Hebrews 4:15 vs. My Skeptic Friend

The last part of Hebrews 4:15, referring to Jesus (see Heb. 4:14) states that Jesus "was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin."

I've got this skeptic friend who's favorite "hobby" seems to be reading the Bible just to find somewhere where there's some statement that would appear to be a contradiction in God's Word.

The other day he came up to me with this one. "Most men who are married have, at least once in their married lives, toyed with the idea (and many have gone further than just being toyed with the idea) of being physically unfaithful to their wives.

Jesus's wife--all the truly saved people--must, therefore, have experienced His being unfaithful to her. Show me where in your Bible where Jesus was physically unfaithful to His wife!"

I must admit that I honestly can't find an example wherein He was physically unfaithful to His wife.

Granted, He hasn't yet been married to His wife, but if you recall that back in Bible days, if a man was betrothed to a woman, he was in the people's eyes just as committed to his wife-to-be in the physical sense even though the couple had not yet physically consummated their marriage (see Matthew 1:19 as an example).

I'm really baffled about this one.

I'd appreciate hearing from my BB friends how they would answer my skeptic friend on this challenge that he has posed to me.

Jesus was God in human flesh, so can God Himself really ever sin?
