He was physical born as a Human being, his flesh, but his humanity was sinless, so that was not same as all of us!
Not true. Adam was created sinless.

What do the Scriptures say about Him?If yes, would that not have meant that he was born a sinner?
I understand the desire to understand how the doctrine we believe concerning Jesus and ourselves fits together.What do the Scriptures say about Him?
Philippians 2:6-8, Romans 5:19, John 1:14, Galatians 4:4, Hebrews 2:14, 1 John 1:1, 1 John 4:2 and many others.
Is there a need to go beyond what is written?
If you return to the Symbol of Chalcedon it states:If yes, would that not have meant that he was born a sinner?
If you return to the Symbol of Chalcedon it states:
THE SYMBOL OF CHALCEDON
The Symbol of Chalcedon, adopted at the fourth and fifth sessions of the Fourth Ecumenical Council, dates back to 451 A.D.. Philip Schaff, in his Creeds of Christendom, writes of the Symbol (or Creed) of Chalcedon, “While the first Council of Nicaea had established the eternal, pre-existent Godhead of Christ, the Symbol of the Fourth Ecumenical Council relates to the incarnate Logos, as he walked upon earth and sits on the right hand of the Father. It is directed against the errors of Nestorius and Eutyches, who agreed with the Nicene Creed as opposed to Arianism, but put the Godhead of Christ in a false relation to his humanity.”3
We, then, following the holy Fathers, all with one consent, teach men to confess one and the same Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, the same perfect in Godhead and also perfect in manhood; truly God and truly man, of a reasonable [rational] soul and body; consubstantial [coessential] with us according to the manhood; in all things like unto us, without sin; begotten before all ages of the Father according to the Godhead, and in these latter days, for us and for our salvation, born of the Virgin Mary, the mother of God, according to the Manhood; one and the same Christ, Son, Lord, Only-begotten, to be acknowledged in two natures, inconfusedly, unchangeably, indivisibly, inseparably; the distinction of natures being by no means taken away by the union, but rather the property of each nature being preserved, and concurring in one person and one Subsistence, not parted or divided into two persons, but one and the same Son, and only begotten, God the Word, the Lord Jesus Christ, as the prophets from the beginning [have declared] concerning him, and the Lord Jesus Christ himself has taught us, and the Creed of the holy Fathers has handed down to us.

= Jesus has a human body and soul/mind. But his person is God the eternal Son. He was born sinless because he did not have a human spirit as we do. His Spirit is God.
So Chalcedon is wrong? The human spirit (the flesh) is born wicked. He did not have it. He is God as far as Spirit.What? Jesus was born sinless because of the Virgin Birth. Don't go liberal.
Stick with the creeds, they = Christianity.What? Jesus was born sinless because of the Virgin Birth. Don't go liberal.
You are saying Jesus has a wicked human spirit along with the Spirit of God. = crazy. He has one Spirit, God, and human nature consisting of a sinless body and mind/soul.What? Jesus was born sinless because of the Virgin Birth. Don't go liberal.
What would you call the nature of us that has to be born again then?
Jesus explained this, "there is none good but one, that is, God." -- Mark 10:18. Also Jesus received from His mother the same "knowledge of good and evil" from our common human parents Adam and Eve that causes the sinful nature in all of us. What you are failing to see is the "knowlege of good and evil" that is in man the cause of the sinful nature is part of Jesus' divine nature as God. (Genesis 3:22).He was physical born as a Human being, his flesh, but his humanity was sinless, so that was not same as all of us!

No. Without sin (per Scripture).Minus our sin nature?
But you give him two persons = crazy when he is only one person, the eternal Son of God.No, I am saying that Jesus was sinless because of the Virgin Birth. Turn right & go straight. Jesus is truly man and truly God, Dave.
He did not have a sinful human spirit. He is God only in Spirit.He did not have it because of the Virgin Birth. They used to teach that in Sunday School.
He did not have a sinful human spirit. He is God only in Spirit.
But you give him two persons = crazy when he is only one person, the eternal Son of God.
It also says he is one Person, God, not two persons as in crazy.That is not what Chalcedon says. It lists Virgin Birth.
He had a fully human nature and a fully divine nature in ONE Person, God.If you don't believe in truly man and truly God, why did you allude to Chalcedon?
