that Jesus was tempted by internet [censored], or ungodly parents, or Cheetos. If you say He was, then your imagination is better than mine.

There is no excuse for any one in taking the position that there is no more truth to be revealed, and that all our expositions of Scripture are without an error. The fact that certain doctrines have been held as truth for many years by our people, is not a proof that our ideas are infallible. Age will not make error into truth, and truth can afford to be fair. No true doctrine will lose anything by close investigation. RH 12/20/1892

You must never have experienced internet [censored], ungodly parents, and Cheetos.

I'm reminded of a discussion on child training. I asked her if she had kids. She said she did not, but was experienced in it because she had taught Juniors SS for a long time. But parents know better.
So also with Jesus. There are so many facets of our lives with which He had no experience. But had He experienced them, He would have disqualified Himself from His task.
The good news is that what He did experience was much harder than our challenges. He helps us, not by being in the same mire, but by showing how to overcome it. If His difficulty was tied to our weakness, then we have a logical dilemma.

Amen! Jesus never mired in the muck of sinning. However, resisting temptation from within and from without is not mire or muck - it is victory!

Jesus was tempted in ways we know nothing of. He was thoroughly familiar with the future. From time to time, He saw it in all its ugly detail. It is not hard to imagine Jesus resisting the temptations we face nearly every day. There is noting new under the sun. Sin is sin no matter how many different ways it is packaged.
Also, Jesus had to resist his mother's attempts to coerce Him to comply with the ideas and wishes of certain Jewish leaders. And, eating Cheetos is not a sin. Overeating is a sin.

But some temptations require muck. Jesus didn't wade through those.

Also, Jesus had to resist his mother's attempts to coerce Him to comply with the ideas and wishes of certain Jewish leaders. That's not quite what I had in mind as "ungodly" parents. One can easily find many much worse than Mary. And, eating Cheetos is not a sin. Overeating is a sin. Cheese should not be introduced into the stomach.

Which temptations require the muck of sinning?
Can sinning come from without?
It is not a sin to eat cheese.
